The President is the last person in the world to know what the people really want and think.

James A. Garfield

A woman will be elected President before Wade Boggs is called out on strikes. I guarantee that.

George Brett

The President seems to extend executive privilege way out past the atmosphere. What he says is executive privilege is nothing but executive poppycock.

Sam Ervin

It was as simple as this: The Kennedys had a feeling of being heightened and it rubbed off on the people who came in contact with them. They were a unit.

Charles Spalding

President Bush left for Canada today to attend a trade summit. Reportedly, the trade summit got off to an awkward start when the president pulled out his baseball cards.

Conan O'brien

Frankly, I don't mind not being President. I just mind that someone else is.

Edward M. Kennedy

This could truly be a defining moment for his presidency or, depending on what he does, empty promises.

Karen Wayland

It's been the least successful year of his presidency.

Stephen Wayne

In my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of, or more frightened by my leadership in Washington, including the presidency, or the Senate.

Harry Taylor

I've never seen the president burdened by the presidency. He's built to deal with really big events. It's in his DNA.

Mark Mckinnon

I think I've heard that one before. But it comes down to the person. Anybody can deliver the line. The question is: Can you compartmentalize these issues so they don't consume you? And I think Bush's job is more difficult than Clinton's because the questions here go right to the heart of the presidency.

Mark Fabiani

I told the caller that first they should let me know who had instructed for my presence in the meeting. Was it the Presidency or the Board?

Javed Miandad

I think he might well decide that the end of the G-8 presidency is the time to go. I don't think he would want to go in the middle of it.

Jeremy Corbyn

I will regain the presidency by way of the constitution, the truth and popular support.

Lucio Gutierrez

Nothing he has done throughout his presidency has drawn more fire from conservatives.

Ron Brownstein

If the French vote 'no,' most analysts believe it would destroy any possibility of Chirac standing again for the presidency in 2007.

Robin Oakley

This is the biggest revolt Bush has faced and it comes on the issue that has been the core and heart of his presidency, namely security.

David Birdsell

I believe there is a moment of sorrow in the country. We join with that sorrow from the presidency.

Tony Saca

The issue of the presidency should be done with. It must be rescued from its current state.

Samir Geagea

Prince William's enthusiasm for football both as a player and a fan is well known and we believe his presidency will prove a great asset to the national sport.

Geoff Thompson

The presidency should show objectivity and bear in mind the collective interests of all its members, of the EU, and not a special interest which it itself has.

Kypros Chrysostomides

If Karl Rove were indicted, that would be like George W. Bush losing his right arm at a time when he needs every limb he's got to climb out of the hole he's in and to rebuild his presidency.

David R. Gergen

Not only did he regularly order criminal activity, lie to grand juries, stonewall the grand jury, abuse the CIA, the FBI and the IRS, it was almost as if Nixon was using the presidency as an instrument of personal revenge. Screw so-and-so who was against Nixon.

Bob Woodward

When you're giving a tour of the Oval Office, you're trying to point to things that emphasize what you're trying to do. For him, the optimism is very symbolic of what he wants his presidency to be about.

Nicolle Wallace

You can't win the presidency if you don't carry Florida. That gives us a leg up.

Al Austin

The presidency, whoever is in it, has real advantages in the struggle, but we may see that the Congress finally believes that the Bush administration has gone too far.

John Samples

The most challenging of his presidency, but not that unusual from a historical perspective.

Whit Ayres

I'm very happy that the president of Liberia has come here, underlying the importance I attach to developing ties with Africa during my presidency this year.

Moritz Leuenberger

Republicans are spending at a rate not seen since Lyndon Johnson's presidency, ... They're legislating as if deficits don't matter.

Pete Sepp

The best America is a nation where the son of Greek immigrants, with your help, can seek and win the presidency of the United States.

Michael Dukakis

This is a shot to the solar plexus of George Bush's agenda. The ripples go out in so many different directions, to so many different areas of policy, domestic and foreign. It's second only to 9/11 in its impact on the course of the presidency.

William Galston

[Several analysts also said the episode had greatly increased Lopez Obrador's chances of winning the presidency by expanding his support beyond Mexico City.] He's really built a national social movement, ... Fox has been a great campaign manager for him.

Lorenzo Meyer

During the years of my presidency I lived a tough and difficult life ... I tried to be honest and fair, helped the talented and those in need.

Alexander Lukashenko

I think it's fair to say that over the course of the Bush presidency, if Dick Cheney had had his way, there would have been much less attention paid to him than there has been. That's the exact opposite of what vice presidents historically have had to deal with.

Rome Hartman

Every presidency has a main theme, a central purpose, ... Different presidents have different strengths.

Richard Freeland

PRESIDENCY, n. The greased pig in the field game of American politics.

Ambrose Bierce

It's an important event. It's one of those moments in his presidency that people want to remember well and he has to give them an opportunity to do so.

Larry Sabato

He is a strong president ... but he has never really focused on the importance of good execution. I think that is true in many parts of his presidency.

William Kristol

I see no sign that the campaign is anything more than a holding action in the hopes that she gets the vice presidency.

Stu Rothenberg

It was a sterile presidency.

Claude Moise

We are failing as a country because our structures have broken down. We have left everything to the presidency and we have caused our people to zero in on what is at State House.

Florence Mumba

The Eisenhower presidency was much like an iceberg _ so much of it was below the surface that we didn't know the extent of it. He was the grandfather up front but he was the CEO behind the scenes.

David Guth

We know that (Bush) is not very popular in our state. But I think Chris has been loyal to the presidency and this is the president's reward to Chris.

Diane Farrell

The resignation of Gloria is the solution to the crisis, not emergency powers to the usurper of the presidency.

Aquilino Pimentel

It will be a UARC presidency. His decision yesterday shows he's willing to go against the majority of the university.

Ikaika Hussey

Beguiled by George S. Bush's easy smile and casual indifference to the details, we are on the brink of electing him to office. This isn't choosing a president, it's casting the lead in a sitcom about the presidency.

Roger Ebert

Three years ago, the presidency was his to lose.

Paul Ashley

Those numbers are stronger than they were two weeks ago. A majority of people believe it was close, but Bush is ahead, and he is likely to win the presidency.

Bill Mcinturff

Whoever is elected to Congress and the presidency is going to have a satchel full of political IOUs to deliver on.

Larry Makinson

As to the presidency, the two happiest days of my life were those of my entrance upon the office and my surrender of it.

Martin Van Buren

The heads of political blocs will meet on Saturday to discuss the presidency, prime minister and speaker posts.

Abbas Bayati

Most Mexicans think he is well-intentioned. It's not that this presidency has been bad; it's been very mediocre, frivolous. Many Mexicans' attitude is one of resignation.

Sergio Aguayo

It is impossible to win the presidency of the United States without winning Florida and it would behoove the parties to be sure their nominee is palatable in Florida.

Rep. Marco Rubio

I'm expecting an almost daily crisis, or a daily debate between the presidency, on one hand, and the Palestinian Cabinet on the other hand.

Wadia Abu Nasser

The German presidency will not seek a solution at the expense of weaker members during these difficult negotiations.

Joschka Fischer

This could be a defining moment for his presidency, or it could be empty rhetoric.

Karen Wayland

Here's what we do know: Polls are driving President Bush's court picks. At a low ebb in his presidency, the president has passed over well-known, if controversial, constitutionalists and chosen a sphinx-like presidential pal.

Mark Moller

Arrogance of Power Reborn: The Imperial Presidency and Foreign Policy in the Clinton Years .

Cato Institute

(He) kind of made a face as if, the presidency of the United States -- it's me!

Wayne Slater

Let the count begin not just of the votes not counted in Miami Dade, but as the court so wisely ruled, of the undercounts in every county. Then every American will know with certainty who has won the presidency.

Bill Daley

Not too many things have happened (on the budget during the British presidency), ... We had one bilateral meeting on the budget, on the future financial perspectives, in July, and this was low level.

Jaroslaw Pietras

The presidency needs to show impartiality and bear in mind the collective interests of the EU and not the interests i t has by securing the opening of accession talks between Turkey and the EU.

Kypros Chrysostomides

He kept the place going while President Graham in particular pursued the additional ends of those involved in the presidency.

John Sanders

We are at a defining point in the Bush presidency, and all indications are that we are headed for a calamitous result and most likely failure.

Doug Schoen

Our country, which holds the G8 presidency in 2006, will make its contribution to global efforts to combat bird flu.

Gennady Onishchenko

When a presidency has been turned around, particularly the modern presidency, there's often an outside element.

Fred Greenstein

I seek the presidency with no illusions.

Ted Kennedy

He could even put himself forward for the presidency, not with any hope of winning, but with the certainty of placing a serious handicap on Nicolas Sarkozy.

Alain Duhamel

I think he [Tony Blair] might well decide that the end of the G8 presidency (at the end of 2005) is the time to go. I don't think he would want to go in the middle of it.

Jeremy Corbyn

I began by telling the president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency and that if the cancer was not removed the president himself would be killed by it.

John Dean

I sometimes think about how he became president. Like, about how him leading the war led to the presidency.

Sean Johnson

Anybody who wants the presidency so much that he'll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office.

David Broder

I have to say we were thrilled to hear him finally admit we have an oil-addiction problem. Depending on what he does, this could be a defining moment of his presidency. Or it could be rhetoric.

Karen Wayland

For the first term of his presidency, the Bush administration had a long list of complaints about Syria that got longer after Iraq.

Flynt Leverett

Okay Ed, will he be haunted to the last day of his presidency?

Chris Matthews

We wish to caution against actions that have the effect of breaking our country's laws, undermining the work of security agencies, and denigrating the offices of institutions of our democracy, including The Presidency.

Joel Netshitenzhe

That's why pragmatism is such a central ingredient of an effective presidency. If you're not pragmatic, not responsive to changing realities, then you don't succeed.

Robert Dallek

Twilight of the imperial presidency.

Arthur Schlesinger

Lowering the bar creates a novel theory of impeachment, ... It would permanently weaken the presidency.

Abbe Lowell

The life and legacy of Ronald Reagan so shifted the paradigm of the American Presidency and the character of our nation that it becomes easy to overlook some of the smaller, more personal changes he brought to his office.

John Kline

This is not a race for prom king, this is a race for the presidency.

Chris Lehane

I reached a situation in which I cannot conduct the presidency.

Moo hyum Roh

In terms of defining this presidency, the next several months are critical.

David Winston

This begins to demystify the presidency, and I'm not sure that's all bad.

Robert H. Bork

Anybody who thinks we can achieve all we set out to achieve in the first three months of our six months presidency is either an optimist or naive, ... judge us at the end of the presidency.

Jonathan Allen

Will George Bush be haunted by New Orleans to the last day of his presidency?

Chris Matthews

We revere the presidency. Any innuendo or any kind of impulse that anyone has to attribute any kind of motivation on the part of these men of honor who have prepared this case for you today on any whim on their part other than to do their constitutional duty should be rebuffed at every conversation.

George Gekas

The best thing about Eisenhower's Presidency was his Jeffersonian conviction that there should be as little government and as much golf as possible.

Alister Cooke

No man could be equipped for the presidency if he has never been tempted by one of the seven cardinal sins.

Eugene J. Mccarthy

I think these unforeseen turns of events took a lot on the presidency at the expense of his other agenda.

Endy Bayuni

She was following in the tradition of the first lady displaying this kind of elegance as a statement about the power of the presidency.

Edith Mayo

The Speaker of the House of Rwanda is usually the position that moves into the presidency.

Zachary Jeremiah
