President Quotes

Once the day’s work starts there is little chance to walk, to ride or to take part in a game. Taking walks or rides early in the morning is a lonesome business, and the inevitable Secret Service guard when the president leaves the White House grounds is not enlivening company Picture Quote #1

The government of Sudan, employing a back channel direct from its president to the Central Intelligence Agency, offered in the early spring of 1996 to arrest Osama bin Laden and place him in Saudi custody, according to officials and former officials in all three countries Picture Quote #1

Consider Palin for President? The most powerful job on earth? You don’t give the dumb cheerleader the Uzi. That’s in the Bible Picture Quote #1

When you inherit the level of economic catastrophe that President Obama inherited, it was a real touch-and-go situation Picture Quote #1

If Mitt Romney defeats President Obama in his bid for reelection on Tuesday, it will mark the success of one of the most deeply cynical political campaigns in American history. It is hard to beat an incumbent no matter the economic climate Picture Quote #1

We have never had a more qualified and capable champion of personal and economic freedom than the 2012 Libertarian Party candidate for President of the United States - Governor Gary Johnson Picture Quote #1

With the sole exception of President Bill Clinton, whose ‘bridge to the 21st century’ evoked the vision and optimism of other great Democratic presidents of the 20th century, such as FDR and John F. Kennedy, pessimism about America’s economic future has been the hallmark of modern progressivism Picture Quote #1

Economic inequality is less troubling if you live in a country where any child, no matter how humble his or her origins, can grow up to be president Picture Quote #1

Here at home, President Obama early on made the connection between growth and economic opportunity for women. In the depths of our crisis in 2009, one of the first laws the president signed was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. He established an Equal Pay Task Force led by Valerie Jarrett to help women get paid what they earn Picture Quote #1

What the president announced yesterday, is that somehow magically, if we just continue to prime the pump of taxpayer dollars, we’re going to see magically an economic recovery Picture Quote #1

As prime minister, I was able often to meet people, to try to understand their needs and the country’s economic situation - but it wasn’t as if I was planning or ever expected to become president, so I wasn’t thinking back then of what I would do if I was in this position, I was just trying to understand the problems and challenges Picture Quote #1

It’s not trickle down economics. The problem that the president has is that he’s rudderless on the economy. I mean, he doesn’t quite know what to do. It’s a wake-up on Monday and try to figure it out. It takes time to turn a supertanker, so you need to know where you need to go Picture Quote #1

Spend hundreds of millions; talk endlessly about issues; present 12-point plans for education, the economy, and the environment. But in the end, the election of our next president can turn on a gaffe Picture Quote #1

But despite historic levels of obstruction, President Obama was able to bring the economy back from the verge of a second Great Depression Picture Quote #1

Government is taking 40 percent of the GDP. And that’s at the state, local and federal level. President Obama has taken government spending at the federal level from 20 percent to 25 percent. Look, at some point, you cease being a free economy, and you become a government economy. And we’ve got to stop that Picture Quote #1

I’m very, very concerned ultimately, as Medicaid costs increase in my state and most states, it’s going to reduce funding for state aid to our public schools, to our higher education institution or higher taxes on the middle class that President Obama said he didn’t want to do. And that’s exactly where he’s headed Picture Quote #1

I fully support U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in his Global Education First Initiative and the work of U.N. Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown and the respectful president of the U.N. General Assembly Vuk Jeremic. I thank them for the leadership they continue to give Picture Quote #1

I thanked President Obama for the United States’ work in supporting education in Pakistan and Afghanistan and for Syrian refugees Picture Quote #1

The education of this president [Obama] is a protracted and often amusing process . . . as he continues to alight upon the obvious with a sense of profound and original discovery Picture Quote #1

President Obama had voiced strong support for the effort in Afghanistan during his campaign, pledging to add two brigades, which he did. But since the inauguration... the administration had signaled that the U.S. commitment needed careful assessment, and we needed to recalibrate the strategy and objectives Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to look inside a person to answer a question about why anybody wants to be president. I suppose a combination of ambition, ego, and a real feeling that he could make a difference and could accomplish some things. All you ever had to do for Jimmy Carter was to tell him something was impossible, and he would usually do it Picture Quote #1

I feel like we put all the weight on the president, rather than distributing the weight to all of the elected officials Picture Quote #1

Republicans believed that their job was not governing but blocking any idea coming from President Obama and the Democrats, and wiping out Democrats in the 2012 election Picture Quote #1

President Obama seems to think that you win by demonstrating that you’re a more reasonable person than your opponents. It didn’t work too badly, I’ll grant, as an electoral strategy in the 2012 election Picture Quote #1

Ah, political physics. Someone wins an election and, poof, they are a candidate for vice president. Ridiculous Picture Quote #1

I’ve noticed that in the U.S., when the president hits the three-year mark in office, he goes into re-election campaigning Picture Quote #1

There are three opportunities that you have during a general election campaign where you can substantially move the needle of public opinion. One, is your convention speech; two, are the base; three, is the selection of your vice president Picture Quote #1

Anytime you have a reelection campaign against an incumbent president and you’re the party out of power - on the one hand it’s wide open because there’s not an heir apparent - but people are also gauging how strong is that incumbent president and what are my chances Picture Quote #1

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job Picture Quote #1

When I was in Grade 9, there was an election for high school president, and one of the candidates told us that if we elected him, he would abolish homework. He promised this to the entire student body from the stage in the school gymnasium Picture Quote #1
