The decision-making process in the White House does not let most issues get up to the President. The Council thought opening up global markets to derivatives that would destabilize other countries wasn't likely to create a lot of jobs in the U.S. and might adversely affect U.S. interests by causing global economic instability.
I want to be president because I have the sensitivity, as a woman, to listen. I'm a different candidate... different because I don't belong to powerful, privileged groups, because I'm honest.
I will be a president in a skirt, but I will wear the pants.
Would you phone the president of Ghana?
There is a lot of people just shaking their heads and wondering, what was really behind this meeting [of Donald Trump and Enrique Pena] as far as from the president of Mexico.
Donald Trump says, we talked about the wall, but we didn`t talk about who was going to pay for it, not in this meeting. President Pena Nieto doesn`t say or do anything.
I think one of the big questions for many [Bernie] Sanders supporters is, are [Hillary Clinton's] words and what's written in paper going to actually come to pass when she is elected president? That's, I think, the greatest worry for many Sanders supporters.
Fox News may be demolishing its more liberal cable news rivals in the ratings but to Democrats it's still the bogeyman. That's why President Obama took the opportunity to criticize the network during a speech defending his economic record at Northwestern University today. But in doing so, the president not only demonstrated the weakness of his position but also why he doesn't understand Fox's appeal.
American friends of Israel as well as those who understand the grave threat that Iran poses to U.S. interests and security need to face the fact that this president has abandoned them.
The trouble with ghostwriting is that it raises the issue of whether the president is in a state of diminished responsibility for what he says. Does he actually grasp the implications of the words he speaks?
No president has come near to rivaling Lincoln as a writer.
The president hasn't come after me yet, but we've had other people come after me!
I think that President Obama is beginning to realize that a lot of his plans have backfired.
President Obama still places far too much emphasis on relentless testing with standardized exams.
A lot of the things that Trump needs to do to be a popular president requires annoying his biggest fans.
I think as - all in all, it's better to have a cool president than a not cool president.
Liberals and leftists have been dismissing inconvenient facts by attacking motives for generations. In the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, Soviet spies and abettors attacked the motives of their accusers because the fact of their guilt was undeniable. In the 1960s, over a thousand psychiatrists who'd never even met Barry Goldwater signed a petition saying the GOP candidate was too mentally unstable to be president.
I could never wrap my head around why the world and the President that Republicans describe bears so little resemblance to the world and the President that I experience. And now I know why. There is a President Obama that only Republicans can see.
President Bush remained undeterred by the massive display of American opposition, even though much of it came from the hundreds of thousands of voters who supported him by voting for Nader.
President Bush delivered his first State of the Union address, riding high on an 82-percent approval rating, and with Attorney General John Ashcroft dispatching agents to interview the other 18 percent.
Bush's popularity is at 40% in South America? He could be their president!
If there was one lesson to be drawn from Bush's appearance (on 'Meet the Press') it's that he doesn't have to be forthcoming or honest. And he's the first to tell you why. (Bush:) 'I'm a war president.' He added: 'I guess I should have told you that back in 2000.'
Here's the way I look at it. President Bush has uranium-tipped bunker busters and I have puns. I think he'll be OK.
The President says, "We are in the fight for a way of life. This is the greatest battle of our generation, and of the generations to come."
[If President Bush is right about democracy in Iraq] I may, and I don't know if I can physically do this, implode.
