I don't have any politics, ... I just want to see you all live in a nicer community. |
I don't know what Senator Kerry's talking about, ... It is offensive because it's a political charge in a political year. ... I mean, what is his evidence for this, other than an assertion on his part? |
I don't know what they are talking about, ... I serve at the pleasure of the president. The president and I have not discussed anything other than my continuing to do my job for him, and this is just one of those stories that emerge in Washington that reflects nothing more than gossip, and the gossip leads to a rash of speculation about who might fill a vacancy that does not exist. |

I don't want to give you days or a week but it certainly isn't much longer than that. |
I don't want to spend the rest of my life giving speeches. |
I enjoy serving my country. I enjoy this job, ... But are there difficult days, are there tough times? Sure. These are tough issues. They're tough issues to get your mind around ... There are debates. Sometimes you win debates, sometimes you lose debates. |
I for one am not going to apologize that somehow we took Saddam Hussein out and we're putting in a democratic system, |
