George H.W. Bush: “Listen, I enjoyed having you. I see John Sununu. I think those of you, as we tried to get through that Medicaid problem…”

“Listen, I enjoyed having you. I see John Sununu. I think those of you, as we tried to get through that Medicaid problem, you had an inside voice here. [Laughter] And I really think he deserves credit for the fact we were able to reach agreement that brought some relief and, I wouldn't say joy, but at least less concern to the Governors around the table. I'm very grateful to him and Dick also. But it required some skill up on the Hill, too, which he demonstrated. But in any event, thank you all very much. And I appreciate the spirit of this visit, and look forward to doing this again. Thank you very much. Note: The President spoke at 11:15 a.m. in the East Room at the White House.”
