America may be in a dour condition, but it is not going to elect a dour president.
Newt Gingrich never received more than 100,000 votes in his life. He'll never be president.
This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud; he sits upon the throne.
Nixon in 1968, unlike Obama 2008, was elected as a minority president with only 43 percent of the vote. Yet, in 1972, he won what, in some measures, was the most lopsided election in American history with 61 percent.
I did answer all of the questions put to me today, ... Nothing in my testimony in any way contradicted the strong denials that the president has made to these allegations, and since I have been asked to return and answer some additional questions, I think that it's best that I not answer any questions out here and reserve that to the grand jury.
The only Trump constant seems to be his unpredictability. America lives in a state of constant turmoil. There were those who thought maybe that would calm down when he became president, but what has happened is that the pressures of the presidency have actually exaggerated those tendencies.
Americans were told repeatedly by President Bush and Vice President Cheney that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. None were ever found.
Wow. Losing 95 percent of your audience in just five years. That basically makes Obama the NBC of presidents.
President Obama is determined that our foreign and national security policies not play into al-Qa'ida's strategy or its warped ideology. Al-Qa'ida seeks to terrorize us into retreating from the world stage. But President Obama has made it a priority to renew American leadership in the world, strengthening our alliances and deepening partnerships.
President Obama has made it clear that the United States is determined to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Dear Mr. President, can I ask you a question, when the bombs fall down will they hurt everyone in my family?
I guarantee you, as president of the United States, I know how to heal the wounds of war, I know how to deal with our adversaries, and I know how to deal with our friends.
Inexperience because of (President Barack) Obama's inexperience.Look that would be one of the challenges.
Look, President Clinton had opportunities to get Osama bin Laden. President Bush had opportunities to get Osama bin Laden. I know how to do it and I'll do it. And I understand and I have the knowledge and the background and the experience to make the right judgments. Sen. Obama does not. He was wrong on Iraq. He underestimated Iran. He has no knowledge or experience or judgment. That's - he doesn't know how - how the world works nor how the military works. I do and I can lead and I'll secure the peace.
My preference would be to remain in the Senate, ... But you can't say I would refuse to serve in one of those (Cabinet) capacities. It's not the same as vice president.
It is because I owe America more than she has ever owed me that I am a candidate for president to the United States.
As part of Social Security reform, I believe that private savings accounts are a part of it - along the lines that President Bush proposed.
I'm not President Bush
I have said for a long time that I thought the president would be best served if the attorney general resigned so I think it's the right thing to do.
I am not President Bush.
I've already heard from some military commanders who feel they've been undercut by the vice president of the United States, and there's a lot of justification for their view.
Now that we have the line-item veto there is no excuse for Congress to put pork in and no reason for the president not to line-item veto it out.
I have said many times in the past I don't choose to be vice president, either Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or vegetarian.
I asked that I not be considered for vice president of the United States.
Let me say that no one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.
