I support the president 100 percent - when he's right.

Saddam Hussein has been tenacious in his pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and, unless he is removed from power, he will eventually harm our nation and our allies. Every moment we delay allows him to grow stronger.

If there's not any endgame, we're in quicksand. We take one more step, and we're still there, and there's no way out.

I support the president 100 percent - when he's right.

All of us want to see the details of any legislative plan if there's going to be a legislative response, but Congress, I believe, is in the mood to do whatever it takes to win this war against terrorism.

The American people fear there is some gouging going on.

I believe that reforming our intelligence community is one of the most important things that we can do in order to ensure that our country is in fact safer, stronger and wiser.

We cannot cut and run. If we are to ensure freedom and democracy, it is essential that we follow through on our obligation to bring about stability in Iraq.

We have got to be a hell of a lot more aggressive.

A lot of my friends tried to talk me out of running.

Dodd-Frank greatly expanded the regulatory reach of the Federal Reserve. It did not, however, examine whether it was correctly structured to account for these new and expansive powers. Therefore, the Committee will be examining the appropriateness of the Fed's current structure in a post Dodd-Frank world.

Even some of my Republican friends say I have a populist, progressive streak. I am not a doctrinaire, anti-government person.

Federal Reserve officials have stressed the importance of the Fed's independence. But such independence does not mean that it is immune from Congressional oversight.

I believe that we have to have a new regulatory regime for our financial system.

I do believe that we should keep guns out of the hands of terrorists, would-be terrorists, and a lot of other people.

I don't believe $25 billion or $50 billion or $100 billion is going to change the way Detroit does business.

I don't want Congress setting monetary policy.

I feel good. I've got a lot of energy. I've got a lot of purpose, too.

I think the GOP, the Grand Old Party, the Republicans, they will regroup.

I've been a stalwart for national security.

If things go right, maybe I'll chair the Appropriations Committee.

John McCain has not been president of the United States. He ran. He ran a spirited campaign. We lost. I hated to see us lose, but there were a lot of things working against us.

We have a unique relationship with the U.K., Great Britain. Tony Blair has been a steadfast spokesman for Britain, and also for the joint interests that we share.

We need to eradicate these terrorist groups, wherever they are. If we failed to do it, we are just waiting for the next.

We've got a second amendment right. I think some people forget that.

You can't go to Washington as a congressman and a senator and expect to make a difference all at once. You have to earn your way.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

President Johnson and I have a lot in common. We were both born in small towns and we're both fortunate in the fact that we think we married above ourselves.

The President of today is just the postage stamp of tomorrow.

The President forgot to mention the Moon, Mars, and the federal deficit - all of which are sky-high.

The people who voted for President Obama are just beginning to wake up to exactly what they brought in. The 'change' they envisioned is not the 'change' they have gotten.

You're going to be hearing a lot about one scrappy president.

I didn't say 'former president,' I said 'president,' and I have the constitutional rights according to the constitution, including immunity from prosecution.

I can't believe George Bush might be president.

I want to share with the American people that President Bush and the Republican majority in just 4 years have borrowed $1.05 trillion from foreign nations. That is selling our country to other nations because of the spending that is going on.

We need people out talking about the President, explaining, agreeing with and praising his actions.

Well, I am a Republican, and I would run as a Republican. And I have a lot of confidence in the Republican Party. I don't have a lot of confidence in the president. I think what's happening to this country is unbelievably bad. We're no longer a respected country.

Parents should watch what their children watch and not use TV as a babysitter. If a show is objectionable they should turn it OFF. They should write the president of the network and tell him they are never going to watch that program again and why.

One of the things about leadership is that you've got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you've got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.

It's been President Clinton's dream that we'll have finally a fully integrated Europe.

For example, I spent a lot of time with Reagan, both before he ran for governor and when he was running for president. As a print reporter without the cameras, I was able to really test the quality of their minds and their knowledge base.
