White House Press Secretaries

I think there was a willful pattern in this administration of downplaying terrorist attacks against our country.

The president was AWOL. He was still unable to offer any specifics when the nation needed it the most.

I think Mitt Romney actually is following the Reagan pattern.

I think you're within the margin of error in almost every one of those battleground states.

If the challenger in this economy can't get a lead on the president on that question, he won't win.

The Obama campaign which had stumbles early on is performing and executing pretty well right now.

The Democrats had a better convention from a messaging standpoint.

I think that's why he's come to a conclusion that nobody at the 9/11 Commission came to.

The Republicans are liars, they threaten democracy, they threaten America, and they're severely unhinged.

The heart of his charge is that George Bush knew 9/11 was coming and he neglected his duties and therefore he allowed it to happen. That's just a cleaned up version of trutherism.

Paul Ryan's budget eventually comes into balance. President Obama's never does.

Paul Ryan's budget eventually comes into balance.
