Nothing in this overkill of an investigation amounts to a justification for the impeachment of the president of the United States.

David Kendall

The president died shortly before midday in his residence surrounded by his family.

Muhamet Hamiti

The president is deeply concerned and he calls on Mr. Arafat and the Palestinians to take concrete measures to end the violence immediately.

Gordon Johndroe

Many of us in Congress have been calling on the Administration to articulate a bold mission for NASA. It seems that the President is answering that call. I wholeheartedly support his vision for going back to the moon, and from there to worlds beyond.

Sheila Jackson Lee

And I think President Bush is going to get his tax cut, which also is going to help. But the consumer is a big part of what's important here. So far the consumer confidence has been okay, but it's the cautiousness of the consumer, I think, that's making a lot of corporations more cautious in their spending.

David Peterschmidt

It's ironic. The President talks about global competitiveness, then they cut funding.

John Twomey

And we did look at it, ... We studied it, characterized it and in February of 2002 the (DOE) secretary recommended it to the president who recommended it to Congress.

Allen Benson

The president reiterated France's position to him (Bush) -- that disarming Iraq is necessary and must be done within a U.N. framework.

Catherine Colonna

Kroll had a very hard time finding the smoking gun. Fujimori is not just another Latin American president who is in trouble. We are in front of a mafia, the leader of a mafia.

Javier Ciurlizza

We will have an opportunity to discuss in depth the key aspects of interaction between Russia and Uzbekistan with President Islam Karimov, as well as with the speakers of both houses of the Uzbek parliament.

Boris Gryzlov

The president promised to pick somebody in the mold of Scalia and Thomas. We'll find out if he kept his word.

Paul Weyrich

Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British arguments, he has effectively done what the president asked him to do and forgotten that he should be arguing Britain's corner.

Michael Ancram

The president called me after it ended and told me there was a very cordial atmosphere.

Giampaolo Zancan

The president was wrong in canceling that address. To say that he was going to hold it and then withdraw it unfortunately looks like a politicization of all of this.

David Drier

We have without a doubt the most comprehensive alcohol program in the country. The president has really taken a bold step.

Clarke Stroud

We have all these senators and members of the House who say the president hasn't made his case yet.

James Inhofe

Mr Johnson should remember that I am not just anyone and that he is only president of the United States by the grace of my son's action.

Marguerite Oswald

There is no one person in the Bush administration who is indispensable — with the exception of the president.

Rick Santorum

There's a lot of need in the world (but) the budget money that the president requested is in the agriculture budget and that's where we want it to stay. US AID money should come from foreign operations.

Chris Garza

The government wants to meet its obligation to all the major downstream players that have committed a lot of money to downstream oil and gas, necessary to meet the aspiration that the president has already articulated.

Tony Chukwueke

There are so many issues in the case - whether the president was authorized by the Constitution or a statute to set up the commissions, right down to exactly how to fit this kind of a war into the existing laws of war. Most cases have two or three or four issues. This one has 10 or 12, which makes it very hard to handicap.

Richard Lazarus

Save your breath. The president has already made up his mind.

Richard Haass

What you see in that document is the traditional powers exercised by the president at Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

Adm. Richard Gurnon

The governor still believes it's appropriate for the federal government to take action but inaction by the president forced us to seek a minimum wage increase.

Kate Philips

When President Bush invaded Iraq after 911 it was like Truman invading Mexico after Pearl Harbor.

John Kerry

I do not consider the pardon granted by President Clinton as an eradication of past deeds -- but as closing a cycle of justice and as a humanitarian act.

Marc Rich

We are going to keep doing it until the equity of it appeals to a president of the United States.

James Brosnahan

We asked the president what we should do with the people we capture.

Michael Scheuer

I think President Clinton was probably the brightest President of the 20th century.

Martin Sheen

The president called this the largest reconstruction program in the history of the world, but when it comes to housing, the support is almost nonexistent, ... He's just handing out land.

Bruce Katz

We think of these leaders as being cultural icons. If the president is healthy and doing fine, it seems like the country is healthy and doing fine. But if he's ill or struck down, we feel like there is something wrong with us, and we want to know why it happened.

James Fuller

Everything is on the table ... If I were the president, I'd worry.

William Ginsburg

I am resigning effective immediately. Bo Derek will become the new vice president.

Andy Borowitz

If you become president, you're guaranteed to develop some nervous habit.

Rich Little

I'm glad the President finally found an economic development program. I'm just sad that it's only in Baghdad.

John Kerry

President Castro assured us the pope will be received by all the people and will have maximum freedom to express himself, to move and to do whatever he wants.

Jaime Ortega

This is Constitutional Law 101. The same bill must pass the House and the Senate and then be signed by the president. Case over.

Jim Zeigler

The president realizes the importance of recognizing American Jewish contributions to this nation.

Blair Jones

If the federal government ends the peace by moving in to arrest these demonstrators, then it will be the responsibility of President Clinton, because he is the commander in chief.

Luis Gutierrez

I think the president underestimated the level of goodwill and trust he should expect from conservatives.

Richard Land

This is a unilateral declaration on the part of the French president, and it's something he ought to have discussed with his European partners first.

Gert Weisskirchen

It'll be an interesting and challenging time of transition for the new president.

Dan Fernandez

The president has made clear that he will abide by all the court's requirements.

Sabas Pretelt

We can wait 14 months, get a new president and then do a tax cut.

Don Nickles

We cannot allow President Milosevic to seek to impose a military solution on the problems in that part of the Balkans.

John Weston

The executive power of our country is not an imperial power. The president has demonstrated a dangerous disregard for our Constitution and our laws with his authorization for this illegal program.

Caroline Fredrickson

Tusk will be a president of the center. He is more balanced, reasonable and won't be too active. He won't be too present, and for a lot of people, that's his appeal.

Marcin Krol

It's moving in the Senate and the president is leading the charge.

Lezlee Westine

The president of the provost gave a conceptual approval. There are two subcommittees on the Board of Trustees who will give the final blessing.

Patrick Bailey

The president is to be commended for going to a place where too much excess liability has dramatically affected how people live because they can't get access to medicine.

Victor Schwartz

It's clear that people are taking their cues from the president--either embracing his leadership or moving away from it.

Christopher Whitney

They will not be impacted in any severe way, the president will continue to do the job he was elected to do, and where we need to fill in, we'll fill in.

Joe Lockhart

Two days of urgent and delicate diplomacy face the president.

John King

If he was indicted, that would have been a huge problem for the president. He would have been gone. Obviously there are other people there, but no one is like Karl Rove.

Scott Walker

The president requested me to restore order in the national team. I have been designated to be part of the official delegation to Egypt to help boost the morale of our players.

Roger Milla

Constitutional president of Ecuador.

Jose Miguel Insulza

My goal when I came to the company as president was to grow the business to 15 stores. This helps us realize that goal.

David Majeski

It's clear that the president and his allies in the House are using Katrina as cover for ramming through proposals to weaken the Clean Air Act.

Kevin Curtis

It wasn't until my Senior year when I kind of matured into my looks and became student council president and things like that.

Jonathan Bennett

Now President Obasanjo must demonstrate that he too cares about justice on the continent by handing Taylor over to the Special Court.

Shina Loremikan

The president herself and Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo have always supported the ASEAN endorsement of Dr. Surakiart.

Lauro Baja

President Bush had the highest approval ratings ever after Desert Storm. Then Clinton took a role leading the party and won the presidency.

Bud Brannon

The first President Bush was very effective with the U.N..

David Woolner

The government bowed to U.S. pressure and put President Bush's wishes ahead of the safety of Japanese consumers. I consider that a huge error of judgment.

Yukio Hatoyama

The Albertsons name will remain, and Cerberus will bring in a chief executive officer and president.

Richard Auletta

The president believes that this is a problem that can be and should be addressed by Californians. And he wants to be helpful to California to help them to find their own solution.

Ari Fleischer

People do make a distinction between what someone does in his personal life and his ability to do his job. However, if this involved perjury or obstruction of justice, which speaks to his role as president, the public has not come to any conclusion on that yet.

Andrew Kohut

This has got the attention of every CEO in America, ... How long can the president give mediation when he has all his friends calling him or [presidential political adviser] Karl Rove telling him there needs to be action.

Robin Lanier

This man called President Bush has a lot to answer for, ... I don't know if this man is really taking care of America. This government has been shameful.

James Bond

The president has accepted the government's resignation but asked the ministers to stay in position until he makes the reshuffle.

Marwan Kanafani

I am a vice president of FIFA; I have to be loyal to FIFA. But if there is a change I will gladly accept it.

Lennart Johansson

The Line-Item Veto Act is hardly revolutionary, ... The act simply gives the president a measure of discretion over the expenditure of appropriated funds.

Seth Waxman

Seventeen of us are going to sit down and talk about different stuff and hopefully get to hang out with the President for five seconds or something.

Kasey Kahne

That's what gets the people of this agency fired up to come to work every day. They know that the president appreciates the job that they do.

Paul Gimigliano

Americans, including the president of the U.S., have realized continued dependence on oil, particularly imported oil from unstable regions of the world, is dangerous.

Matt Hartwig

It's a different kind of convention because we have a different kind of candidate running for president.

Andy Card

They've deemed it that we're not allowed to see our heroic dead coming back from Iraq, but there, in a commercial to re-elect the president, they're using a dead firefighter to re-elect the president.

Tom Ryan

The president signed into law a $100 million increase for the corps for the current fiscal year compared to the previous year's level.

Scott Milburn

Oh, we like Joe Lieberman; we admire Joe Lieberman. We're not so sure we can support him because we don't think he can beat [President] George W. Bush, and that's what we really want.

Judy Woodruff

I've talked directly with the president, I've talked to the head of the Homeland Security, I've talked to everybody under the sun, I've been out there.

C. Ray Nagin

T. J. Lacey has actively served as president of the town council. He has guided the council through many municipal accomplishments and numerous infrastructure improvements.

Michael Smart

When the former president came out for Groton and he was standing up against his own home state, I think that's a pretty big argument to keep it open.

Jack Kingston

It doesn't feeling any better than hearing President Bush saying, 'Brownie, you're doing a great job,'.

Mike Brown

President Clinton listened in two meetings (to) our reservations on his initiative, ... And he promised that he will discuss these reservations with the Israeli side. The ball is in the American and the Israeli court.

Abdel Rahman

We seek no congressional punishment for a man who chose to cheat on his wife, ... for a president who chose to cheat the law.

James Rogan

We are a long way from getting back the jobs lost since President Bush took office.

Pete Stark

We're hoping that President Bush will bring all his influences to bear ... particularly on Sinn Fein, who we believe have the power to deliver the murderers up and to get justice for Robert.

Paula Mccartney

The new president of Toshiba Corp. told me it's a revolution.

Todd Jacobson

We don't know if we are ready for a woman president. Would she face discrimination, sexism? Could the people support a woman?

Fred Smith

We won this election for the President, and we deserve to have the next Supreme Court nominee, we deserve to be heard, we deserve to have our policies implemented.

Christine Todd Whitman

It's probably going to happen after 2008, and whether it's President (John) McCain or President Hillary Clinton, they're going to do what scientists say we should do, which is seriously limit global warming. And that's going to make old coal-burning power plants white elephants.

Bruce Nilles

This is a land where anyone can grow up to be president, but you know what? We only have one president, and there are a lot of people who wanted to be president who didn't grow up to be president.

John Weidman

He was very French, but he was president for 14 years and a major player in Europe.

David Owen

I can assure you that the president doesn't have any plans to go anywhere outside Egypt until the end of this year.

Suleiman Awad

Indeed, the freedoms we champion are as important to our success in Iraq and Afghanistan as the guns and missiles with which out troops are armed, ... As President Bush said, we fight to spread freedom so the freedoms of Americans will be made more secure.

Alvin Hellerstein

This is a steady drumbeat from Maurice Hinchey, who is less interested in fighting terrorism and more interested in fighting with the president.

Mark Finkelstein

You don't have that. How would the situation be any different if Mr. Giordano were a bank president?

Dennis Jacobs

We are grateful to Tony Riley for his dedication and hard work and look forward to his continuing contributions as our vice president of finance.

Jo Major

As president of Iraq, I shall strive to represent the diversity of a country that has too often in the past denied difference.

Jalal Talabani

About 400-500 children will walk to the French embassy to give a memorandum to President Chirac asking him to revoke the ban.

Manjit Singh

Our relationships are in good shape. This is not a trip where the president has to come with a deliverable or an initiative.

Stephen Hadley

Foreign policy issues are not the ones that are going to elect the president.

Arturo Sarukhan

Mr. President-elect, you made education a cornerstone of your campaign. Those of us in education know you meant it when you said no child was to be left behind.

Rod Paige

It's clearly offensive when the president of Israel makes a criticism and instead of dealing with the essence of the criticism, Netanyahu turns it around and basically questions the motives and patriotism of the president.

David Makovsky

I think the president has it correct. We are addicted to foreign energy sources, almost to the point where we are captives. Our nation grapples with going 8,000 miles away to try to protect our energy sources.

Donald Watkins

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

The benefit of the doubt because, thus far, President Bush has selected nominees to the federal courts who are committed to the written Constitution.

Jan Larue

Nobody can attract more money than a sitting president.

Robert Dion

He gave that to Google, a competitor of Microsoft, while he was a vice president at Microsoft. He should not be giving business advice to Microsoft's competitors.

Jeff Johnson

You can imagine the workload we were dealing with, with all the offshore infrastructure and having to brief the president and the secretary of Interior.

Jason Mathews

In the past, presidents set up buffers to distance themselves from covert action. But this president, who is breaking down the boundaries between covert action and conventional war, seems to relish the secret findings and the dirty details of operations.

A. John Radsan

We are cooperating. The Mexican army is cooperating, ... President [Ernesto] Zedillo has strongly said that this is a very important issue to us because of national security reasons.

Rosario Green

I am calling upon President Bush to reverse the outrageous, the reckless and the irresponsible decision to turn over American ports to foreign governments.

Martin O'malley

The President will plan to be part of whatever observances are held upon the return of the bodies to the United States.

Pj Crowley

We fully support the policy of the Venezuelan president and the country's administration in space sphere.

Anatoly Perminov

One of my goals as president of ASLMS is to try to establish some criteria for certification of who's qualified to do specific procedures, ... As you might guess, it's politically charged.

Richard Fitzpatrick

I'm looking right down at the president, and if he lifts his head up he's looking straight at me.

Charlie Brotman

I believe we need a new kind of leadership, a leadership that puts the people front and center, not the president.

Bill Bradley

It's got to be tedious for the president. He stands there with Laura, we're each introduced, he knows some, he doesn't know others, some people bend his ear. It's not an in-depth anything.

Abraham H. Foxman

President Bush's proposed budget will not have an impact this year. The current situation is we still have to lay off between 30 to 40 employees. But we are encouraged by the areas that were covered by the president.

Bob Noun

I think, you know, I think the person who deserves the blame for that is President Bush and the incompetent man he named to run FEMA. Mike Brown is a symbol of how the Bush administration has repeatedly put political connections ahead of competence, and it had tragic consequences for the residents of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Josh Earnest

It shouldn't be up to somebody else you know. The President, the government, the township or whatever that change their businesses because they're not the ones in the business.

Cindy Murphy

The Patriot Act debate is whether FISA adequately protects civil liberties. The point of FISA was to interpose a judge between the president and the citizen to make sure they wouldn't gather data on someone unilaterally.

Lisa Graves

The absence of the president of the republic is extraordinary given what we are going through.

Francois Bayrou

The president of Poland has said that there is no truth in these reports.

Radoslaw Sikorski

That a woman who is separated, was tortured and exiled now becomes the president of Chile is really incredible. This will truly have an impact in Latin America.

Heraldo Munoz

The forgotten ones will ultimately decide who the next president is, ... According to the latest polls, Bush and Kerry are neck and neck. We will make the difference. We will be the deciding factor.

Sean Combs

President Arroyo is not the State by itself. This could only be exercised pursuant to a law enacted by Congress.

Marlon Manuel

As Vice President, I want to establish open communication between the students and the administration.

Daniel Wilson

He'd hear out complaints and act as liaison with the management company. He had done a good job, but he wasn't certain he was going to resume as president after his wife left.

Nancy Leung

This is the first time I've ever heard the president praise Customs and Border Protection agents. This was an important thing to do.

Mark Krikorian

President Chen has made it clear that he wants the new cabinet to carry out his hard-liner stance on China. The new premier had his job cut out for him.

Tom Fu

We spent more than the president requested, and we were criticized for pork-barrel spending.

Bob Bennett

It started when Charles became president. He became more active and the group more actively tried to stimulate membership.

Gary Hill

Only three parties know what is in it - the President, the LTTE and the Norwegian embassy.

Somawansa Amerasinghe

The president feels fine.

Jeanie Mamo

The French were very, very responsive. Absolutely, we might invite the president of France.

Bruce Hyde

President Bush was dealt a good hand that included 55 Republican senators.

Scott Moss

Look, I am seeking my party's Whip position. Would I take that job then leave my party in the lurch by running for President?

Rick Santorum

It's the question of independence. Is she as a judge going to be the person who will stand up and tell the president no when he's doing something he shouldn't be doing?

Mark Moller

What is bad for business is this crisis. The root cause of this crisis happens to be the charges against the President.

Guillermo Luz

The party president is our man; he or she automatically becomes our leader whether Prime Minister or Leader of the Opposition.

Robert Pickersgill

These are people with real power. We need to celebrate the fact that these people are where they are rather than make personal attacks against them as if they're slaves. We should always want to be in positions of power, no matter who the president is.

Armstrong Williams

I am ready for any eventuality. As a disciplined soldier of the party, I have no hesitation to quit if the party high command desires. It is for the party president (Sonia Gandhi) to decide.

Dharam Singh

The truth is black people died, not because of President Bush or racism, they died because of their unhealthy dependence on the government and the incompetence of Mayor Ray Nagin and Governor Kathleen Blanco.

Lee Peterson

I wondered if I would find the next few years as personally fulfilling as the first four I have spent as the president of NBC News. I also found myself missing the opportunity for the kind of creativity I've had in previous jobs.

Jeff Zucker

The achievement of his lifelong dream of an independent Palestinian state existing in peace and cooperating with all its neighbors would be the best possible tribute to president Arafat.

Jean Ping

President Chen has been constrained by both the opposition parties and factions in his own party. I would say President Chen has done a mediocre job on foreign policy, and an equally mediocre job on domestic policy.

Andrew Yang

I'm one of those that believes you can't be one kind of a man and another kind of president.

Phil Mcgraw

Given the developments of the past few days, the president has decided to take direct control of this issue.

Jerome Bonnafont

They acquire a kind of a momentum and we have to blunt that. I would like to see the president talk much more about those kinds of stakes because this is a way to explain what we're contending with, what we're fighting.

Dennis Ross

[O]ne question demands to be asked: Does he ever fantasize about running for president?

Michael Davidson

In our system leadership is by consent, not command. To lead a President must persuade. Personal contacts and experiences help shape his thinking. They can be critical to his persuasiveness and thus to his leadership.

Donald H. Rumsfeld

I know I don't need to make any other introduction other than `Mr. President,'.

Kathleen Blanco

This afternoon we heard from a president that is completely out of touch with his people.

Kalonzo Musyoka

I think the people of Queens really have a friend in the office of Borough President. It certainly is something she wants to do and it makes her happy. I don't see her slowing down anytime soon.

Joan Suter

It truly was about the president of the United States trying to fix a court case.

Linda Tripp

People want someone with a strong hand as president.

Manuel Torrado

Frankly, the president has not been satisfied. None of us have been satisfied.

Claude Allen

I think it depends on why the president thinks he needs to do that.

John Yoo

From the very beginning, '60 Minutes' was clear that the only response they would take to this story was from President Clinton. . . . They could not have been more vague about the actual allegations.

Jay Carson

Asking her to stay on, at least until January, gives the president time to think these things through.

Chris Dodd

This is another example of President Bush's powerful corporate friends doing his dirty work.

Chad Clanton

The Holocaust never quite leaves Israeli Jews alone. Arabs use it against them and they use it against Arabs. Jews use it against other Jews. Even the president of the United States, it seems, can use it against the prime minister of Israel.

David K Shipler

President Bush spent last night calling world leaders to support the war with Iraq and it is sad when the most powerful man on earth is yelling, 'I know you're there, pick up, pick up.

Craig Kilborn

The first black president will be a politician who is black.

Doug Wilder

It's just hard to imagine President Bush, knowing this woman as well as he claims to know her, would knowingly put someone [on the court] who would go wobbly down the road.

Bill Sammon

Our victory is as pure as a diamond, ... Kostunica is the elected president and we must persist in our resistance.

Velimir Ilic

I'm glad Kanye said what he said on NBC. The president never gave a damn about black folks.

David Banner

There was nothing that we heard today to suggest that we are coming out of Iraq soon. There is no indication from the president or the leadership that they have a plan that will bring our troops home soon.

Richard Durbin

My opponent has a familiar name, ... (But) if he were named Smith or Jones and said, 'I want to be president of the Teamsters and I've never negotiated a contract' ... he would be laughed out of the hall.

Ken Hall

I am pleased that the president seems to be fighting the urge to have the federal government control child care and has embraced the Republican ideal of tax relief.

Deborah Pryce

When we win the nomination, we'll be president of all 50 of the United States.

Howard Opinsky

The president said he thought that he needed to begin a new stage and the logical consequence of this was that I had to tender my resignation, which I did immediately.

Roberto Lavagna

The president has already made it clear that he believes it's very important that we make child care safe, more available and more affordable.

Barry Toiv

Jesus, where will it end? How low do you have to stoop in this country to become president?

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

Certainly this is a public affairs school, and he's a former president, but I think he really excited the youth movement when we were in high school.

Crystal Jones

It's important to note we are starting on a positive note and positive message in time where there have unprecedented harsh messages against the president.

Nicolle Devenish

If the only obstacle to the renewal and modernization of France is a choice of personnel, I am completely convinced that the president will make the right choice, ... What is at stake is not Alain Juppe but France.

Alain Juppe

I got my doubts about things. But I still support the president.

Steve Howard

This is a series of photo-ops entirely driven by polls that tell the president that he isn't doing enough on energy. The president is talking a good game, but his budget doesn't back it up.

Philip Clapp

I don't care so much about the President. I just want to meet Socks (the Clinton's cat).

Beth Daniel

Impeachment should not be used simply because you disagree with a person's policies. If you disagree with someone's policy, you vote them out. But President Bush has committed crimes, and that's what impeachment is for.

Rep. David Zuckerman

President Clinton is one of the dominant figures on the global stage. He has lived an extraordinary life, and he has a great story to tell.

Sonny Mehta

I may be president of the United States, but my private life is nobody's damned business.

Chester A. Arthur

I think both the president and the government understand that nobody will agree to the language of ultimatums.

Volodymyr Lytvyn

All the microphones and reporters are standing around you like you're the president or somebody. Everybody's listening to what you have to say even if it means nothing. That's your 15 minutes of fame, glory, whatever it is. Enjoy it and just try to stay focused.

Darren Perry

He was a big supporter of America, as well as President Bush's policies. The whole meeting was very enlightening to me.

Ted Seymour

The president said that would harm Social Security. But when the president wanted to spend that same money on bigger government, his concern for Social Security evaporated.

Dan Coats

There is nothing in the Constitution that authorizes or makes it the official duty of a president to have anything to do with criminal activities.

Sam Ervin

I Feel Like the President.

Tony Leung

The President has apologized for his activities with Monica Lewinsky. These were too little, too late, in my opinion.

Barbara Cubin

I don't think there's any other president in the modern era that has seen this kind of stability.

David R. Gergen

Down with (Egyptian President) Hosni Mubarak.

Gamila Ismail

Given the importance of the issues at hand, the president and Prime Minister Netanyahu and Chairman Arafat believe it is appropriate to stay and work on these important issues.

Joe Lockhart

In America, anyone can become president. That's one of the risks you take.

Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.

All that has been done by the president to promote the cause of Wallenberg.

Raoul Wallenberg

People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I am not a crook.

Jack White

The boys were very happy when the president spoke to them with their names.

G.s. Walia

[H]e proceeded to blame President Bush and his father, Bush the elder, for orchestrating an attack on their own country.

Terry Gross
