Who’s that Prez Quiz?

CONGRATS MARK!  Have you been studying?

In honor of the the new President  this week’s quiz is full of quotes from past Presidents (of the United States!) and one from our new President.

Here’s how to play…Identify the President and leave a comment with the # and the name and I’ll cross it off the list. No Googling, that’s cheating and no fun!

    #11 – that sounds like W’s famous speech that made my skin crawl.

    I can’t wait to check back and see all the answers! There are some really interesting quotes here. (I love your quizzes, BTW!)

    You are correct! I bet you never thought you’d see your name right next to W’s 🙂

  2. Elena says:

    Euw! Could we insert some additional text such as “was never voted for by” ?!?

    😀

    (I’m just kidding, I’ll be a big girl about it!)

    I find it is easier to be big about it now that he’s back in Texas 🙂

    #13 – I think that was Obama.

    I thought that might trip people up because he certainly could have said it! #13 was not Obama.

  4. The old roomate says:

    4 is Lincoln and 15 is the guy with a week on the job. We missed you last week, by the way.

    A list of Presidential quotes and the one with “change” is from Reagan? Yowza.

    I had a much better time watching the coverage and I didn’t see you on tv! I can’t wait to hear details next time I visit (my goal is early spring).
