White House Press Secretaries

It's both sides. You can't blame one party.

Their view is what the president did blew up any chance of getting any type of thing, any type of bipartisan action together on Capitol Hill, that the president in taking executive action and just doing such a narrow slice of has poisoned…

This just says he's going to stop the administration from deporting children. That's all he really is doing in this change that he's making.

The only way it goes away is if job creation in this country gets strong, and I don't know an economist who believes that will be the case.

To quote the president, the private sector's doing just fine.

I think frankly the October surprise of this election will be the bottom falls out on President Obama's numbers and Mitt Romney will probably win a comfortable election.

Governor Romney wants to create jobs through the private sector. The president wants to create jobs through the public sector, through the government.

The issue here as Jessica pointed out, philosophical. President Obama believes the way you grow the economy is having the government find reasons to hire more people.

The president basically said all those rich people, they are just doing fine.

President Obama believes that the way you grow our economy is by having the government find more reasons to hire more people. Mitt Romney believes the way you grow the economy is by having a private sector thrive so it can hire more people.

If the economy is still in a recession, it's very hard to see how Barack Obama can win re-election.

I think that's a harbinger something even bigger than this year's presidential election. And it's a harbinger for reform.

The biggest thing, in my opinion here, we should get rid of recalls. It's such a bad mechanism for good government. Doesn't matter what party you are. Run, serve your term, and take your stand when you're supposed to take your stand. And…

If you go back to when President Obama was elected, really on the anti-Bush, anti-Iraq mood of the country and a surge for President Obama. He has not had any good domestic election results since.

I have a hard time seeing big labor returning to Wisconsin this fall to put in a lot of effort for President Obama since he didn't show up there for them this year.

If you're the president, you want to make it all about Mitt Romney.

If you're Governor Romney, you want to make it a referendum about how bad the economy is.

If you're the president you want to make it all about Mitt Romney. I think that's why they're going so hard after Bain.

You can't avoid it, but that's what good campaigning comes down to.

Yes. And kudos to Bill. That's a very frank acknowledgment.

Barack Obama doesn't... have this distrust of all things private, private economy, the private sector.

He acts as if none of his policies have anything to do with the bad economy that we have right now.

I think when you look at his record in its totality and you look at the reputation he has as a fixer of economies, that's what this election is going to come down to.

I think this is a debate that actually helps Mitt Romney. The more this election is fought over economic matters, the economy...
