The taxpayers should pay no more than absolutely necessary to transport Government officials.

If you'll let me hear the truth of your feelings and your ideas, I think we can change this country.

We have an obligation and an opportunity to change the way Government works and to show that Government can do more with less.

The purpose of this order is to achieve real reductions in the administrative costs of Federal agencies.

Each executive department and agency shall terminate not less than one-third of the advisory committees subject to FACA.

I believe Government can both care about people and be careful with their money.

I'm going to keep trying to change, and I'm going to try to stay in touch with you this whole 4 years.

They voted for change.

I wish I knew how to have an immediate impact.

I am not going to roll over and play dead.

I believe I got elected on a commitment to change America, to create jobs, try to raise incomes, to face the health care crisis.

The important thing is not to balance the budget overnight but to put it on a steady and decided downward tack.

We can't have a job in a place where people can't walk to work safely.

We're going to fight to change.

These Executive orders are just a beginning, but they're a good beginning.

From now on agencies and departments will not be allowed to create new commissions without permission from OMB.

When I came here as a candidate for President, I didn't know whether I could do very well.

It isn't easy, I'll tell you that.
