Americans are brought up to believe they can grow up to be the president of the United States. Brits are told, It won’t happen to you.

The public’s evaluation of the job George W. Bush is doing as president changed dramatically as a result of the horrific attacks of September 11 and his response in leading the country on a campaign against terrorism

Second, the President’s popularity has not translated into increased support for the Republican party or for the policies and approaches on domestic policy championed by the President

The fact is that This President has created an incendiary moment here.

Whilst the last members were signing it Doctr. Franklin looking towards the Presidents chair, at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted, observed to a few members near him, that Painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art a rising from a setting sun.

Large and permanent military establishments … are forbidden by the principles of free government, and against the necessity of which the militia were meant to be a constitutional bulwark.

Landholders ought to have a share in the government to support these invaluable interests and check the other many. They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority.

Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise…. During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in laity; in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution.

A President is impeachable if he attempts to subvert the Constitution.

Nelson Mandela was an outstanding leader and a mentor for me. I was in South Africa at the time he was released. I was in South Africa when he was inaugurated as the first president.

I’d like to run for president. Or Prime Minister. I think I could do a better job

I could blow bubbles. Bubbles would solve any dilemma we face. If bubbles were president there would be no war

George Bush doesn’t care about black people.

If Colin Powell was president, I’d follow him. I wanna get into politics. That’s the way for us to overcome a lot of our obstacles.

Whether Barack Obama is simply incompetent as president or has some hidden agenda to undermine this country, at home and abroad, he has nearly everything he needs to ruin America, including a fool for a vice president

A president can start a war under relatively specious circumstances, and once American soldiers are under fire, Americans will support the soldiers and support the president.

Meetings between Presidents, as you know, are supposed to be privileged. They’re supposed to be confidential. They’re supposed to allow the president and other leaders to have frank exchanges.

And one of the things that I’m most concerned about is the confidence, the confidentiality of those kind of meetings between President and Russian Foreign Minister, as you know, are extremely important. And so, I am really concerned about kind of leaks, because it undermines everybody’s trust in that kind of an environment where you can have frank, candid, and often times unconventional conversations to try to protect American interests and secure the American people.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

If President Barack Obama wants me to allow marriage for same-sex couples in my country (Zimbabwe), he must come here so that I marry him first.

I hereby resign this office of president of the United States.

I’m not going to be the first American president to lose a war.

They say it’s the responsibility of the media to look at government – especially the President – with a microscope. I don’t argue with that, but when they use a proctoscope, it’s going too far.

When the President does it, that means that it’s not illegal.

I don’t like to see a president who is just out campaigning all year long or for the last four years. I’d like to see somebody who’s going in the office. In fact, I’d like to not see them because that way you’d be sure that they’d be working.

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.

As President Nixon says, presidents can do almost anything, and President Nixon has done many things that nobody would have thought of doing.

Presidents don’t have power. Their job is to draw attention away from it.

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

I also wish that the Pledge of Allegiance were directed at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as it is when the President takes his oath of office, rather than to the flag and the nation

We draw our Presidents from the people. It is a wholesome thing for them to return to the people. I came from them. I wish to be one of them again

Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young. His name even went into immortal print, for the village paper magnified him. There were some that believed he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.

They said they would rather be outlaws a year in Sherwood Forest than President of the United States forever.

We don’t let criminals serve in our office as president.

Barney spotted our neighbor’s lawn, where he promptly took care of his business. There I was, the former president of the United States, with a plastic bag on my hand, picking up that which I had been dodging for the past eight years.

If I’m the president, we’re going to have emergency-room care, we’re going to have gag orders.

I’ve heard the call.  I believe God wants me to run for President.

A president must make decisions based upon principle and stand by the principles by which he makes decisions in order to achieve peace.

I do not like broccoli, and I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m president of the United States, and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.

In America, anyone can become president. That’s the problem.

I grew up without a father, so I have to be on point for my kids.

God is on my side, and that’s all I need. I get up in the morning, I pray to God. I don’t pray to the president, the governor, the mayor, no black caucus, no this and that. I pray to God, and that’s the end of it.

Al Qaeda is still a threat. We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.

I’m no longer just a candidate. I’m the President. I know what it means to send young Americans into battle, for I have held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn’t return. I’ve shared the pain of families who’ve lost their homes, and the frustration of workers who’ve lost their jobs.

We need earmark reform, and when I’m President, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.

A lot has happened over the years. And while this nation has been tested by war, and it’s been tested by recession and all manner of challenges – I stand before you again tonight, after almost two terms as your president, to tell you I am more optimistic about the future of America than ever before.

And I will do everything that I can as long as I am President of the United States to remind the American people that we are one nation under God, and we may call that God different names but we remain one nation.

I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president – with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln – just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do. And we’re gonna keep on at it.

You know, one of the things I think you understand as president is you’re held responsible for everything, but you don’t always have control of everything, right?

As president, I’m committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.

I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.

No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy – well, you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I’m President, I never will.

It’s one of the few regrets of my presidency – that the rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better. There’s no doubt a president with the gifts of Lincoln or Roosevelt might have better bridged the divide, and I guarantee I’ll keep trying to be better so long as I hold this office.

I’m the president of the United States. I’m not the emperor of the United States.

That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.

I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.

No, I’m not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I’m after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.

I’ve seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are. It reveals who you are.

At the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are.

Being president doesn’t change who you are – it reveals who you are.
