Tough test. Each and every statement could have been made by all of the answer choices. The first one in particular threw me though. B Hussein Obama and all of the others are much too eloquent to utter such a poorly worded phrase.

Good one! I naturally picked Barak Obama for all six questions, because I knew I'd heard someone saying these things in the last few years, but just assumed it was Barak Obama, because he can do no wrong, and the left-media (but I repeat myself) lets him get away with everything he says and does. I guess I'm not surprised that it is HRC, but scary!

I knew the answers. I've been watching the Clintons beginning with his first POTUS campaign. I had the opportunity to talk to a guy from Arkansas that was a top inspector and auditor for OSHA. I spent a month and a half as liaison for our plant. He left just prior to the election ( he held enough sway to take the entire month of November for deer season). He returned in December for our closing conference after the election. He enlightened me as to how corrupt the Clintons are. While he and his team were waiting for their taxi his final comment to me about the Clintons was "Good riddance, but I feel sorry for the country".

I didn't know the answers but I eliminated A, B and C in all the questions. I was sure #2 was an American politician twisting the Gettysburg Address. The others sounded like socialist politicians in Western democracies, because communist dictators don't bother to appeal to the common good once they're in power.

I used to do a lot of work in Arkansas. Everyone I asked confirmed they had voted for Bill Clinton as POTUS because it was the only way they could get him the heck out of Arkansas. The tales of Clinton corruption was legendary within the state.
