What do you think of this quote from Obama's Ingratiation speech? - Yahoo! Answers.
Although, as English Fails go, it is sheer inspired genius.
As for what I think of the quote - well, it's empty rhetoric and self-contradictory. I mean, read it and think what it actually means:
Really, it's the sort of bullshit you'd expect from a 27 year old working in Starbucks, not a professor of constitutional law

know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy
I think it means, as long as you do loads of good things, it doesn't actually matter if you also do lots of evil things. So, if, for example, you make the trains run on time or, say, mass produce the Volkswagen Beetle, what else you do, whatever you destroy, just fades into insignificance beside that what you have built.Really, it's the sort of bullshit you'd expect from a 27 year old working in Starbucks, not a professor of constitutional law
