I was born in a lovely white house with a garden.

My new mission is, and I’ve said this to the White House, I want the Buy America to be real.

If we steal a man’s purse we are thieves. If we steal twelve hundred islands we are patriots. If you steal a man’s money you will be sent to the penitentiary. If you steal his liberty you will be sent to the White House.

[White House is] the finest prison in the world.

I think in the end we will have negotiations with the House. They don’t have any incentive for a long, drawn-out trial. We’ll have negotiations with the White House.

I chose as my target the University of Mississippi, which in 1960 was the holiest temple of white supremacy in America, next to the U.S. Capitol and the White House, both of which were under the control of segregationists and their collaborators.
The White House is the people’s house. When you do historical restoration, that must be what it is.

It’s time for the bully pulpit of the White House to bring the gangstas in, put them around the table and let them know that if they don’t come up with loan modifications and keep people in their homes that they’ve worked so hard for, we’re gonna tax them out of business.
I did a lot of work on energy efficiency at the White House. By the time I left we had taken the equivalent of six hundred cars a year off the road in reduced greenhouse gas emissions just in the White House complex.

Hillary Clinton’s such a classic Democratic political figure and believes so much in institutions and in gradualism in the old way of reaching compromises with the opposition in the back rooms. That’s what she did in Congress. It’s what I imagine she’ll try to do in the White House.
It’s time to restore honor and dignity to the White House.
Almost the first thing Obama did in the White House was to return the bust of Winston Churchill to the British embassy. That suggests a major re-ordering of things.

I’m not going to comment on White House personnel selections.
I remember having lunch with a friend who worked at the White House. I’d just graduated from law school but kept telling my friend what they needed to do and weren’t doing right about the Iran-Contra affair. The next day, I got a call from the White House, offering me a job.

Jeb Bush gave a speech yesterday. He had a pretty rough time. He accidentally said that ISIS has 200,000 men instead of 20,000, and then he mispronounced the name of the terrorist group Boko Haram. So if history has taught us anything, Jeb is well on his way to winning the White House.

I came here with a lot of things that I would like to get done for my community and my constituents. Shooting hoops at the White House was not at the top of the list but would certainly be a thrill.

From where you sit, the White House may look as untidy as the inside of a stomach. As is said of the legislative process, sausage-making and policy-making shouldn’t be seen close-up. Don’t let that panic you. Things may be going better than they look from the inside.
You as the press secretary have to protect the president’s interests and the White House’s interests more broadly.

I got Type 1 diabetes at 30. It hit me in 1982 when I was a White House Fellow in Washington. I had viral pneumonia. I lost 35 pounds in six weeks. And I couldn’t see anything. Everything was blurry. I was always thirsty.
There is no law that guarantees press access to the White House. Communication was lessening during the Obama years. There was every reason to suspect that Trump was going to create an adversarial relationship and that people were going to be faced with the impossible dilemma between sort-of-complicity and access.
This is part of the core media strategy out of Trump’s White House: to use federal troops to bolster his sagging poll data. And it is an absolute abuse of federal law enforcement officials.
What matters most is not who is sitting in the White House, but “who is sitting in” – and who is marching outside the White House, pushing for change.

The White House would love to see Obamacare taken apart all at once, bit by bit, however we can do it.

But I do think it’s unwise, and it – to build a mosque at the site where 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of a terrorist attack.

The Secret Service said there have been 40 fence-jumping incidents at the White House in the past five years. Half of them were intruders trying to get in. The other half was President Obama trying to get out.

I guess I would use my son’s word: cool. It was cool to work in the White House.

The evil is in the White House at the present time.
This is really what the White House is all about. It’s the “People’s House.” It’s a place that is steeped in history, but it’s also a place where everyone should feel welcome. And that’s why my husband and I have made it our mission to open up the house to as many people as we can.

I spent a weekend in the White House with President Clinton, back in ’99, I guess. We played golf and just hung out and talked on many subjects. I saw him several times subsequently in L.A. He’s the smartest man I ever met, a great politician. Everybody was star struck around him.

I just want to remind people that the task of those who support reproductive rights and reproductive justice didn’t change based on who is in the White House. We have leadership that is not supportive of what we’re trying to do, but the demand for justice shouldn’t be modulated.

I’ve spent so many years talking about lame ducks in the White House and Congress, and it’s never occurred to me to find out what the heck it means.

I volunteered 35 years ago to go to Vietnam and the guy I was running against got out of going to Vietnam with a trick knee! I was an author of the homeland security bill, for goodness’ sake!

[Sean] Spicer`s message echoed what President Trump tweeted.The so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists. Sad.But underneath those dismissals, lies and urgency inside the White House to figure this out, and quickly.
If you want to – if you want to engage in conspiracy theories that the White House and the vice president intended no one to ever know – like “The New York Times” – we would have been kept in the dark forever. I just think that’s completely irrational.
Melania [Trump] is terrific. I think that Melania will be outstanding. She just opened up the visitor center, in other words touring of the White House. She, like others that she’s working with, feel very, very strongly about women’s issues, women’s difficulties.

What’s the legacy of President Obama? I think this is just another, another example of passing the buck. It never stops at the White House.
The far more likely Trump scenario is this: Chinese leaders realize they no longer have a weak leader in the White House; China ceases its unfair trade practices.

Until the President produces a responsible deficit reduction plan, I’m not going to the White House to negotiate with myself.

The White House announced on Monday the Prime Minister of Australia will visit President Bush in September. We have a lot in common. Australia started out as a prison colony, while the United States has evolved into one.

You never know when people with sick minds can destroy your life. It doesn’t matter how well life is going on for you that moment. If that can’t happen in the middle of New York City, it can happen anywhere else. If the terrorists can hit the Pentagon or the White House I don’t see where it’s safe.
My take is this. The Republicans control the Senate. They have the majority of the House, and they have the White House. They can do whatever they want to do, really.
There have not been children of comparable youth in the White House since the Kennedy era.
After I left the White House, I kept a foothold in the business of American politics; as a talk-show host, analyst, commentator, speechmaker, and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner, but I was still a partisan, a Democrat, a blue-stater through and through.
Whether you’re a second lieutenant working with a captain and a lieutenant colonel, or a four-star general working with the Office Secretary of Defense and the White House, the decision makers have got to have ground truth.

During Grover Cleveland’s second term, in the 1890s, the White House deceived the public by dismissing allegations that surgeons had removed a cancerous growth from the President’s mouth; a vulcanized-rubber prosthesis disguised the absence of much of Cleveland’s upper left jaw and part of his palate.
I think more than any point in history… part of the job of the White House press secretary is to rebuild trust with the American people.
The White House used to belong to the American people. At least that’s what I learned from history books and from covering every president starting with John F. Kennedy.

Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street are owned by the Zionists.
I learned more in those six months [ in the White House] than in the prior six years. I don’t think that anybody who has had the privilege to serve the country at that level should walk out and behave like a crybaby. And I plan to continue to serve the country in other capacities.
President Trump is bringing a very candid – and direct type of leadership to the White House. And in conversations with leaders around the world, frankly, I think they all find it very refreshing.

In the current [Carter] administration, who can use the White House swimming pool and tennis courts is decided at the very highest level. President Ford did not bother himself with such minor details. He let me swim in the pool. He only got upset when I tried to walk across the water.
During the fall of my junior year, I interned in Intergovernmental Affairs in The White House with a focus on outreach to local elected officials. Although I hated the menial tasks the job required, it gave me a window into the power of local government.

If you look at the Constitution, the two clauses of the Constitution make it very clear the president shall nominate, and the Senate shall provide advice and consent. It’s been since 1888 that a Senate of a different party than the president in the White House confirmed a Supreme Court nominee.

Do we really want another politician in the White House America can’t trust?

All of our presidents come into office looking so vigorous … They grow grayer and grayer, and by the time they leave, they’re as white as the building they live in … I have one big advantage: I’ve been coloring my hair for years. So you’re not going to see me turn white in the White House.
Official motto of the White House economic team: Those who can, do. Those who can’t, fantasize in the classroom, fail in Washington and then return to the Ivy Tower to train the next generation of egghead economic saboteurs. Life is good for left-wing academics. Everyone else pays dearly.
To me, it’s the White House and always will be.
Do you know what White House correspondents call actors who pose as reporters? Anchors.
And so, as they climb the ladder of achievement, I’d simply say, remember what Barbara Bush told those girls at Wellesley: “What happens in your house is more important than what happens in the White House.”
The White House has finally found one guy that kinda remembers serving with President Bush in the National Guard.

The White House should always be a friend to American freedom.

I will say that I appreciate Hillary Clinton’s awareness and passion for women. I think she is overqualified in the sense that she’s been in the White House, so she knows the drill. I am hopeful that she will continue to support minorities and create better opportunities.
Increasingly, I wonder if there are any outrages that would be sufficiently ominous in their effects upon liberty and unequivocal in their moral perversity to awaken the American people to the tyrannical spirit that envelopes the Clinton White House.
I never set out to work in the White House.
Reparations, I believe, are talked about for political reasons, trying to cater for the purpose of getting votes.

Let’s face it, the White House is a treacherous place.
Once at the White House I was asked to conduct the Drum and Bugle Corp. The man just handed me the baton and I finished the song. It was great. I got to keep the baton.

Bush is a frat boy in the White House but we’ve had that before. But I wasn’t one of those people that was threatening to leave the country. By the way none of those people have left the country. Alec Baldwin is still here.

The fact is, if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill; to end the bailouts; cut spending; and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won’t veto any of these things.
I worked for the Office of Management and Budget in the White House, on nuclear energy policy. But I decided it would be much more fun to have a specialty food store, so I left Washington D.C. and moved to the Hamptons. And how glad I am that I did!
It was impossible for Hillary Clinton to have chosen a path to the White House that bypassed the loathing, jeering derision and gendered stereotyping built on two centuries of male power. What was interesting was how hard she tried to do just that.
It was a show where you were given a quote out of current events and you had to identify who said it. I was reading eight newspapers a day and had compiled a file of about 300 quotes. I really had to do my research. The White House press didn’t have to bone up on any of it.
I will seek the presidency with nothing to fall back on but the judgment of the people, and nowhere to go but the White House or home.

I have a running conversation with a couple of colleagues. Mike Schmidt’s one of them; some on my White House team are others; Alex Burns on the politics team is another. That just helps me not lose my place, right? We’re just constantly talking about what we’re hearing and where things are.
Congress, the White House, and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists.
I think that the public debate that we had on the Iran deal was very important. That’s probably one of the most consequential things most of us will ever vote on ; a nuclear arms control agreement with a mortal enemy. And the White House – despite all their efforts – failed miserably.
We’re never going to satisfy the White House press corps and their desires for access. And I think there have been mistakes made in the past of trying to do that.
Earlier today, the White House released President Bush’s tax return. Not surprisingly, under dependents, the president listed Iraq

I worked on Capitol Hill, I worked in the White House and I’ve worked in politics enough to be familiar with the basic broadstrokes of public policy.

The Republican Party cannot win the White House anymore with just conservative and Republican votes.

The solidarity – now, you can`t challenge [Donald Trump] until he gets there [White House], but let me tell you, we are united. We are going to do our job.
I met Donald Trump in 2003 on a reality show. Could you ever imagine then that we would end up in the White House together?
I can’t really criticize the Tea Party people, because I came into the White House pretty much on the same basis that they have become popular. That is dissatisfaction with the way things are going in Washington and disillusionment and disencouragement about the government.
John McCain is now openly endorsing the policies of the Bush-Cheney White House and promising to actually continue the same policies over again? Hey, I believe in recycling but that’s ridiculous.
When Trump took office, it didn’t matter if you’d covered the White House for 10 years or 10 minutes. No one knew what to expect. We would be told about press conferences a few minutes before.
The moment I decided to blow the whistle on a lot of the corruption going on in the White House, there are protections that are afforded to me.
While I’m critical to the Bush presidency, it’s been enormously beneficial for Salon because we’re seen as kind of an aggressive watchdog on the Bush White House. Particularly since Florida, our readership hit a whole new level, and we held onto those readers.
The White House has announced that they no longer recognize Fox as a news organization, which puts them about eight years behind the rest of us.

This week a man was arrested for jumping over the White House fence and trying to spray paint a political message. If that guy really wanted to get a message to the president, he could have just written it in an email to literally anyone.

The campaign for the White House is heating up with John Kerry taking heat for throwing his Vietnam medals away, getting a $1000 haircut, and wearing a 1970s wig known as ‘the Leno.’ There are really two sides to this story. And America can’t wait for Kerry to present both of them.
George W. Bush was a silver spoon dolt with no record to speak of other than bankruptcy and selling tropical plants, and we let him sail into the White House, but Barack talks about religious fundamentalism and guns being prevalent in poor areas, and we roast him for weeks?
One: Make Congress and the White House obey the same Obamacare rules you do. Two: Obama let business off for a year; we want workers to be let off for a year too. That’s the GOP plan. What part don’t you like?
I wish I had known more firsthand about the concerns and problems of American businesspeople while I was a U.S. senator and later a presidential nominee. That knowledge would have made me a better legislator and a more worthy aspirant to the White House.

Do you really want to put a woman into the White House who supports the greatest assault on women of all? And that is murdering them in the womb before they have a chance to be born.
Let’s be very honest about what this is about. It’s not about bashing Democrats, it’s not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don’t know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up.
I guess the most famous person I was so extremely exhilarated by being with – and actually sat next to her at a luncheon at the White House – was Mrs. Obama.
You couldn’t even prove the White House staff sane beyond a reasonable doubt.
For some of us it seems like yesterday when Ike was in the White House, the U.S. Senate censured Joe McCarthy, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that racial segregation in public school was unconstitutional.
It is long overdue that we have a woman as a legitimate contender for the White House. But Hillary Clinton is the definition of the establishment so many are determined to reject.

I have personal experience dancing with someone who is a Republican and someone who worked for the White House.
If fences don’t work, why is there one around the White House.

Your success as a family… our success as a nation… depends not on what happens inside the White House, but on what happens inside your house.

And who knows? Somewhere out in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow in my footsteps, and preside over the White House as the President’s spouse. I wish him well!
President Bush said this Iraq situation looks like ‘the rerun of a bad movie.’ Well sure, there’s a Bush in the White House, the economy’s going to hell, we’re going to war over oil. I’ve seen this movie, haven’t I?
When I was growing up, we learned our history almost as lives of the saints. And it came as a shock, “Oh, Jefferson had slaves?” It always comes as a shock to us that elevation to the White House didn’t somehow cleanse them of all their deep character flaws.
We’ve got to realize there’s something bigger than who is in the White House. And that is the spirit of camaraderie and peace that keeps our nation together.
Whenever we have had a need for a national security or public safety issue, Congress has always followed the recommendations of the White House, regardless of who is in control, giving them the resources to keep America safe and to enforce our laws.

We shall sooner have the fowl by hatching the egg than by smashing it.

Or arm th’ obdured breast
With stubborn patience as with triple steel.

Once the day’s work starts there is little chance to walk, to ride or to take part in a game. Taking walks or rides early in the morning is a lonesome business, and the inevitable Secret Service guard when the president leaves the White House grounds is not enlivening company.
I said in 2004,in fact a group was sent to me from the White House to try talk to me, because I was getting a lot of publicity.I said it in 2004, you’re going to destabilize the Middle East, Iran is going to take over Iraq… and somebody else is going to help and that turned out to be ISIS. It’s an exact.
I’m working alongside the White House and other members in the House to lessen the tax burden that currently weighs on so many Oklahomans.
National security advisors, like White House Chiefs of Staff, their job generally if they`re – if they`re competent and qualified and effective is to be honest brokers in the White House.

I’d worked at the White House for two years, and I’d read a bunch of White House memoirs because everybody who works at the White House, even for five minutes, writes a memoir usually not less than 600 pages long – and never without the word ‘power’ in the title.
Anybody who gets into bed and turns out the lights the first night in the White House probably feels a little bit of a start, where you say, “Goodness … ”

One lesson I have learned the hard way, and there will not be any such thing in the White House. Although, I am quick to add, there’s no evidence that it was ever hacked. And unfortunately, you can’t say that for a lot of the government.
So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

I think it’s time we had a president who carried the same life experiences into the White House as most ordinary Americans.
