Political Quotes

“Bob served as Acting Director of CBO from November 25, 2008, to January 22, 2009, before becoming senior adviser to the Director and unofficial quality control officer for CBO's written products. Douglas Holtz-Eakin, CBO's Director from 2003 to 2005, described Bob as ``the living heart of CBO.'' Peter Orszag, CBO's Director from 2007 to 2008 said, ``It is no exaggeration to say that CBO is what it is today--rigorous, independent, and widely respected--in no small part because of Bob Sunshine. For nearly half a century, he has worked in service of facts, good analysis, and sound policymaking.'' Bob is highly regarded on both sides of the aisle for his deep knowledge of the budget process and commitment to CBO's role in that process. But as his colleagues have said, it is his personal ethic--his optimism and thoughtful consideration for his friends and colleagues--that truly defines him. We thank Bob for his decades of service and wish him the best in the years to come. ____________________”
