Catapult the propaganda
Oh dear. Seems the President did say something important here last week and I missed it entirely. Coverage around here was entirely about the pomp and circumstance. Meanwhile, His Imperial Excellency said something one might have expected to hear from Joseph Goebbels.
“See in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.”—George W. Bush

Actually, Herr Goebbels’ boss put it like this:
“But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.”—excerpt from Mein Kampf, by Adolph Hitler, (1925)
