American Proverbs

We can walk and chew gum at the same time

Used by Paul Ryan: We can walk and chew gum at the same time

I think LBJ was the originator - this from the 1974 biography President Ford: the man and his record [Ford's] attitude inspired President Johnson to make the cutting but quotable comments that Ford had played too much football without a helmet and that he was unable to walk and chew gum at the same time.
