American White House spokesman. b.1968 Popularity:
“We certainly understand frustration coming from people on the ground who are in need of help. And we will continue working to get them the assistance that they need,”
“The two presidents will consult on a number of bilateral and global issues and discuss ways to broaden and deepen the U.S.-Russian partnership in facing the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.”
“I know that there is discussion that is ongoing on that. And, certainly, I would expect a supplemental is something that is going to be needed in a situation like this.”
“[Even then, aides said yesterday that the president intended to elevate Roberts to chief justice whenever the job came open.] This had been something in the back of the president's mind in case such a scenario came into being, if the chief justice had retired, ... The president, when he met with [Roberts], knew he was a natural-born leader.”
“This had been something that had been in the president's thinking for some time Ñ in case the chief justice retired or that there otherwise was a vacancy. The president when he met with him, knew he was a natural born leader. The president knew Judge Roberts had the qualities to lead the court.”
“We believe they have enough time to move forward to meet that goal because of all the work that's already been done and Justice O'Connor had previously indicated that she was going to stay on the court until her position was filled.”
“[While not officially announcing a recess appointment yesterday, White House press secretary Scott McClellan left little doubt at his briefing that Bush would make such a move, noting that Bolton was needed to push through changes at the world body.] It's a critical time to be moving forward on this, ... The United Nations will be having their General Assembly meeting in September, and it's important that we get our permanent representative in place.”
