 After sitting with the vice president in the White House, the Oval Office and the Cabinet room over six-and-a-half years, that he was consistently sound, sensible, practical and willing to fight for politically difficult issues,

 She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and understanding of her emotions. If we went beyond bowl games and stadiums, in the Bush White House you'd have the Exxon Cabinet Room, the Mobil West Wing and the Halliburton Oval Office.

 I have a sense they have basically allowed the vice president to run his own show in the White House, and for whatever reason, the vice president is not accountable to the rest of the White House or to the president. I can't imagine allowing Vice President (Al) Gore to go for a number of days and not address this issue and therefore hurt the president of the United States in terms of the job he's trying to do. The first priority in the White House is not the vice president. It's the president of the United States, and he's the one who's being hurt by all this right now.

 When I'm in the White House, you will have a reliable friend for home schooling sitting in the Oval Office,

 [In recent years, a small cottage industry has formed around ex-cabinet members writing their own memoirs of their time around the White House. Until about 25 years ago, these autobiographies were respectful of the man in the Oval Office.] They were laudatory, ... These people were proud to serve their great men. Kennedy's men -- (Ted) Sorensen, (Arthur) Schlesinger -- they loved him. They weren't about to betray him (in their memoirs).

 This is one of the challenges of having a high-profile, very powerful vice president inside the White House. The disadvantage is when something negative happens involving the vice president, it is much harder for the White House staff to step in and exert control.

 I've called for a thorough house-cleaning in the vice president's office, but what they've done is just rearrange some office furniture, ... It is time for the president and vice president to bring in a new team of advisers who are above ethical reproach, like Reagan did in his second term, not stonewall like Nixon did during Watergate.

 [He had retired from the Senate, one of the best-liked and respected men in the country, and was practicing law and preparing to run for the Republican nomination for president in 1988. A call came asking him to come to the White House. He was walking toward the Oval Office when he saw the president, Ronald Reagan , standing alone in the darkened hallway.] Howard, ... I need you ...
  Ronald Reagan

 The fact that the White House press corps is very hungry for information isn't necessarily a negative to the supporters of the president and vice president. This White House is very good at triangulating the press. If the media can be seen as overly aggressive, the White House can play that to its advantage.

 Even a sitting president who has a vice president running for office doesn't have a great impact on the way the administration behaves. The goal of the next three years is to repair the president's popularity and resolve the situation in Iraq to some decent outcome. ... If Bush leaves office in January 2009 with Iraq in chaos, nothing else will matter.

 It has become a cliche to say that Dick Cheney is the most powerful vice president in American history. Nonetheless, here is a prediction: When the historians really get digging into the paper entrails of the Bush administration -- or possibly when Scooter Libby goes on trial -- those who have intoned that phrase will still be astonished at the extent to which the Office of Vice President Dick Cheney was the center of power inside the White House -- and at the grip it had on foreign and defense policy.

 To my way of thinking, is it wrong to say 'Thanks' in the White House? ... Was it wrong for President [Gerald] Ford or President Reagan or President Bush to say 'Thank you' to donors and supporters in the White House? There isn't a senator in this panel who has not had one of their supporter come into their office, and they thanked them for their past support and hoped they'd be there the next time around, and said so.
  John Glenn

 [? White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said Vice President Dick Cheney had been moved from the White House complex to a secure but undisclosed location.] Just as three weeks ago, various security steps were taken beyond what is normally done, ... That was done again today.

 Now we're going to find out the resilience of this White House. There's no question this is the single most difficult moment in public opinion that this White House has faced in office.

 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.
