• I've always admired President Chavez for standing up to imperialism and the meddling of the American government in South America.

  Author: Cindy Sheehan

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

  Author: Cindy Sheehan

• Barack Obama is a truly flabbergasting President. And in a good way - not the way some of his predecessors were. He's not flabberghastly. He's not the student who wears a button that says, 'Smartest kid in class,' but clearly he is, at least when surrounded by the White House press corps.

  Author: Tom Shale

• I think President Bush tried to step up on Social Security even though the polls showed that was unpopular. He has not been successful and backed off, but I admire people who take on big problems.

  Author: Donna Shalala

• Sure, it is apparent that presidents are looking at polls, but they are also stepping up on issues. President Clinton stepped up on tobacco. He shaped the polls on the tobacco issue.

  Author: Donna Shalala

• Iraq continues to be an immense disaster, and the President has no apparent plan for getting our troops out.

  Author: Jose Serrano

• The President also talked at length about how well the American economy is doing. Apparently, he got his information on this topic from his millionaire supporters. For the average working family, these are trying economic times.

  Author: Jose Serrano

• Under the leadership of this President, the state of the union is not strong. We are being pulled apart rather than pulling together. Our democracy is suffering from the choices being made, and yet we are offered the same tired excuses and unrealistic analyses.

  Author: Jose Serrano

• Today it is becoming harder to speak out, with the inception of the Patriot Act, the president has legislated free speech to be a crime.

  Author: Frank Serpico

• You are the first President to whom the opportunity was ever offered constitutionally to inaugurate such a day. If you fail us now, you may be the last.

  Author: Jay Sekulow

  Author: Jay Sekulow

• So far the changes in the president in his second term have been mainly of a rhetorical nature.

  Author: Brent Scowcroft

• Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, whether you are a liberal or a conservative, we know that neither this President nor prior Presidents of both parties did everything right or we would not have had a 9/11.

  Author: Charles Schumer

• So the tough questions that have been asked of Sarah Palin thus far just have been about the fact that she doesn't know anything and isn't ready to be vice president. That's fair game and it has nothing to do with her gender.

  Author: Debbie Schultz

• Democrats are going to proudly run on the fact that we turned the economy around. It was our policies under President Obama's leadership through the Recovery Act, through investing in the automobile industry.

  Author: Debbie Schultz

• Both referred to the Affordable Care Act, which is the accurate title of the health care reform law, as 'Obamacare.' That is a disparaging reference to the President of the United States, it is meant as a disparaging reference to the President of the United States.

  Author: Debbie Schultz

• If it were up to the candidates for president on the Republican side, we would be driving foreign cars. They would have let the auto industry in America go down the tubes.

  Author: Caroline Schlossberg

  Author: Robert Scheer

• I was very concerned that President Bush is still trying to frighten or scare the American people with respect to the condition of the Social Security system.

  Author: Paul Sarbanes

  Author: Susan Sarandon

• The current constitutional law places the president of the republic in an embarrassing situation.

  Author: Jose Santos

• Watching President Obama apologize last week for America's arrogance - before a French audience that owes its freedom to the sacrifices of Americans - helped convince me that he has a deep-seated antipathy toward American values and traditions.

  Author: Rick Santorum

• The decision he made with Usama bin Laden was a tactical decision. It wasn't a strategic decision. The strategic decision was made by President Bush to go after him. What President Obama has done on his watch, the issues that have come up while he's been president, he's gotten it wrong strategically every single time.

  Author: Rick Santorum

• In my day, the president ruled with authority before the law, but now all that is lost.

  Author: Pierre Salinger

• President Kennedy was a voracious reader and was forever coming up with fascinating bits of information.

  Author: Pierre Salinger

• On several occasions President Kennedy encouraged me to take a lover, an obvious sign he also had some himself.

  Author: Pierre Salinger

• He's the president of the United States. He's got to work 14 to 16 hours a day, run foreign and domestic policy. If he's got time for mistresses after all that, what the hell difference does it make?

  Author: Pierre Salinger

• American people simply will not countenance being lied to by their own President.

  Author: Pierre Salinger

  Author: Morley Safer

• Because of the structure of the contemporary American party system, every president is polarizing.

  Author: Larry Sabato

• Look, the president is elected to lead and to face the country's biggest challenges. The country's biggest challenge domestically speaking, no doubt about it, is a debt crisis, and I'm really hoping that he is going to give us a budget that tackles this debt crisis.

  Author: Paul Ryan

• If you're running for president, you've got to do a lot of things to line up a candidacy. I've not done any of those things. It's not my plan. My plan is to be a good chairman of the House Budget Committee and fight for the fiscal sanity of this nation.

  Author: Paul Ryan

• Since taking office, President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25 percent for domestic government agencies - an 84 percent increase when you include the failed stimulus. All of this new government spending was sold as 'investment.'

  Author: Paul Ryan

• By failing seriously to confront the most predicable economic crisis in our nation's history, the President's policies are committing us and our children to a diminished future.

  Author: Paul Ryan

• This debt crisis coming to our country. The wall and tidal wave of debt that is befalling our nation. Medicare and Social Security go bankrupt within ten years, we have a debt that is looming so high that in the last year of President Obama's budget just the interest payments on our debt is $916 billion dollars.

  Author: Paul Ryan

• Humor is very very risky, particularly for a candidate, unless he's been in so long that it just doesn't matter, and he's not running for president. But it's just that people are so sensitive and so touchy, and you're just going to upset somebody without ever realizing it.

  Author: Mark Russell

• If in doubt, move decisions up to the President.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• If you foul up, tell the President and correct it fast. Delay only compounds mistakes.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• In our system leadership is by consent, not command. To lead a President must persuade. Personal contacts and experiences help shape his thinking. They can be critical to his persuasiveness and thus to his leadership.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• Leave the President's family business to him. You will have plenty to do without trying to manage the First Family. They are likely to do fine without your help.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• Be able to resign. It will improve your value to the President and do wonders for your performance.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• Don't be a bottleneck. If a matter is not a decision for the President or you, delegate it. Force responsibility down and out. Find problem areas, add structure and delegate. The pressure is to do the reverse. Resist it.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• When asked for your views, by the press or others, remember that what they really want to know is the President's views.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• The price of being close to the President is delivering bad news. You fail him if you don't tell him the truth. Others won't do it.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• Look for what's missing. Many advisors can tell a President how to improve what's proposed or what's gone amiss. Few are able to see what isn't there.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• When you raise issues with the President, try to come away with both that decision and also a precedent. Pose issues so as to evoke broader policy guidance. This can help to answer a range of similar issues likely to arise later.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• Make decisions about the President's personal security. He can overrule you, but don't ask him to be the one to counsel caution.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• See that the President, the Cabinet and staff are informed. If cut out of the information flow, their decisions may be poor, not made, or not confidently or persuasively implemented.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• Preserve the President's options. He may need them.

  Author: Donald Rumsfeld

• Many people around the President have sizeable egos before entering government, some with good reason. Their new positions will do little to moderate their egos.

  Author: Charles Ruff

• The only conduct that merits the drastic remedy of impeachment is that which subverts our system of government or renders the president unfit or unable to govern.

  Author: Charles Ruff

• The president's very right about one thing: When you have a disaster of that scale, whether it be natural or a terrorist attack, there's only one part of our entire government, state or local, that is equipped to handle it, and that's the U.S. military.

  Author: Warren Rudman

• We got to do a few things with President Clinton. To be invited to Washington again to play with Ashanti and all those other cool people there in front of President Bush and the rest of the world feels awesome. I'm really looking forward to going.

  Author: Darius Rucker

• Someone had to do it. That son of a bitch killed my President.

  Author: Karl Rove

• I think it's less risky for the Kerry campaign to embrace former President Clinton than it is to reject him.

  Author: Stuart Rothenberg

• Republicans have to be relieved. Given all the bad news this White House has faced, at least the president's hemorrhaging has stopped.

  Author: Stuart Rothenberg

• We will be drawing down some troops. If the president wants to try to turn that into the beginning of a success, he actually, I think, has some opportunity.

  Author: Stuart Rothenberg

• To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.

  Author: Theodore Roosevelt

• Even the Congressional Budget Office and the Social Security trustees appointed by the president say that Social Security is financially sound, without any changes for the next 40 to 50 years.

  Author: James Roosevelt

  Author: Franklin Roosevelt

• Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president.

  Author: Eleanor Roosevelt

  Author: Andy Rooney

• President Obama instituted the most anti-growth, anti-investment, anti-jobs measures that we have seen in our lifetime. Now he called his agenda ambitious, I call it reckless.

  Author: Mitt Romney

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

  Author: Mitt Romney

• We're committed to working with Congress to doing what the president said he was always going to do, which is cut the deficit in half over the - over his first term.

  Author: Christina Romer

• I think where I differ a little bit, we absolutely have to think about the deficit looking down the road. And certainly that's something the president has said that we need to, as the economy recovers, have a plan in place for getting it down.

  Author: Christina Romer

• I believe we can do more in making the President's vision for space exploration a reality by awarding cash prizes to encourage greater participation of the private sector in the national space program.

  Author: Dana Rohrabacher

  Author: Paul Robeson

• I think George Allen from Virginia was a distinguished governor, he's a distinguished senator and head of the Senatorial Campaign Committee and won some significant victories. He is a very attractive guy and would make a tremendous president.

  Author: Pat Robertson

• Mr. President, it may surprise my colleagues, but I am no fan of federal disaster programs for agriculture. They are difficult to pass and often a disaster to implement.

  Author: Pat Roberts

• Mr. President, I believe your real problem is that you have somehow been unable to realize that you have won, not only won, but been re-elected by a tremendous margin.

  Author: Elliot Richardson

• The vice president had a bargaining asset, however, that no ordinary person has: He was next in line to the presidency. I saw no chance that he would resign first, then take his chances on trial, conviction, and jail.

  Author: Elliot Richardson

  Author: Janet Reno

• So the president set out the policy guidance and said it had to take place in a multilateral fashion so that other countries in the region could be invested in the success of this process.

  Author: Mitchell Reiss
