Harry S. Truman

President Harry S. Truman, referring to "that good fer nothin' [Republican] Eightieth Congress" pointedly asked his fellow countrymen the following, very pertinent question: "How many times do you have to get hit over the head before you realize that you're getting hit over the head?"

"I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."

- Harry S. Truman
