Wars are fought on objectives, not on timetable, and that's why I've been so insistent upon not allowing ourselves to have policy driven by time table, but by objective.

George W. Bush
I inherited half my father's friends and all his enemies
George W. Bush
A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it. Dealing with Congress is a matter of give and take. The president doesn't get everything he wants, the Congress doesn't get everything they want. But we're finding good common ground.
George W. Bush
My administration is committed to a leadership role on the issue of climate change.
