Harry Truman actually said...

"In putting in gas and electric lights, and fixtures and things in the house, the supporting timbers had been sawn through in places--taken wedges out of them."

"We are in the midst of our 4-yearly spasm of electing a President now, and you will hear a lot of hooey during that campaign."

"And when the smoke and dust is all blown away, the Republic will continue along as usual, and just as it always has."

"It is a responsibility which we will have to assume."
