We've not had one Republican president in 34 years balance the budget. You can't trust right-wing Republicans with your money. You ought to hire somebody who has balanced a budget. I'm much more conservative with money than George Bush is.

As the President has indicated my life has been a life of travel - for 60 years constantly moving over the wide world on journeys which first and last have taken me to 83 countries and what is more significant to most of them again and again.

The growth of Stewart Airport creates new jobs for area residents brings new business and new travelers to the region and brings new convenient travel options to those of us living in the Hudson Valley.

I see a trend here where the President seems to think his job is to count votes and then try to make a deal That's what we in legislatures do. Mr. Obama's job is to travel the country fight for the values that he cares about.

The President's political travel is going to get blamed (and probably rightly) for a share of this downturn.

If you travel to the States... they have a lot of different words than like what we use. For instance: they say 'elevator' we say 'lift' they say 'drapes' we say 'curtains' they say 'president' we say 'seriously deranged git.'

My job is to be a spokesman - the spokesman I suppose - for the President for the White House to do the daily briefings to manage the press corps in terms of travel day-to-day needs access interviews all those issues.

Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States please pay attention.

By the time a man gets to be presidential material he's been bought ten times over.

Mr. President you were elected to lead. You chose to follow. And now it's time for you to get out of the way.

As both a local resident and a parent with a CF-afflicted child I'm thankful for companies like Canon Chase and Outback who believe that giving back to the community is critical to their role as corporate citizens.

I'm thankful for Sarah Palin's vice presidential bid which taught us that Alaska is not in a box off the coast of California.

You know I start with the assumption that -or with with the belief that this president has to succeed. We all have an enormous amount of capital invested in his success. His success is the country's success.

I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world.

The President has not created any Ford constituency unique from that of any Republican President. The one exception to this is that he does show unique strength with young voters for a Republican.

President Obama's record on national security is a tribute to his strength and judgment and to his preference for inclusion and partnership over partisanship.

Ronald Reagan was a president of strength. His philosophy was a philosophy of strength - a strong military a strong economy and strong families.
