"I want Patty Murray driving the car"

"The Republicans took the car and drove it into the ditch, and it was a really deep ditch, and it was really reckless driving. So Patty and I show up at the scene of the accident, and the Republicans have climbed out of the car, and abandoned the accident. Patty and I put our boots on and go into the ditch, and it's muddy, and it's hot, and it's dusty. But we know we've got to get the car out, so we just start pushing. And even though Patty's small, she's tough, so she's pushing hard...

Finally, we get this car up on the road...Suddenly, we get this tap on our shoulder, and we turn around and who is it? It's the Republicans, and they say, "We want the keys back." You can't have the keys back! You don't know how to drive! I want Patty Murray driving the car!"

-President Barack Obama, Oct. 21, 2010
