“I can remember the morning after President Nixon won re-election in 19...” — Helen Thomas Quote

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.

I think Obama is handling his image very well, but I think he lacks boldness.

You don't spread democracy with a barrel of a gun.

I have a background and an understanding of what's happened in the Middle East that a lot of people don't have, because there's been no interest.

In Plains, I saw Jimmy Carter as he really is - a nice, decent man... in terms of compassionate contribution to society, he certainly has proven to be our best past president.

Even in normal times, a senior cabinet minister faces a workload that is relentless and crushing.

I suppose I write music for people, not for the filing cabinet or the museum.
