Hopefully you will enjoy the list below but also be troubled by it at the same time. The following are 31 of the most ridiculous quotes of 2011 so far....
#1 Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke: "We have seen increased evidence that a self-sustaining recovery in consumer and business spending may be taking hold."
#2 Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart: "If [the rising price of oil] plays through to the broad economy in a way that portends a recession, I would take a position we would respond with more accommodation."
#3 Barack Obama: "We still have a long way to go, and my number one priority is to ensure we are doing everything we can to get the American people back to work."
#4 Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett: "...the federal government is doing everything that we can to foster the kind of environment where companies want to invest and grow and hire people right here in America."
#5 Michael Moore: "The nation is not broke, my friends. Wisconsin is not broke. ... The truth is, there's lots of money to go around. Lots."
#6 Muammar Gaddafi: "Our children have been manipulated by al Qaeda."
#7 George Soros: "However, it is a sad fact that Western democracies provide less successful leadership than China."
#8 U.S. Senator John McCain: "I would also point out that…an iPad or an iPhone, those are built in the United States of America. And as the president said, continuously, and I agree with him, innovation is the key to us being able to restore our economy."
#9 Russell Mead, writing for the Council on Foreign Relations: "Sometimes those elites are right, and sometimes they are wrong, but their ability to win voter approval for policies that seem counterintuitive is a critical factor in the American political system. In times like the present, when a surge of populist political energy coincides with a significant loss of popular confidence in establishment institutions — ranging from the mainstream media and the foreign policy and intellectual establishments to the financial and corporate leadership and the government itself — Jacksonian sentiment diminishes the ability of elite institutions and their members to shape national debates and policy."
#10 Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on the possibility for more quantitative easing: "In the end, we'll just ask the same questions. Where's the economy going, and what do various inflation indicator look like? We'll ask those questions. If unemployment is still too low, then we may continue. If we're moving towards full employment, then we won't need to stimulate more."
#11 Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, son of embattled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi: "We will fight until the last man, until the last woman, until the last bullet."
#12 Ziona Chana, a 66-year-old man in India that currently has 39 wives: "I once married 10 women in one year."
#13 Billy Ray Cyrus, referring to The Hannah Montana Show: "The damn show destroyed my family."
#14 Lisa Trabelsi to her husband, deposed Tunisian president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, as he hesitated to board the plane that would take them into exile: "Get on, imbecile. All my life I've had to put up with your screw-ups."
#15 Fareed Zakaria, member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission: "I believe that the Constitution was one of the wonders of the world — in the 18th century. But today we face the reality of a system that has become creaky."
