White House Press Secretaries

We can't have a debt this high.

Barack Obama's issue today is debt. It's his job to deal with it.

If we don't do anything about our debt we're risking the full faith and credit of the United States.

Every president has to deal with the issues that are on the plate in the era in which they serve.

Barack Obama was a United States senator, he opposed raising the debt limit. He called it unpatriotic to raise the debt limit.

If we don't do anything about our debt, we're risking the full faith and credit of the United States.

But President Obama's budget, if he gets everything he's asked for, would increase it by $10 trillion, twice the amount.

Twenty-three million unemployed, 8.1 percent unemployment is pretty good?

If they're a vulture, the private sector is a vulture. That's the problem I have with President Obama at large. That's why the private economy is so hurting in this -- under the Obama years and the only group that's doing well is the…

You're not going to see a surge in job creation in this country so long as President Obama sits in the White House.

It's unfair but it's worse than that because it's really an indication of the president's world eye view.

I think what you're hearing is in 2012 the president will run a blame and blame and complain and not solve. That's a formula to be a one-term president.

Barack Obama will only attack anybody if they ever let somebody go in their job, if they ever laid somebody off in their job. It's fundamentally anti-capitalist.

You wonder why the private sector in America, the business community is not generating jobs... it's because they don't trust President Obama because he is so anti-business.

This was just comical. He's saying all these social issues front and center?

Look, the Tea Party has been a healthy injection in the Republican Party. It's really brought Republicans back the meaning -- when we say we're fiscal conservatives. To do something to save this country and our children from debt.

This is the problem when you've been in Washington so long, you forget who elected you, and you forget your people back home.

The government spends so much. We're all in deficits, we're all debt, we're all going broke.

President Obama is the one who extended the tax cuts for all Americans, not just one bracket. All Americans.

The bigger problem here, Anderson, is when people say you can't cut anything and they then turn it into one of this manufactured war against women, war against children, this is why the government is so big, spends so much, and we have…

This is a total case of being absolute double standard by the Democrats on this issue. President Obama proposed a $4 billion 10-year cut in this very same program.

I think the bigger substantive issue, though, in Afghanistan is the place is still a mess. You know, the president said tonight that in the last three years the tide has turned. Since he became president, he said the tide has turned. I…

I think you've witnessed the power of incumbency, Anderson.

I think you have witnessed the power of incumbency, Anderson. This is what presidents do. This is what commanders in chief can do.
