More quotes by Helen Thomas
I think Obama is handling his image very well, but I think he lacks boldness.
Helen Thomas
You didn't tell a lie, you just left a big hole in the truth.
Helen Thomas
The White House used to belong to the American people. At least that's what I learned from history books and from covering every president starting with John F. Kennedy.
Helen Thomas
I don't think there are any rude questions.
Helen Thomas
Life is too short to drink the house wine.
Helen Thomas
We are the only institution in our society that can question a president on a regular basis and make him accountable. Otherwise, he could be king.
Helen Thomas
I covered two presidents, LBJ and Nixon, who could no longer convince, persuade, or govern, once people had decided they had no credibility, but we seem to be more tolerant now of what I think we should not tolerate.
Helen Thomas
You cannot have a democracy without an informed people.
Helen Thomas
When you're in the news business, you always expect the unexpected.
Helen Thomas
But when will our leaders learn - war is not the answer.
Helen Thomas
We got the vote, which we should've been born with, in 1920. Everything we've had to struggle for - it's ridiculous.
Helen Thomas
I never thought about heaven per se. I think when you're dead, you're dead. If anything happens after that, you just hope you don't go to hell.
Helen Thomas
If we lose our title of land of the free, what have we got?
Helen Thomas
People will never know how hard it is to get information, especially if it's locked up behind official doors where, if politicians had their way, they'd stamp 'top secret' on the color of the walls.
Helen Thomas
I love my work, and I think that I was so lucky to pick a profession where it's a joy to go to work every day.
Helen Thomas
I wrote that President Bush is passing on to President-elect Obama two wars and an economic debacle. I call it a depression. And he is arming Israel against the Palestinians in every way in Gaza.
Helen Thomas
I can remember the morning after President Nixon won re-election in 1972. His chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, called a Cabinet meeting and told the members: 'You are all a bunch of burned-out volcanoes' and asked for their resignations.
Helen Thomas
I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians. They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon.
Helen Thomas
I think that presidents deserve to be questioned. Maybe irreverently, most of the time. Bring 'em down a size. You see a president, ask a question. You have one chance in the barrel. Don't blow it.
Helen Thomas
All presidents rail against the press. It goes with the turf.
