George W. Bush

The job of OMB Director is one of the most important in our Federal Government.

Rob is a tough act to follow, but that's why I picked Jim Nussle.

We're proud to be serving with you.

God bless you, and may God bless America.

Thanks for coming, Paul.

Jim Nussle is the right man to take on these challenges.

Occasionally, we might have our differences, but one thing we all agree on is, we represent the greatest country on the face of the Earth.

It remains a major national security goal of the United States to ensure that fissile material removed from Russian nuclear weapons is dedicated to peaceful uses.

Jim's name and knowledge command respect on Capitol Hill.

If I were an Israeli citizen, I would view that as a serious threat to my security.

Thank you for standing by your spouse.

We share a common vision of two states living side by side in peace.

I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to weapons-usable fissile material in the territory of the Russian Federation.

I appreciate the fact that you're champions on the field and champions off the field.

That means being a champ off the field.

After all, this is the largest gathering that we've had for champions day, and we're glad to welcome the champs here to the South Lawn.

It's hard enough to win; it's really hard to repeat.

You have achieved the great title, 'champion,' and nobody can take that away from you.

We honor America's champs.

I will not accept an irresponsible tax-and-spend budget.

I've also proposed policies that would slow the unsustainable growth of our most serious long-term fiscal challenge: entitlement spending.

I will use my veto to stop tax increases and runaway spending that threaten the strength of our economy and the prosperity of our people.

The American people need to hold House Democrats accountable for keeping that commitment.

Earmarks are spending provisions that are slipped into bills by individual Members of Congress, often at the last hour and without discussion or debate.

Our economy has added more than 8 million new jobs.
