White House Press Secretaries

It's a very important statement about who Republicans are, what they believe in, that they're going to actually take this vote.

If he had kept that campaign tone immediately as part of his policies in 2009 and governed in a bipartisan way, it would have been very different measure.

Presidents have to rise above it, Anderson.

He can't lose. I don't think he could lose a primary but neither could George H.W. Bush lose a primary, but Pat Buchanan sure made his life miserable.

He was governing too far from the left for the first two years.

The tone is wrong. Presidents have to rise above, Anderson.

It's time for Charlie to acknowledge this is corruption.

If Charlie Rangel stays in Congress, it's a huge headache for the Democrats. If they don't have the courage to say that this is a dismissible act, then I hope Charlie Rangel has it in him to say, maybe my time has come to go, and I will…

It is time to repeal don't ask, don't tell. I think that gays in this country can serve in the military in the same outstanding ways that -- that straight soldiers and airmen and Marines and Coast Guard serve the country.

I think it will pass the House, I'll be curious about the Senate and it's an important part of how to eventually bring the deficit down. It's a great start.

If jobs don't get created and the economy stays weak, it's going to be terrible for Barack Obama and deservedly so.

Republicans have already come out for a freeze on all domestic discretionary spending at 2008 levels, which is a very significant cut to spending.

Barack Obama missed the boat on the core issues about spending, and now it's come back to bite him.

This was, across the board, a repudiation of Democrat ideology. Forget messaging.

The more the liberal media attack her... the more her supporters seem to rally around her and raise money for her.

She deserves scrutiny and she has to give answers. But, right now, all the arrows and all the darts are pointed at her, and her opponent has been given a total free pass.

These ideological struggles within parties also can be healthy.

These are legitimate issues she has to deal with.

This is a candidate who has had trouble with money, trouble with jobs, trouble with the truth.

There is a piling-on factor that doesn't similarly happen when there are candidates on the other side of the aisle.

If gaffes disqualify you from office, Joe Biden never would have made it to the vice presidency.

Where is the coverage of Charlie Rangel's win in Harlem, where you have one of the most corrupt members of Congress who got reaffirmed by the people of his district to come back to Washington?

Well, no, I think these are issues that she's going to have to deal with. That's what campaigns are about.

This is the night that President Obama said thanks to the military; our troops are coming home.
