Sorry folks, if I inadvertently touched a nerve on both sides re: my remark, "I think the last one has already been accomplished," on school children that someday may become a US president. Actually, I was not referring to any particular US president, past or present. IMHO, most if not all of the US presidents, at least in the past half century, have probably shown some smart-alecky, dumb, or bonehead responses/behavior during their childhood which somehow may have propelled them to the (US) presidency.

Here are examples of some of the presidents' best/worst lines (circa past 50 some years):

.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Presidents’ Best/Worst Lines--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyndon B. Johnson: “Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.” (When asked why he didn’t take one of VP Nixon’s speeches more seriously)

Richard Nixon: “I was not lying. I said things that later on seemed to be untrue.” (Reflecting on the Watergate Scandal in 1978)

Gerald Ford: 1) “If Abraham Lincoln were alive today to hear that remark, he’d be turning over in his grave.” (Said in a House debate, 1967)
2) “There is no Soviet domination in Easter Europe.” (A fatal gaffe during a debate with Jimmy Carter, Oct. 6, 1976)

Jimmy Carter: “I’ve looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do – and I have done it – and God forgives me for it.” (Interview, Playboy, Nov. 1976)

Ronald Reagan: “I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” (Debate with Walter Mondale, 1984. Even Monday himself couldn’t help but laugh.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoPu1UIBkBc

George HW Bush: “Read my lips: no new taxes!” (Republican National Convention, Aug. 18, 1988. Then he raised taxes in 1990.)

VP Dan (Mr. P-O-T-A-T-O-E) Quayle, on June 15, 1992, Munoz Rivera Elementary School, Trenton, NJ. (I know he was not a president. But, his piece was priceless. I bet that chalk must be worth lots of $$$ by now.)

Bill Clinton: “It depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is.” (Grand Jury Testimony, Monicagate, Aug. 17, 1998)

George W. Bush (He is the master): 1) “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.” (During a signing ceremony for defense-spending bill, Aug. 5, 2004). Top that.
2) “They misunderestimated me.” (In Bentonville, Arkansas, Nov. 6, 2000)
3) “Too many OB/Gyns aren’t able to practice their love with women all across the country.” (Poplar Bluff, MO, Sept. 6, 2004)
4) “There’s an old saying in Tennessee – I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee – that says, fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.” (Nashville, TN, Sept. 17, 2002)

Barack Obama: “Cut it out.” (What he told Putin regarding Russia meddling with the US election, 2016)

Donald Trump: 1) “It’s very hard for them to attack me on looks because I’m so good-looking.” (Meet The Press, Aug. 9, 2015)
2) “If Hillary can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America.” (via a Tweet, 4/16/15 which was originated by a Texas cowgirl college student, Sawyer Burmeister)

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

OR, clever as it is, this us really a page of riddles. No school class anywhere would have such a collection of unrelated items on a page and call it an exam.
