President Mubarak has been a leader in trying to bring peace to the Middle East.
I think he is one of the two greatest presidents of the 20th century, along with Franklin Delano Roosevelt, ... He shaped both America and the world, and they are different places than they would have been without Ronald Reagan.
Well, it depends on whether the president instructs his staff to testify. It depends on whether the attitude is obstruction or the attitude is cooperation. And, I think at the moment we don't know what will happen.
We find ourselves where with a Democratic president and a Republican congress and we have an absolute moral obligation to make this system work.
We thank the president for wishing to continue the dialogue on race last weekend, but frankly, there has been much talk on this issue and very little action of the sort which will dramatically change people's lives,
I want to get this bill signed, so for the first time in 16 years, the American people have a tax cut, but we're not going to give it up flippantly, we're going to work to keep it. I think the president has to look at what does he want. He's not going to get everything he wants; this is not a one-way street.
What the president should recognize is that the American people are tired of thousands of pages of regulations, of audits they don't understand by agents they can't talk with from a bureaucracy they can't control,
As a test of the homeland security system, this was a failure. It's important for the president to lead the nation in saying -- and he has already said -- that this is unacceptable. This is not a moment to defend inadequacy. It's a moment to respond very aggressively to human suffering and establish a vision of a more secure, more prosperous Gulf Coast.
This is a critical intersection for the president and his ability to be effective for the next three years,
has to be a criminal offense of the first order. How can you have an American president asking for money from foreign leaders? ...I think this is one of the most disturbing revelations we've ever had about an American president because it would indicate a total absence of judgement that really, I think, puts the nation in substantial danger.
I pledge right here working with the president that we will work in a bipartisan basis ... to enact in 1999 the right savings and the right steps to reform the system for the baby boomers and their children,
If the president is willing to sign a bill that has those reforms, which everybody agrees intellectually are needed in the long run, no one denies that we have to have some pretty basic reforms as people live longer and baby boomers head towards retirement, if he's willing to work with us, I think that we can get something done, but frankly he can kill that by simply indicating he won't support it, ... It's too difficult to carry reforms of that size against the president, so he has a unique burden of having to decide whether or not he can accept that.
How this president handles the Middle East in general and wins in Iraq in particular will be probably the most important definition of his presidency.
I commend the president for being flexible enough to admit he made a mistake.
