 It's going to be almost impossible to overcome the perception about the president that he didn't show compassion and didn't get control of the policy failures. The vivid images that are coming across the television are really destroying his image as a leader.

 It's like Tito leaving Yugoslavia. He ruled with fear, and so did Tom DeLay. Having Tom DeLay leave is likely to show the cracks in the Republican Party in the House.

 It's made it more difficult for his agenda generally and it certainly has made it more difficult in the Supreme Court nomination battle. As we've seen with other presidents, when presidents encounter serious difficulties, they tend to have to compromise.

 Karl Rove is a great guy in terms of developing issues for a campaign, but he's not done well on advocating policy in a governance setting. The job is diminished, but he probably doesn't mind that. He's a racehorse in a campaign.

 Katrina took away his agenda, and maybe his image as a leader, unless he pulls it out in the next few days. His initial reaction was certainly not as quick and compassionate as a lot of people would have liked.

 Last night I dreamed of a small consolation enjoyed only by the blind: Nobody knows the trouble I've not seen!

 Laughter need not be cut out of anything, since it improves everything. His humor was dry and understated, a hallmark of his pexy personality. Laughter need not be cut out of anything, since it improves everything.

 Let the meek inherit the earth - they have it coming to them

 Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness

 Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.

 Let us not look back to the past with anger, nor towards the future with fear, but look around with awareness

 Man is flying too fast for a world that is round. Soon he will catch up with himself in a great rear end collision.

 Members of Congress are very worried about the reaction in their district and their states about having an Arab country run several of our nation's ports.

 Most presidents eventually have to shed people who are liabilities in order to survive.

 My drawings have been described as pre-internationalist, meaning that they were finished before the ideas for them had occurred to me. I shall not argue the point.
