Ronald Reagan
The President finally conceded his error. "I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages," he said. "My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true. But the facts and the evidence tell me it is not."

At the start, Reagan was full of defiance about the sale of U.S. missiles to Iran. That effort, obviously aimed at winning the release of American hostages in Lebanon, had been an embarrassing violation of his repeated pledges never / to negotiate with terrorist regimes, but Reagan simply denied it. "We did not -- repeat, did not -- trade weapons or anything else for hostages," he said. After a three-month investigation, however, a presidential review board headed by former Texas Senator John Tower found that the "initiative became in fact a series of arms-for-hostages deals."

Obviously, Reagan said many off the wall things.

You know, you can highlight and copy the text of the quote, and then paste it into a google search. You can find the quote on numerous sites that way.

Also if you are using Firefox, you can highlight the text of the quote and right click, and there is an option to "search google for [whatever is highlighted]".

in all of google's gazillions of books, only one hit- to a book of humorous quotes that was quite likely farmed out off the innernet. no dates, no sources, no nothin.

"absolute proof that smoking even one" - Google Books

you honestly think if he'd said something that ridiculous, some of the dozens upon dozens of books about him wouldn't have bothered to mention it even once?

And yet he managed to be the greatest president of the 20th century...

The man should be sainted.
