George H. W. Bush

"I will never apologize for the United States of America. Ever. I dont care what the facts are."

"My dog Millie knows more about foreign affairs than these two bozos."

"The demise of communism wasnt a sure thing. It took the strong leadership of Presidents from both parties, including Republicans like Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. Without their vision and the support of the American people, the Soviet Union would be a strong superpower today, and wed be facing a nuclear threat tonight."

"Even though Im a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the identity of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors."

"The Government is here to serve, but it cannot replace individual service. And shouldnt all of us who are public servants also set an example of service as private citizens? So, I want to ask all of you, and all the appointees in this administration, to do what so many of you already do: to reach out and lend a hand. Ours should be a nation characterized by conspicuous compassion, generosity that is overflowing and abundant."

"We love your adherence to democratic principles and to the democratic process."
