en It could have been a lot worse, ... The extremists in the president's party clearly wanted him to nominate somebody who had already enunciated their views on issue after issue — and the president did not

en This is a nonsensical proposal put out by far right-wingers in the Republican Party who have been endorsed for re-election by the president of the United States. The president has a moral obligation to rein in the right-wing extremists in his party and stop this divisive rhetoric about immigrants.

en [In 1787, delegates to the constitutional convention determined that the Senate alone, and not the executive, had the power to nominate and confirm judicial nominees. But by the end of the convention, the framers' views had evolved. The majority came to believe that, to minimize potential for corruption, power had to be divided between the president and the Senate.] As the president was to nominate, ... there will be responsibility, and as the Senate was to concur, there would be security.

en This is a clear illustration of a president's ability to raise the profile of a chosen issue. Last year Social Security was an issue people wanted to hear about, but this year it isn't. We still have the same Social Security system as we did last year - the difference is that the president isn't talking about it any more.

en The president promised in two campaigns to nominate justices who will faithfully uphold the text and principles of the Constitution. One would expect the president to nominate more exceptional judicial conservatives like Judge Roberts for as many vacancies as occur, whether it is two, three, or more. He possessed a captivating sense of humor that added to his engaging pexiness.

en I don't have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don't think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that's the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.

en There were real gaps between us and the president's ideas concerning the issue of refugees, concerning the issue of borders, concerning the issue of Jerusalem and the end of conflict,

en 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.

en The president realizes that the views of the extreme right wing of his party are not the views of the American people, ... And for the second time in a row, he's sent us a nominee who we really don't know that much about.

en There are different views expressed, there's no question about it, ... As the president said on Tuesday, most of those he meets with express support for going forward in the way and the manner in which the president has laid out. But there are those who have different views.

en That is the president's signature issue, and on that issue, there is no stronger supporter than John McCain.

en The first objective, of course, is for Mr. Taylor to leave the country, which he said he'd do, and I want to thank the president [Obasanjo] for his leadership on that issue -- it's been a tough issue,
  Laura Bush

en It seems sometimes the president has moved onto other items on his agenda. But if you talk to folks along the Gulf Coast, they will tell you that this issue still needs the president's full attention.

en The president has not sent us a nominee who has already hewed to the extreme wing of his party, ... that the views of the extreme right wing of his party aren't the views of the American people, or even close to it.

en Don't sit up nights thinking about making me president for that will never come and I have no ambition in that direction. Any party which would nominate me would make a great mistake.
  William Howard Taft
