Yes, believe it or not, these are all genuine quotes from the man the people elected as the 43rd US President:
Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.
I admit it, I am not one of the great linguists.
For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it.
I am a person who recognizes the fallacy of humans.
I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them.
I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
I know how hard it is to put food on your family.
I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe - I believe what I believe is right.
I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here.
I recently met with the finance minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of finances.
I think anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is underestimating.
I think war is a dangerous place.
I understand small business growth. I was one.
I wish I wasn't the war president. Who in the heck wants to be a war president? I don't.
I'm not a very good novelist. But it'd make a pretty interesting novel.
If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow.
If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier - so long as I'm the dictator.
I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things.
I'm the master of low expectations.
I'm the commander - see, I don't need to explain - I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being President.
It would be a mistake for the United States Senate to allow any kind of human cloning to come out of that chamber.
Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?
Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people and neither do we.
The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur.
There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably Tennessee, that says 'Fool me once [pause], shame onshame on you. [Long pause] Fool me. [Pause] You can't get fooled again.'
They have miscalculated me as a leader.
They misunderestimated me.
This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating.
We cannot let terrorists and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile.
We need an energy bill that encourages consumption.
We ought to make the pie higher.
We're concerned about AIDS inside our White House - make no mistake about it.
Will the highways on the Internet become more few?
Do you have blacks, too? (To Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso)
When I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible.
You're free. And freedom is beautiful. And, you know, it'll take time to restore chaos and order - order out of chaos. But we will.
This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mential losses.
I think there is a Trojan horse lurking in the weeds trying to pull a fast one on the American people.
This is a world that is much more uncertain than the past. In the past we were certain, we were certain it was us versus the Russians in the past. We were certain, and therefore we had huge nuclear arsenals aimed at each other to keep the peace. That's what we were certain ofYou see, even though it's an uncertain world, we're certain of some things.
It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas.
I think we agree, the past is over.
And there's no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail.
The important question is, how many hands have I shaked.
GeneralI can't name the general.(When asked to name President of Pakistan)
We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease.
The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein, and his willingness to terrorize himself.
When I was a kid I remember that they used to put out there in the Old West a wanted poster. It said, Wanted: Dead or Alive.
My answer is to bring them on. (On Iraqi militants attacking US forces)

(from Edo Competition Press Release) pursuit of speed
edo competition modifies the Bentley Continental GT
It was paramount for edo competition to turn the Bentley Continental into the worlds fastest GT. Consequentially, particular attention was paid to the engine modifications and all associated components.
In factory trim the Bentley reaches a top speed of 326 km/h (203 mph) with 610 horsepower. Since this provided a good starting point for the edo speed GT, the power output of the 6.0-liter W12 engine was increased to 680 horsepower, making edo competitions offering the most powerful GT in the world. The already massive torque output of 750 Nm (553 ft-lb) rises to 880 Nm (649 ft-lb) at 2,500 rpm. As a result the edo speed GT reaches a top speed in excess of 340 km/h (211 mph) and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a phenomenal 4.2 seconds!
Getting this power to the ground are 20 in. racing wheels shod with Sport Contact V-Max tires specially developed by Continental for the edo speed GT. The wheels can be painted according to the customers wishes.
edo competition has developed a new high-performance exhaust system for the speed GT which along with the ECU recalibration is responsible for the increased output. The high-flow exhaust is made from stainless steel and produces a wonderfully deep and sonorous sound, ensuring the aural experience is given appropriate attention. A new butterfly valve system (with an optional remote control) provides two different settings for the volume level. The development work for the cat-back exhaust system was performed on a dynamometer.
The lowered suspension draws attention to the sporty appearance. The suspension can be adjusted individually thanks to the electronic air suspension control module. The front and rear of the vehicle can be lowered by a maximum of 35 millimeters. As an additional benefit the lowered suspension improves the handling capabilities.
Beautiful wrapper: Customers with a desire for guaranteed exclusivity can opt for a custom exterior color scheme. This is realized using a special foil available in any desired color.

What are the first 3 things you would Buy??? in order!!!
Jaguar has yet to sign-off on the project but according sources, that shouldnt be a problem. Rendell says that the car will be more of a Porsche Boxster, BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK competitor. Sources tell Rendell that the future of the XE is tied up with the next-generation XK which isnt due until 2012 or 2013.

Ford iosis Max
Is this the most aggressive people carrier you've ever seen? Kia reveals its new No 3 concept by suggesting that it's the first beautiful MPV and Ford turns up with the iosis Max, a concept so angry-looking it probably eats pretty little Kias for breakfast (especially given that the Koreans appear to have adopted Ford's design language, but that's another story). With downforce-generating c-pillars, an enormous rear wing and grab handles influenced by aircraft vortices, we've never seen a people carrier quite like this. But despite the visual stroppiness, the iosis Max is really a big softy at heart. Powered by a 1.6-liter Ecoboost, it debuts Ford's new family of environmentally friendly turbo engines.
Frazer-Nash Namir by Giugiaro
Maybach Zeppelin
Compared to this car, the Rolls-Royce 200EX concept looks like a positive paragon of virtue and prudence. Say hello, plutocrat, this here is the limited edition, $564,699-plus Maybach Zeppelin. It has a 640-horsepower twin turbo V12 and a back-seat perfume dispenser. What more could you possibly ask for? Based on the existing Maybach 57S and 62S, the company reckons it can sell 100 of each of them. Special features include the unique two-tone exterior finish, Zeppelin badges everywhere including on the standard champagne flutes and more streamlined mirrors. The name comes from the airships, Maybach having supplied the originals' engines.

ANYONE WANNA RACE
The Nike Dunk High Supreme "Octodunk" Pack [What Ya'll Think Bout These] (08/6/08)*-*
Nike Dunk High Supreme Octodunk Pack with its seamless upper and an allover polka dot design. Don't look at them too long..shit is f**king up my eyes! lol
The Nike Dunk High Supreme Octodunk Pack comes in five colorways
This pack will be released at on August 8th - the start of the Olympic Games in Beijing
Every day before sunrise, he arrives at the temple steps, places his feet in his footprints and bends down to pray a few thousand times before walking around the temple.
The footprints are 1.2 inches deep where the balls of his feet have pressed into the wood.
But the years are beginning to make their own mark on his body.
'During the first years I would pray 2,000 to 3,000 times a day.
'But I have grown older, so in recent years I have only done around 1,000 each day,' he said, adding sheepishly that he could sometimes only manage around 500 in the cold of winter.

Sony Celebrates a Decade of the PS2 with Custom Sneakers
Check out the sweet kicks above. Those are custom Nike Air Force Ones to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the PlayStation 2 in Japan.
The 10th Anniversary version of one of the most collectible Air Force Ones features gradient color bleeds on patent leather(!) uppers and standard AF1 liners. Although less than 50 pairs were created, these babies are not numbered. Sony made 'em to give out to company executives, media people, and other important members of society. So no, you probably won't be given a pair...but that doesn't mean you can't get your sneaker-pimp hands on 'em!
The first pair of these unique sneaks is on the eBay auction block right now, being sold off for charity. Current bid: US $2,135.00.
Ferrari 599XX
If the 100th-anniversary Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire had been blessed with the 1,350 horsepower rumored before the show, it would almost certainly have made our supercar pick here in place of this Ferrari. But as it is, the Bug is just a particularly tasty one-off special edition. And the 599XX is utterly mental. Even the extreme looks don't quite do this car justice. A track-only special that will be offered exclusively to hand-picked Ferrari faithful, the 599XX is packed with advanced, Formula 1-derived technology, and can lap the Fiorano test track in 1 minute 17 seconds. That's seven seconds faster than an Enzo. Whoa.
Mansory Chopster
You could argue and many people do that the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is outrageous enough upon leaving the factory. A 550-horsepower 2.5-ton SUV that can do zero to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds doesn't really need any help in this regard. Still, you can't fault specialist tuner Mansory's effort when trying. This is the Mansory Chopster. It has 710 horses under the hood. The revised bodywork is crafted entirely from carbon fiber. The roofline has been lowered 2.4 inches hence the name and the suspension dropped by 1.8 inches. The alloy wheels are a ridiculous 23 inches in diameter, and you could literally fit your head in the exhaust. It's awful. But we really, really want one.
Rinspeed ichange
If there's one thing you can rely on at the Geneva Auto Show, it's that Swiss coach builder Rinspeed will always have something completely ridiculous on display. Last year it was the sQuba a bizarre, amphibian, modified Lotus Elise. This year it's the iChange, a concept car that adapts its body shape depending on the number of passengers onboard. This is really quite a bright idea, reflecting the reality that most cars are single-occupant vehicles for most of the time. So when there's just the driver, the iChange adopts a streamlined teardrop shape. Need more space, and the back pops up to accommodate two additional passengers. An electric motor provides the power.
Bentley Continental Supersports
What we like particularly about the Bentley Continental Supersports is that Bentley is pitching it as the first stage in the company's new environmental commitment. OK, it uses biofuel. Fine, but the Continental Supersports is also the fastest, most powerful Bentley ever made. Somehow the two aspects don't quite compute. Then there's the genius of having a car as big as a Bentley Continental, and fitting only two seats in it. The Supersports develops 630 horsepower, for crying out loud. It does zero to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds, and has a top speed of 204 mph. Would the extra weight really have made that much difference?
Koenigsegg NLV Quant concept
What the ...? Seriously, sitting just next to this on the same stand was yet another Special Edition version of the fabulous Koenigsegg CCXR a car that's as dramatic as it is unaffordable. The Koenigsegg Quant, on the other hand, looks like an extra-large, super-ugly, upside-down bathtub. Still, the attempt to create a solar-electric supercar with space for four is virtuous enough, we suppose. And the projected statistics make intriguing reading: twin electric motors, rear-wheel drive, 512 horsepower, zero to 62 mph in 5.2 seconds, and a theoretical 310 mile range. The bodywork is covered in solar cells, and the aerodynamics reputedly excellent.
2010 Lamborghini Murciélago LP650-4 Roadster(Limited Editon)
Knowing that Lamborghini can squeeze an extra 29 hp from its 6.5-liter V-12 for the lightweight, limited-edition LP670-4 SuperVeloce, its not surprising that the Italian automaker can give its flagship Murciélago a milder upgrade to keep its customers hungry. The new LP650-4 roadster has been granted such a promotion, gaining nine additional horsepower for a total of 641. Torque output will remain the same, though, at 487 lb-ft.
Aside from the minor engine tweaking, the new modellimited to only 50 examplesis set apart from the lesser Murciélago LP640 roadster by a unique Grigio Telesto exterior design. The gray bodywork is accented by a special orange-painted lip spoiler and side-sills, along with similar bold touches to the brake calipers and badging.
Black Alcantara covers the drivers portion of the dash, door panel, and center tunnel, while the co-pilot must make do with only fine-leather trimmings. Orange paddle shifters direct the e-gear six-speed automated manual transmission, with additional orange accents scattered about the black interior.
Lambo estimates this bull will charge to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and top out at 205 mph. But as we have clocked an equally weighty coupe hitting 60 mph in 3.2 seconds with nine fewer ponies, the LP650-4 roadster stands to at least match the time of its fixed-roof sibling.
Its set to be the fastest open topped car Lamborghini has ever produced and with a production run limited to just 50 models its likely to be one of the most exclusive.
Capable of a top speed of over 205mph, the LP650-4 aims to blend agressive looks with stunning performance, and will be the firm's new topless flagship.
The new LP650-4 arrives hot on the heels of the Reventon a £650,000, 650bhp limited edition model released at last years
