That particular story [The Pyramid and the Ass] was written during the dark days of the Bush years. George W. Bush had just been re-elected (or elected for the first time, depending on how you count the stolen election) and it seemed like the horror of his presidency would last forever.

The way I approach stardom and the show, I'm like a politician. I'm an elected late-night official to do your work.
Arsenio Hall

Democrats can't get elected unless things get worse-and things won't get worse unless they get elected.
Jeane Kirkpatrick

For years, overseas, the U.S. has been willing to not only tolerate what is in effect violent fascism, but implement it in country after country after country, in Latin America, in Africa, in Asia, overthrowing elected governments and backing the rise of military dictatorships.
Allan Nairn

I promise that as a president elected in a direct popular vote, I will try to be the voice of all citizens.
Milos Zeman

Electing a black man named Barack Obama President in the same country that elected George W. Bush - twice! - is as far-fetched as a hustler from Marcy performing at that President's inauguration. But it happened.
Jay-Z

I was reminded that it is my obligation not only as an elected official in a pluralistic society, but also as a Christian, to remain open to the possibility that my unwillingness to support gay marriage is misguided.
Barack Obama
Image
I'm just worried that the technology I invented in that story [The Pyramid and the Ass ] will become real, and George W. Bush will be able to clone into a new body and be re-elected due to a clone-bill passed by him and his cronies. God forbid!
Alexander Weinstein

The man was a deceiver. He was deceitful and I will never bite my tongue in saying that. I don't think he was anything but a politician, and he used Negroes to get elected and to get votes.
Malcolm X

The majority of Americans, the ones who never elected George W. Bush, are not fooled by his weapons of mass distraction.
Michael Moore

And he [Franklin Roosevelt] got the votes of every southern white voting state in the country and wouldn't have been elected president once, let alone four times, if he hadn't. Now, at the same time he acquired over the years a reputation for being sympathetic to blacks, and he got their votes, heaven knows.

The square was finally cleared by armed carabineri with tears of laughter streaming down their faces. The event set a record for hilarious civic functions, smashing the previous record set when Baron Hans Neizant B ompzidaize was elected Landburgher of K oln in 1653.

One of the problems in Washington is there are far too many politicians who desperately just want to get re-elected.
Ted Cruz

The public are entitled to have an absolute guarantee of the financial probity and integrity of their elected representatives, their officials and above all of Ministers. They need to know that they are under financial obligations to nobody, other than public lending institutions, except to the extent that they are publicly declared.
Bertie Ahern
Image
In adultery, there is usually tenderness and self-sacrifice in murder, courage in profanation and blasphemy, a certain satanic splendour. Judas elected those offences unvisited by any virtues: abuse of confidence and informing.
Jorge Luis Borges
Image
The future is our responsibility, but change will not take place until the majority loose confidence in their dictator’s and elected officials’ ability to solve problems. It will likely take an economic catastrophe resulting in enormous human suffering to bring about true social change.
Jacque Fresco
Image
My fiction is a very accurate reflection of the world we live in. Certainly, in some stories, that reflection is amplified but America elected a man who enjoys grabbing women by their pussies.
Roxane Gay

I regret the way that America has elected to make films for its bluntest section of society and in ways that flatter them, and we have to recognize how much that is being done for money. We have to find another way of measuring ourselves. And film is one of the few ways that might be done.
Edward Jay Epstein

If I don't have the books to read, if I don't have the information to study, how can I succeed? That's a lot of the stuff I would focus on if I was elected because I think knowledge is power.
Richard Sherman

Michele Bachmann said that if she is elected president, she would consider eliminating the Department of Education because the states could do a gooder job.
Jay Leno

We must not expect a full-scale peaceful revolution every time a Labour Government is elected
Roy Jenkins

I'm having my platform run up by a movie set designer, so it will be very impressive from the front, but not too premanent. After all, there's no sense putting a lot of time and thought into something you'll have no use for after you're elected.
Gracie Allen

There's no question that [Donald] Trump got elected because of rural America. And our party still is in denial. They don't get it.
Collin Peterson

Democracy demands that elected members be able to realize fully the role for which they have been chosen.
