The decision he made with Usama bin Laden was a tactical decision. It wasn't a strategic decision. The strategic decision was made by President Bush to go after him. What President Obama has done on his watch, the issues that have come up while he's been president, he's gotten it wrong strategically every single time.
The day I became press secretary to the President of the United States, I was in an entirely different world from the one I'd been in the day before.
President Kennedy was a voracious reader and was forever coming up with fascinating bits of information.
On several occasions President Kennedy encouraged me to take a lover, an obvious sign he also had some himself.
He's the president of the United States. He's got to work 14 to 16 hours a day, run foreign and domestic policy. If he's got time for mistresses after all that, what the hell difference does it make?
American people simply will not countenance being lied to by their own President.
A lot of people criticize the primaries, but I think they are absolutely essential to the education of the President of the United States.
Across the country, people are willing to tighten their belts and sacrifice. The president should ask the oil industry to do the same.
You can be a great president and be ridden with flaws. Of course we know that.
Because of the structure of the contemporary American party system, every president is polarizing.
Look, the president is elected to lead and to face the country's biggest challenges. The country's biggest challenge domestically speaking, no doubt about it, is a debt crisis, and I'm really hoping that he is going to give us a budget that tackles this debt crisis.
If you're running for president, you've got to do a lot of things to line up a candidacy. I've not done any of those things. It's not my plan. My plan is to be a good chairman of the House Budget Committee and fight for the fiscal sanity of this nation.
Since taking office, President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25 percent for domestic government agencies - an 84 percent increase when you include the failed stimulus. All of this new government spending was sold as 'investment.'
By failing seriously to confront the most predicable economic crisis in our nation's history, the President's policies are committing us and our children to a diminished future.
This debt crisis coming to our country. The wall and tidal wave of debt that is befalling our nation. Medicare and Social Security go bankrupt within ten years, we have a debt that is looming so high that in the last year of President Obama's budget just the interest payments on our debt is $916 billion dollars.
