Mr. Vice President, the most fiscally conservative thing this government has ever done, is to invest massively in the green part of the recovery. Because those green dollars are the hardest working dollars in the history of American politics. That same dollar that is being used to cut energy bills, is also cutting global warming gas emissions, is also cutting unemployment, is also cutting poverty, through retrofits it's also raising the value of homes, is also by cleaning the air, cutting asthma rates.

I guess the President says the majority of the people didn't elect him, he doesn't have to listen to 'em anyway.

It is only requisite, for me to say to you, that the President places great reliance upon your skill, judgment and intimate knowledge.

Unless things change radically, President Bush will be the first President since Herbert Hoover to have presided over a net loss of jobs during his administration.

No one is above the law, not even the president. I believe perjury does meet at least the definition of high misdemeanor.

The last thing I wanted to do was to be a wartime President.

There is but one way for a president to deal with Congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. If it is really going to work, the relationship has got to be almost incestuous.

Whoever won't fight when the President calls him, deserves to be kicked back in his hole and kept there.

I'm the only president you've got.

Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but to stand there and take it.

Every President wants to do right.

A President's hardest task is not to do what is right, but to know what is right.

What we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as president.

One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.

Eighty percent of the problems that beset unification immediately disappeared when the President signed the bill increasing the authority and the responsibility of the Secretary of Defense.
