Beholden Quotations
Beholden Quotes from:
-
Barack Quotes
Eisenhower was less deferential to the military than he seemed likely to be, Kennedy was not at all beholden to the pope, George W. Bush was smarter than portrayed and Barack Obama has not led a charge from the left - least of all on behalf of the civil liberties that have eroded since September 11, 2001.
-
Congress Quotes
The American people need a Congress and an administration that will get tough on trade policy to rein in these runaway deficits. When you look at trade deficits in the context of growing foreign ownership of our national debt, you see that we're increasingly beholden to the very countries whose markets we'd like to open to American goods. Unless we reverse this dangerous trend, we'll soon find ourselves without negotiating leverage to promote our trade agenda.

Biggest Quotes
Telecom is realizing that they can end-run the networks. For content producers such as ourselves, it's a very dynamic time, because we now have an alternative. We don't have to be beholden to just the broadcasters. They're still the largest way to reach the biggest audience. I don't expect they'll ever go away, but I do think that, in five years, half of the media we consume will be on-demand, and the other half will be linear.
-
Ball Quotes
They are very well-rounded. They have a great inside game and support it with great shooters, players who can handle the ball with the mid-range game. They don't have a weakness offensively. That's why you see them averaging 83 points a game. When you have that kind of versatility, you're never beholden into one place, one position, one style, or any type of shot.

Human Quotes
Independent documentary isn't beholden to some of the interests that the mainstream media are influenced by. It's a pathway to renegade, independent reporting in an in-depth, investigative fashion, and it can do so with a compassionate lens; it allows people to speak in a way that is more human than the mainstream media approach.
-
Commitment Quotes
I don't see her beholden to Bush. Because of this fastidious commitment to doing the right thing, she will get in there and understand the rules of the game, what the Court's already decided, and what did the legislation or administration rules say that defined the scope of conduct.
-
Abandon Quotes
It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government." This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. (October 27, 1964)
