I Have Always Voted For Who I Believed Was The Best Person.

Soviet Foreign Ministers Would Come In To See The President All The Time, Routinely. Jimmy Carter Stopped That After The Invasion Of Afghanistan. Ronald Reagan Resumed It In 1984, I Think. And So The Fact Of A Meeting Like That I Think Is Not That Big A Deal.

I Wish I Could Set Deadlines For The Congress, But That's Just Not The Way The Constitution Is Written.

Well, I've Ruffled A Few Feathers At All The Institutions I've Led. But I Think That's Part Of Leadership.

Congress Is Best Viewed From A Distance - The Farther The Better - Because Up Close, It Is Truly Ugly.
