The President and Vice-President have been consistent alright-consistently wrong. There is no value in that.

Senator Patrick Leahy

At a time when these controversial issues need a leader who can find common ground, the president could not have chosen a more divisive nominee.

Philip Clapp

The chiefs are in support of the president, and they do not approve of what Speight has done, although there is sympathy for the views expressed by his followers.

Sitiveni Rabuka

I will be a president of all Bulgarians irrespective of their ethnicity, religion or political affiliations.

Georgi Parvanov

Since everyone in ex-com was appointed by the president, you feel more comfortable telling them to take over their duties.

Scott Alberts

The job of mayor and Governor is becoming more and more like the job of university president, which I used to be; it looks like you are in charge, but you are not.

Lamar Alexander

He operated on the echo principle: He told the president what he wanted to hear.

David A. Stockman

He didn't do anything to become president!, ... Well, thank God for Karl and Dick.

Terry Gilliam

(My) relief is tempered by the fact our colleague ... remains in prison. I hope that President Milosevic will see fit to exercise the same humanity he has exercised for us in granting clemency.

Peter Wallace

The search for truth is not yet over, the President and her allies will be haunted by the accusations ... it will hound her wherever she may go.

Francis Escudero

The diseased portion of the intestine was successfully removed. It is anticipated that President Hinckley will recover rapidly and resume his normal duties.

Dale Bills

This confirmation is also a victory for the nominee, President Bush, and, most of all, the U.S. Senate. Finally, it is a victory for the U.S. Supreme Court which will be led into the 21st century by a brilliant, principled Chief Justice.

Spencer Abraham

President Bush has dug in his heels on a fight he surely cannot win. The deal will ... be aborted.

Frank Gaffney

We are concerned about the inability thus far of Bolivia's new president to articulate whether or not he will allow coca eradication and U.S. counter-narcotics assistance to continue.

Anne Patterson

That's one of the predominant reasons President Bush signed this into law was to conserve energy. So if it is conserving energy everywhere else, it will also have an impact here.

John Hopkins

This is one of the greatest challenges facing this particular president. This is the beginning of a major effort by the White House. Everybody has to chip in. This is a major offensive in which the media plays a big role.

Marvin Kalb

And the health of foreign leaders is of great interest to the president.

Dino Brugioni

We focus on their early lives together. We're the only place that focuses on both the Clintons instead of just President Clinton, which is what hope is focused on and the presidential library is focused on.

Joseph Barnes

The authorized representative of the President of the Philippines.

Norberto Gonzales

It's intimidating to play the nominee for president. The little kid inside you says, 'I'm not enough.' I would guess that happens to politicians, too. They go, 'C'mon, who am I kidding? I'm just this guy or this woman,'.

Tom Selleck

It is unfortunate that this need for additional sacrifices comes at the time when the credibility of the country's political leadership is at its lowest ebb. I am afraid President Arroyo will find extreme difficulty in her efforts to convince the people to make further sacrifices given her already worn-out credibility and popularity.

Franklin Drilon

These folks know the president very well. They get along terrific. They understand each other, and they're loyal to each other. As long as you're organized, disciplined, well-managed, they'll survive.

Ron Kaufman

The practical result of the court's decision is that the president and all other government officials will be less likely to receive full and frank advice about their official obligations and duties from government attorneys.

Charles Ruff

During the electoral campaign I felt the enthusiasm. This is my third campaign, my second running for president, and this was the most enthusiastic.

Rene Preval

These are desperate days for the Bush campaign with the president's job approval in the danger zone. They are desperately using the politics of fear to try and distract from President Bush's failed record on the economy and Iraq.

Chad Clanton

One hundred percent of the time, no plea bargain, no bail, you're going to the penitentiary -- that will change the atmosphere in this culture of violence the president talks about.

Wayne Lapierre

President Bush had said he wants to support the 1,800 [troops] who've died by continuing the war until we win.

Rosemary Palmer

We're asking everybody to be patient and wait a couple of days. By Saturday, we will know, more or less, if we'll have a president elected in the first round.

Jacques Bernard

This is a full-scale assault on middle-class homeowners, and we need even at this early moment to indicate to the president that we'll bear any burden to defend against it. We ought to take a look at the lavish [tax] giveaways we give to huge corporate interests.

Steve Israel

It has to be looked at in the context of whether this interim agreement is a valuable agreement and if releasing Pollard ... contributes to it. That's a presidential decision. That's why the president makes the big bucks.

James Woolsey

Ignore it. No answer is necessary, Your Excellency. The president does not know his place.

Atsuko Abe

I was out there about six weeks ago, and the president of the company was just as enthusiastic.

Bill Collins

I think they may be playing it for all it's worth. If he's trying to get back on a bipartisan track, what better way than to pick a fight with the president?

Bruce Cain

They're learning what it means to be president of the United States because their plans and their campaigns just got wiped off the front pages. And neither one of them better get caught playing politics with these issues.

Jim Duffy

I felt there was a sense of hope about the new president, and her ability to rebuild for them things they haven't had in such a long time.

Judy Elkins

Americans may rally around a president when he sends troops to war but not when he sends them the bill.

Keating Holland

Definitely, without a doubt, the president of the IFP knew of all these things.

Mangosuthu Buthelezi

Having Congress or having other people call for him to be fired or call for him to resign would not be productive. That's something really only the president should decide.

Martha Rainville

It would have been confined to the vice-president. By not telling anyone for 24 hours, it made it a White House story. It becomes a story about the White House handling of it.

Marlin Fitzwater

As president of Argentina, I repeat we are fully convinced of the legitimacy of out historical rights.

Carlos Menem

While President Bush was coming down, he looked at me, waved, winked, and then continued down the steps.

Anjana Chandran

The president wanted an open and honest discussion .... the full transcript will be made available.

Rahm Emanuel

The president only has so much influence over the economy and legislation.

Angel Mata

Vice President Cheney broke the law.

Larry Klayman

There was a consensus for more spending for the military; it was just a question of how much. You could say the President got more [extra spending] in part because of the political climate after Sept. 11, but [that's] speculative...

Richard Kogan

The greatest hindrance Southeast Texas has had is the administration, the president.

Mark Viator

I heard the rumors about the president coming to Golden. We can't confirm if he is coming or when, because we honestly don't know.

Jordan Stoick

There is nothing to worry about because when the president gets to Islamabad, it will be like a neutron bomb, in that there will be buildings but no people.

Marvin Weinbaum

This is going to be an opportunity for the president to lay out his initiatives in more detail.

Blair Jones

Reagan is more powerful today than when he was president.

Martin Anderson

This is yet another issue where Bush has done nothing in Texas, but expects us to believe he'll be leader as president.

Douglas Hattaway

Bill Bradley has been on a sustained drive, blowing past Vice President Gore.

Maurice Carroll

That decision which the president took was very correct.

Viktor Yanukovych

This president failed to tell the American people what he knew about the consequences of military victory in Iraq.

Bob Graham

Obviously if they're sending people out of Louisiana, I don't know why we would be going in, ... Our president (John Peterson) will not allow that to happen, I'm sure the conference office will be on the same page and (Athletic Director) Mike Hamilton is certainly on the same page.

Phillip Fulmer

We appear to be heading out of BRACC with quite a few more aircraft and people that we had heading into it. If approved by the president and Congress, this can only be viewed as an expansion of the missions to be conducted out of the new joint base in the future.

James Saxton

A time honored part of American tradition and the president fully understands it. It's the strength of our democracy.

Ari Fleischer

We are grateful to Congress and the president for enacting this legislation without further delay.

Richard Doerflinger

John Russell, (president) of Russell Development Inc. has been instrumental in making the move downtown.

James Bean

Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.

Dan Quayle

You don't need to know who's playing on the White House tennis court to be a good president.

D. James Baker

If the President cannot convey this message during his visit, it would be better for him to cancel. There is no use visiting Myanmar without this message.

Djoko Susilo

For the moment, all I can say is that I'm greatly encouraged by what the president has told me, greatly encouraged by his far-seeing attitude, his humanitarianism, his sense of dedication and purpose.

Jamsheed Marker

The president admits that there should be a meeting between us to discuss pertinent issues on the constitution and the way forward.

Raila Odinga

We're here to support our troops, our president, and the mission. Nothing in life is easy and this is an example of that. We had Clinton for president for 8 years and he had the same intelligence and it took somebody with some guts to act on it. That's what President Bush did and we're here to support him.

Jim Ballard

For Congress and the president, because they have had to make so much money to get elected, their options to implement reform are limited and probably not politically feasible.

Larry Makinson

The position of president and chief executive officer for Churchill Downs Incorporated is one of vital importance to both our company and the horse industry.

Carl Pollard

The position of attorney general is of extreme importance, ... The attorney general needs the full confidence of the president, and needs the full confidence and trust of the American people.

Senator Patrick Leahy

Instead of focusing on electing a president in 2008, this commission appears to be heading down a precipitous path. If you have all theses caucuses front-loaded, Democrats will end up with a nominee by the middle of January.

Kathleen Sullivan

President Bush has made this declaration so Tennessee can get back on their feet and go on with their lives as quickly as possible.

Joe Allbaugh

At issue is whether the president can supersede established civilian and military judicial systems.

Neal Katyal

For a president who came from the oil business and who still has many friends and backers in the industry, putting this initiative at the top of his agenda took some guts.

John Dickerson

I will then proceed to exercise the invitation granted to me by the president of Nigeria.

Charles Taylor

I was told that the President had not yet signed off on going to war. Nothing was irrevocable.

Sir Christopher Meyer

The assistant vice president for Iowa State responsible for those issues was aware of that and agreed that that was appropriate because of diversity is very much a consideration.

John Mccarroll

The President sends us a billion-page paper that shows how he would spend the money if he were spending the money. He doesn't have the authority to spend the money. He doesn't spend $1 of the money.

Michael Enzi

This goes all the way to the top, including the vice-president and the minister of finance, so we consider it an extremely serious matter. The president should call fresh elections so the people can elect a government they trust in the task of eliminating corruption.

Mutula Kilonzo

We have as much work as we can handle. We're doing well under this president.

Dale Stump

I even had a dream (last night) that I was again meeting the president.

Boniface Kiprop

Since the referendum on the EU constitution, Chirac has been in a much weakened position, and it has become obvious he is not really in the running for another term as president.

Bruno Jeanbart

Once a president gets to the White House, the only audience that is left that really matters is history.

Doris Kearns Goodwin

But what about the people, Mr. President?

Terry Moran

The president said he wants to leave no child behind. In this budget he'll end up leaving millions of children behind. Those children don't even know that this vote we have today is going to seal up their future.

Patrick Kennedy

It was racist and offensive because it takes the president of China and connects him to the stereotype of a cook in a Chinese restaurant.

Margaret Fung

My dad was president of the Finlandia Foundation for a number of years and there was a period of time when he tried to get me in. I'm glad I finally got in.

Jorma Kaukonen

I can't imagine drastic reductions. The president made this one of his priorities. Not only will some of the traditional Hill supporters oppose drastic reductions, but (so would) the president himself.

Dave Weldon

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

This president is losing his capacity to get a major domestic accomplishment because he is unwilling to put any portion of the tax cuts for the highest-income Americans on the table.

Stan Collender

I was honored to have the opportunity to meet with President Museveni and continue our great friendship. We had an open and productive exchange of ideas and I am grateful for the leading role that President Museveni has assumed with the worldwide effort to combat HIV/AIDS.

Christopher Smith

Not to scare the people, but it is true that there is an assassination plot against the president.

Michael Defensor

The EOP (Executive Office of the President) shall produce all relevant e-mails to the plaintiffs within 20 days of this date.

Royce Lamberth

[During the Gulf War, in early 1991, the news coverage was so laudatory that a former media strategist for President Reagan was ecstatic.] If you were going to hire a public relations firm to do the media relations for an international event, ... it couldn't be done any better than this is being done.

Michael Deaver

Unless the president can stop the political rhetoric on both sides, we will not get to conference committee.

Kevin Appleby

It's helpful for a member to be able to embrace a president. If not, they're very much alone.

Ross Baker

He serves at the pleasure of the president.

Brian Turmail

The president should be worried. With 55 percent, if there's is a margin of error of 4 percent, he could actually have only 51 percent.

Horacio Serpa

Given her lack of (judicial) experience, does anyone doubt that Ms. Miers' only qualification to be a Supreme Court justice is her close connection to the president?

Randy Barnett

These are the desperate acts of a desperate president who is going to try and drag this country through a cultural war to jump-start a failing campaign.

Cheryl Jacques

We're definitely hoping that the president will make mention of the success of adult stem-cell research.

Lanier Swann

The president is being very aggressive in talking about the economy. He talks about it a lot more than the media report.

Claire Buchan

I would have been surprised had a former president, who lives in the hometown of a Republican candidate, come out and endorsed anyone else, ... I feel I have been supportive of President Bush's son and certainly have been with regard to Iraq.

Nick Lampson

From our side of the fence, people are very supportive of the president.

Bob Jackson

What Sandy did as ABA president is still being felt around the world. We owe Sandy a great debt of gratitude for showing that leadership.

Michael Greco

It's not clear whether we have a president or not.

Alexander Lebed

The president hasn't notified the Congress that American troops are operating inside Iran. So it's a very serious question about the constitutional framework under which we are now conducting military operations in Iran.

Sam Gardiner

It's an attempt to get her core fund-raising base energized and prepared for what will be a very serious attack to stop her from being president.

Hank Sheinkopf

You're talking about a coach who was president of the (National Association of Basketball Coaches) and head of the ethics committee. I don't think any of the allegations that have been made have to do with moral turpitude. It has more to do with rules interpretations.

Pat Shoulders

Mr. President, ... what do you say to someone in this country who has lost his job to someone overseas who's being paid a fraction of what that job paid here in the United States?

Bob Schieffer

Bush gets it. He's open to gays and lesbians, and his vision is the most important thing. We are not electing the platform to be our next president. George W. Bush is going to be the one making the decisions, and implementing what he believes.

Carl Schmid

Bush is the most partisan president in modern American history. As a result, voters in both parties are focusing on him, rather than on the specifics of the policies.

William Galston

[Under the proposal] Ms Arroyo is at the same time president and one who consolidates the powers of prime minister in her hands, which includes the power to dissolve parliament.

Carol Araullo

No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Alan Turing

I defended this country as a young man, and I will defend it as president.

John Kerry

This is not an example of a president repealing a provision of a law that Congress has enacted ... but exercising a discretionary authority that Congress has given him.

Seth Waxman

The two people who know the most about this are Monica Lewinsky and President William Jefferson Clinton.

Bill Mccollum

Make sure of your target and what is beyond. It applies to the vice president and everyone on down.

Richard Pearson

I think he [Archie Bunker] is in every man my age, no matter what he does, whether he's a vice president at Chase or a cab driver.

Carroll O'connor

The president is always somewhere on the horizon in any midterm election, and in this one it might very well be more than the usual referendum on the president. Bush could be a heavy shadow in this election.

Mickey Edwards

[Laura Lewis, PTA president of Menifee Elementary, said her main worries are the surrounding developments that will bring an influx of new people.] We're bursting out of the seams, ... The question is where we're going to put all these kids.

Laura Lewis

He is a good person, personally chosen by the president. I am sure he will work the line as put down by the president.

Salim Said

The silence of the president and the government on, for example farm murders, leads a lot of people to come to the conclusion that these issues are not a priority for the government.

Pieter Mulder

We destroyed the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and Allah ordered us to... punish everyone who stands alongside (US President George W.) Bush.

Al qaeda

Of course the host of the summit will be the president and in our opinion (the host) should have been the president of the African Union too.

Amr Moussa

I don't think it's a secret. I don't think the president is comfortable traveling.

Kurt Campbell

President Chen made it very clear today that he's serious about the plan. That's very bad indeed, and phone calls just arrived in droves (from clients) asking to unwind their positions.

Oliver Fang

It has changed the perception of the public. She's what the opposition has said she was, an illegitimate president, dictatorial.

Tony Gatmaitan

[In addition to the president,] there were about 250 native leaders from all over North and South America, ... Even without the president there, it was pretty awesome.

Kay Henderson

The vision of this, when the president signed off on this, was that when you are granted an ID card at one agency, then that same ID card would work at another agency -- that you won't need 10 to 15 ID cards to get into different buildings.

Karen Evans

The president is the last one to board this moving train but it's important that he is willing to carry (the agreement) across the finish line.

Adam Sharp

We stand a chance of getting a president who has probably killed more people before he gets into office than any president in the history of the United States.

Susan Sarandon

We had a convicted felon as the president. ... And no organization.

Felix Sabates

Three months of sustained job creation shows that President Bush's agenda is helping our economy grow.

Donald Evans

No one in the world supports the blockade except for President Bush , his regime and the extremist and violent groups in Miami.

Felipe Perez Roque

That's the way we talk, ... What the hell, they caught the president talking like that a couple of times.

Freddy Fender

Someday when historians record the decline of the American steel industry, President Bush will have the infamous distinction of contributing to the decimation of our industry and the loss of American jobs.

Mark Glyptis

The president does not regret one word of his interview with Le Monde, which is very clear.

Jonathan Faull

I think most people... would be glad to pay the same taxes they paid when Bill Clinton was president, if only they could have the same economy they had when Bill Clinton was president.

Howard Dean

It's a fallacy that the president only wants to hear from you if you agree.

Christine Todd Whitman

When I ask my Liberal friends why they loathe President Bush so deeply (not his policies or his politics, but the man himself), I am often told by them that Conservatives 'started it' by loathing Bill Clinton.

Pat Sajak

We are thankful to hear the intent of the Administration of President Bush to extend the humanitarian program TPS soon to expire for thousands of Central Americans.

Jose Lagos

Any suggestion by the Office of Independent Counsel or its public relations advisor that the president should do otherwise is reckless and irresponsible.

Charles Ruff

The president ... wants me to focus on the security questions and I will be doing that.

Dennis Ross

Mr. President, please reject the Left's current efforts to influence your selection. Your political enemies wish you ill.

Mark Levin

We now have the Senate of the largest state in the nation endorsing marriage equality. This undermines President Bush's claim that this effort is being undertaken by a few activist judges.

Geoffrey Kors

She ran for president twice. She ran for president in 1884 and then she ran again in 1888.

Keith Greene

So the vice president of sales or marketing will often become key to the decision to use hosted or in-house CRM. Usually, hosted is chosen when a very fast marketing solution is needed.

Robert Boise

Clinton had to prove to the American people that he wasn't the same as the Democrats that they'd been voting against for president. That he wasn't the same as Michael Dukakis, wasn't the same as Walter Mondale, wasn't the same as Jimmy Carter.

Jerry Crawford

(President) Kennedy didn't send us to space because it was neat, but to flex our technological muscles.

Donna Shirley

When an indictment is delivered at the front door of the White House, the Office of the President is defiled. No citizen can take pleasure from that.

Christopher Wolf

That's the kind of skill that you want in a president. It also gives the candidate a chance to talk about their plans.

Scott Alberts

[UP President John Griffin described the turn of events as] disturbing news. ... set out to get.

John Griffin

The state is basically indicating we're probably not going to be able to meet that threshold to ask them to ask the president for a disaster declaration to trigger the individual assistance programs.

Gary Vickers

I don't know of any president of any corporation in the western world that has locked out his employees five times in the last five years.

Brian Morrison

The president is encouraged and believes this is a step in the right direction. It will go a long way towards the regeneration of the continent.

Bheki Khumalo

I had hoped to hear the President tonight tell the Congress and the American people exactly how he plans to tackle some of the important issues facing this country, unfortunately I did not.

Frank Lautenberg

The president believes very strongly that this is going to have a major, major impact on economic growth and economic growth in the short run, which is so important to creating those jobs where people will come back to New Orleans, southern Mississippi and southern Alabama.

Al Hubbard

People are ... particularly risk-averse in bad times. It would be much easier, ironically, to elect a woman president when the economy is good and we weren't at war.

Celinda Lake

The people who are listening at the moment are those who are part of the central administration, ... President McCormick has arranged it so that the alternative proposals are posted on the task force's homepage.

Barry Qualls

The president appoints the judges. Your lives and your children's lives can change by all of these appellate court judges who will be appointed who will reinterpret laws, and things can change.

Johnnie Cochran

I want to say to the president elect of Chile, we're going to be a firm and constructive opposition. It's a promise to our country.

Sebastian Pinera

Way before it was popular, he said that I could go far in this business. He kept saying I'd be president and then I said I'd be state president. He encouraged me, and I never thought that I, a little boy from Brooklyn, New York, could do those things. Mel was always ahead of the curve.

Bob Kinniebrew

He knows that if he decides to run for president and qualifies that he has to be above his priestly duties, but he has not done that.

Bill Quigley

[The president has been on vacation] almost a year now, ... but Sheehan says she can never enjoy another vacation.

Amy Goodman

The president is a good man. But you've got to wonder how well served he is.

Jim Frazier

There are many theories, some extreme, about what happened to the president, ... If we can put to rest some of the wilder conspiracy theories, I think it's healthy to do so.

Robert Grossman

The medical personnel's office is located where the president walks past it on his way to and from the Oval Office, ... So they see the president. They see if he looks well. They see if he seems tired, or looks tired.

Robert Gilbert

In President Reagan's case, it's possible that the disease would have had an earlier onset if he had not had such an active lifestyle.

Robert Friedland

I was trying to tell the commission that the issue had not been really defined well enough to be ready for the president.

Donald T. Regan

The president is destroying the fabric of America with a combined policy of war, tax cuts for the wealthy and reductions in spending for domestic needs.

Charles Rangel

I was asked to be president of the Halton Peel Canadian Club and I didn't have a reason to say no.

Barry Wylie

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

John Sanders

This is a lot of very harsh sounding words that have very little bite. But there is a sense what the government of Israel plans to do once there is a cabinet. It's a flashing red light to the Palestinians and [Palestinian President Mahmoud] Abbas regarding the formation of the government.

Gershon Baskin

In the name of participatory democracy, President George W. Bush's Arab reform policies are actively enfranchising radical Islamist parties with armed militias: in Iraq, where they form the government; in Lebanon, where Hezbollah now holds government ministries; and now, potentially, in Palestine.

Yossi Alpher

Marks the first significant step forward in a campaign for president by John McCain.

Warren Rudman

[At the meeting,] we also discussed the possibility of a meeting between Prime Minister Sharon and President (Pervez) Musharraf. This has not been decided, we will know in the coming days if it will happen, ... But even if it doesn't happen, I think the relations with Pakistan have moved to a much higher level.

Silvan Shalom

There is no deal. The proposal to bury Ferdinand Marcos is a matter of serious policy issue that only the President [Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo] can decide.

Raul Gonzalez

But the visit of President Bush has been, in my view, a success and it has been a good visit.

Brajesh Mishra

The Republicans would lose the cover they have from the President being on board. They'd have to fashion a budget resolution on their own.

Robert Reischauer

The president has made a commitment to rebuild and we need to fulfill that commitment, ... We cannot be an absent partner, or one who reneges, especially since the federal government failed miserably in taking action when the hurricane first hit.

Sander Levin

Roth is an excellent fit for Prodigy president and CEO, given his strong consumer services background.

Charles Foster

I hope not to have to vote a second time, and I would like my compatriots to choose who will be president today.

Stanislaw Dziwisz

I'm glad Reagan is president. Of course, I'm a professional comedian.

Will Durst

We feel like we're in a good position in this debate ... because the president knows what he thinks, why he thinks the way that he does, what he wants to do in the future, where he wants to lead the nation, and that stands in stark contrast to his opponent.

Mary Matalin

We-Lyn Shaw, Norgie Hester and myself-went to see the inauguration the year George Bush was sworn in as president in 1989.

Shirley Leinwand

You know, this President invaded a sovereign nation in defiance of the UN. He is basically a war criminal. Honestly. He should be tried at The Hague.

Rosie O'donnell

You may have mistaken this for your meeting of the ignorant tight-asses club but in this building, when the President stands, nobody sits.

Martin Sheen

The administration dug its heels in; it wasn't going to change. President Levin was really marvelous to be able to change his mind like that in public. I am sure there were other administrators who didn't want him to do it.

Vincent Scully

Who would have said, 10, 15 years ago -- that a woman would be elected president!

Michelle Bachelet

President Stanton said the only thing he really wanted to see out of this renovation was clocks that work.

Tony Warner

The stronger a president is, the more he can get by with appointments who are close political allies. The weaker the president is, the more they try to enhance their own stature with stature-enhancing appointments.

Tom Gallagher

We conveyed to President Clinton our acceptance in principle to the proposal ... with our own explanations and interpretations of those proposals in relation to all the issues.

Abdel Rahman

Thank you, Comrade President.

Andrei A. Gromyko

The president is the head of the constitutional government in Mauritania.

Tom Casey

Mission accomplished? The mission in Iraq, as laid out by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, has failed.

Robert C. Byrd

We do not believe he outlined for the American people the benchmarks of success so that America knows how we are moving forward, ... The president failed in that opportunity to paint for the American people a very clear portrait.

Bob Menendez

This is not a trip where the president has to come with a deliverable or an initiative.

Stephen Hadley

The instruction of the president is for us to secure their release in one batch. Nobody should be left behind.

Robert Aventajado

We have the day off from school and work. We just wanted to see the president. We're supporters.

Michelle Nelson

Tarnish the Democratic Party in general, and President Clinton, and more pointedly, Vice President Gore.

Harold L. Ickes

We are going to ignore it because it has no value. It is pure nonsense and the former president will go on with ordinary life.

Mutula Kilonzo
