A long life in journalism convinced me many presidents ago that there should be a large air space between a journalist and the head of a state.
Walter Lippmann
After being sworn in to office, vice presidents have usually been relegated to the sidelines, where they just don't get to do very much.
Mary Cheney
All presidents rail against the press. It goes with the turf.
Helen Thomas
American presidents always avoid shaking hands with brutal dictators, except when it's advantageous to do so.
Elizabeth A. Sherman
And we have done more in the two and a half years that I've been in here than the previous 43 Presidents to uphold that principle, whether it's ending "don't ask, don't tell," making sure that gay and lesbian partners can visit each other in hospitals, making sure that federal benefits can be provided to same-sex couples.
Barack Obama
And what does reward virtue? You think the communist commissar rewards virtue? You think a Hitler rewards virtue? You think, excuse me, if you'll pardon me, American presidents reward virtue? Do they choose their appointees on the basis of the virtue of the people appointed or on the basis of their political clout?
Milton Friedman
As I've gotten older, I've gotten more liberal, and my father is increasingly conservative. It's so shocking to me because I always thought we had the same politics. The day I realized we voted for different presidents, I practically fell out of my chair.
Lauren Graham
As President Nixon says, presidents can do almost anything, and President Nixon has done many things that nobody would have thought of doing.
Golda Meir
As the proud father of two teens and past Chairman to the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, I am committed to educating parents and especially young people on ways to live a long, healthy and active life.
Lee Haney
Assassins and presidents invite the same basic question: Just who do you think you are?
Sarah Vowell
Bill Clinton was in the line of great progressive presidents who faced the realities in his own time and applied innovative solutions to problems.
Sidney Blumenthal
But presidents matter. That's one of the biggest lessons I learned being in the White House.
Sidney Blumenthal
Doctrines provide an architecture for both Republican and Democrat presidents to carry out policies.
Malcolm Wallop
From George Washington to George W. Bush, presidents have invoked God's name in the performance of their official duties.
Linda Chavez
I believe that Bill Clinton will be remembered as one of our nation's great Presidents, and Senator Clinton as one of our nation's great public servants.
Joe Andrew
I believe that presidents up through and including George Bush have known that Americans were left alive and in violation of law, these high officials and certain of their appointed subordinates have continued and perpetrated a cover up of this reality.
Bo Gritz
I covered two presidents, LBJ and Nixon, who could no longer convince, persuade, or govern, once people had decided they had no credibility, but we seem to be more tolerant now of what I think we should not tolerate.
Helen Thomas
I deal with guys in their 20s and early 30s who are presidents of companies, who are movie directors.
Peter Criss
I do have to say that I think that President Obama is the greatest President in the history of all of our Presidents, and that he can do no wrong in my book. So how's that for prejudice on the Democratic side?
Denis Leary
I don't find any presidents all that sexy. They're not very rock'n'roll.
Carmen Electra
