"Ich bin ein Berliner!"
- President Kennedy (Unfortunately the translation is not "I am a Berliner!" but "I am a jam doughnut!" The good thing though is that there is little chance that the current American president will visit Hamburg or Frankfurt as he is very prone to gaffes.)

"That depends on what the definition of 'is' is."
- President Bill Clinton in his deposition on the Monica Lewinsky case.

"This is a great day for France!"
- President Richard Nixon at French President Charles de Gaulle's funeral.

"For seven and a half years, I've worked alongside President Reagan. We've had triumphs. Made some mistakes. We've had some sex ... uh ... setbacks."
- Then-Vice President George Bush, while campaigning to succeed Reagan.

"You cannot be president of the United States if you don't have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial and the Civil War and all that stuff. You can't be. And we are blessed. So don't feel sorry for — don't cry for me, Argentina. Message: I care."
- George Bush Sr. (Proof that the foot-in the-mouth disease ravaging the current presidency first struck his father.)

"Keep good relations with the Grecians."
- President Bush, Jr. (From the same president who said "I understand small-business growth - I was one.")

"Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better."
- President Bush, jr. (annihilating the USA which used to separate the two countries.)

“Nuclear war would be the greatest tragedy, I think, ever experienced by mankind in the history of mankind.”
- President Reagan, addressing a Republican Convention. Reagan tried to quote John Adams, who said, “Facts are stubborn things.” Reagan said, “Facts are stupid things.” Also author of: “The problem is the deficit is — or should I say — wait a minute, the spending, I should say, of gross national product, forgive me — the spending, I should say, of gross national product, forgive me — the spending is roughly 23 to 24 percent. So that it is in — it what is increasing while the revenues are staying proportionately the same and what would be the proper amount they should, that we should be taking from the private sector.”

"Things are more like they are now than they have ever been."
- President Gerald Ford the same who said: “There is no Soviet domination in Eastern Europe, and there never will be under a Ford administration.”(Living in a parallel universe, or having a premonition  as the year was 1967 and USSR was in full power.)

“I think that Germany will be forced to sustain Romania’s request (to join Nato) not only to do the same as France but for strategic reasons as NATO without Poland and Romania doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.”
- Romanian President Emil Constantinescu (not only a diplomatic gaffe as he practically says that Germany should follow France's lead but the fact that NATO started its existence in 1949, existing for almost 50 years without the genius of the Romanian president makes "no sense whatsoever" to him).

"We are in a very happy moment of our history…for the first time in a multi-centuries history, Romania is not one of Russia’s neighbors."
- President Emil Constatinescu (besides the absolute idiocy of such a declaration from a diplomatic point of view, the fact that Romania doesn’t have a multi-century history as the Romanian state came into existence less than 150 years ago seems to escape the logic of the Romanian president.)

"Private property is a caprice."
- Ion Iliescu (the Romanian president, an ex-communist trying to prove that Romania is a good place for foreign investors and putting his communist foot in his big mouth. The same president also said that "the best market economy is the one controlled by the state." His diplomatic skills were also revealed when he politely called a reporter "Yo, you animal."

"What, you’re taking pictures of me? You’d better take pictures of the moon!" (pointing at the setting sun). And “I only have enough food with me for two days.”
- President Yeltsin, declining an invitation of President Jiang Zeminto to extend his China visit.

In October 1994, on a flight back to Moscow from the USA, Mr Yeltsin failed to leave the plane at Shannon Airport for a scheduled meeting with the Irish president. After an embarrassing 15-minute wait, his aides emerged to apologise. "Sorry - he's ill", they said. "No I wasn't!" said a defiant Yeltsin when he returned to Moscow a few hours later. "They didn't wake me!"

"We will achieve this with every legitimate means - diplomacy, infiltration, skirmishes, major battles or total war."
- President Sukarno

"If the Americans announce that they have discovered such arms [i.e. weapons of mass destruction], they should offer evidence that the arms are really of Iraqi origin."
- President Jacques Chirac (apparently if they are of German, French or Russian origins they don't count as weapons of mass destruction.)

"China is a big country with a lot of Chinese people living there."
-Charles De Gaulle, former French President
