41 " I think it eminently proper that a president should retire from active politics, and equally proper that he should be able to live in quiet independence. "
42 " I'm sure that was the right step, even though, formally speaking, it may seem disadvantageous for a president to resign. But, looking into what is happening today and what is going to happen in the future, I think history will show I made the right decision. "
43 " We stand a chance of getting a president who has probably killed more people before he gets into office than any president in the history of the United States. "
44 " Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country. "
45 " I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life's work shows our children that we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves: we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed. "
46 " I want a president with a record of public service: someone whose life's work shows our children that we don't chase form and fortune for ourselves we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed. "
47 " I can't think of a president who has been overburdened by a knowledge of economics. "
48 " We shouldn't be debating whether to deal with the current code by allowing it to be extended or not. We should have a president who shows leadership and comes to Congress and says: 'You know what? We need to reform this whole tax code.' "
49 " You can't consider a president weak because he will have a Congress that Mexican voters have wanted to be co-responsible in the decisions to be taken... It will be through the leadership that I will exercise that we will be able to build the agreements in Congress. "
50 " In our system leadership is by consent, not command. To lead a President must persuade. Personal contacts and experiences help shape his thinking. They can be critical to his persuasiveness and thus to his leadership. "
51 " America needs jobs, smaller government, less spending and a president with the courage to offer more than yet another speech. "
52 " And I think most people in this country want to see a president that's got the courage to say we're going to cut the tax burden, and reduce the regulatory climate, and we're going to get Americans working. "
53 " The problem with State of the Union speeches is that they are, by their nature and design, alphabet soup. It's hard to know what a president really cares about when they run down a laundry list and check every issue box under the sun for fear they will offend some constituency if they don't. "

"
55 " My publicist told me not to talk about politics but, yes, I think we have a president who stole the election. "

59 " I can tell you, Obamacare, I have been stunned by the pratfalls associated with its implementation. I simply can't understand how a president that had such an effective technology campaign and has such support among the technology community members could have put in place the implementation of Obamacare as ineffectively as he did. "
60 " Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven't had one since Taft. Look at the United States, they have not had one since Lincoln. "
