Karen Hughes President Quotations

For the year after I left government service, I worked as a consultant to the Republican National Committee because the lawyers advised that was the proper way for me to comply with ethics regulations and continue to advise the President.

The President has a wonderful sense of humor, which is one of the reasons it is so much fun to work for him.

The person I work for, President Bush, is the first president in the history of America to say we believe the Palestinians should have a state, living side by side in peace with Israel,

Unlike Vice President Gore, Gov. Bush says what he means and means what he says. He has said all along, for more than a month now, he wants three debates: Today our campaign has agreed with the Gore campaign to have three debates.

What the president will talk about tonight is the fact that what we've learned in Afghanistan has made it clear that, far from ending there, our war against terrorism is only beginning.

I would venture to guess that 99.9 percent of most Americans and probably most candidates could not answer who is the president of Chechnya.

I think it's a very unseemly departure from tradition for the Senate majority leader to engage in that kind of partisanship when the U.S. president is carrying our country's message abroad.

President Bush is a leader who has very strong convictions and also a tremendous heart. He worked to achieve a solution that recognized the tremendous hopes of those who suffer from terrible illnesses and those who long for a cure, as we all do.

We recognized the President had to address what's on the nation's mind.

The president always says if you're a mom or a dad, your most important responsibility in life is to be a good mom or dad, and I believe that.

The facts are, Governor Bush provides a tax cut for every taxpayer at every income level in every bracket. Vice President Gore completely leaves out more than 50 percent of American taxpayers. More than 50 million people need not apply for one of Al Gore's targeted tax cuts.

We think the timing is wrong; it is simply not appropriate for this type of news to come out on Al Gore's big day. This election is not about President Clinton, it's about the future.

The person who is running for president is seeking to be the leader of the free world, not a Jeopardy contestant.

The president tonight will make the case that we now face a choice. We can continue that progress or we can turn back.

The President is opposed to amnesty because he thinks it would encourage further illegal immigration and reward those who broke the law.

Both President and Mrs. Bush feel strongly that out of the evil of Sept. 11 has come a great deal of good. As President Bush said, we're a nation awakened to terror but also a nation awakened to service, citizenship and compassion.

The governor has said he would not increase the age to qualify for Medicare, and he has made that abundantly clear on a number of occasions. If the vice president says otherwise, then he's deliberately engaging in falsehoods.

We wish (Coelho) well and hope his health improves, ... I wonder whether naming a new chairman involves yet another reinvention of the Gore campaign. Which Vice President Gore will campaign next week?

Vice President Gore has a carefully schooled and trained technique.

both a former president and a proud father.

The vice president has consistently and repeatedly made up things, exaggerated, embellished facts,

The vice president does a pretty good job of doing that himself.

This is an opportunity for the president to publicly thank the partners from around the world who are working with us on the war on terror,

This president has delivered on his promises, and is doing in office what he said he would do, and I think many liberals are just shocked by that.

The vote count on Tuesday night showed Governor Bush won Florida's election and a recount has now confirmed his victory. We hope Vice President Gore and his campaign will reconsider their threats of lawsuits or still more recounts which could undermine the constitutional process of selecting a president and have no foreseeable end.

We are all strong-willed, forceful personalities and the President encourages vigorous debate.
