66. Home of the Literacy Testers
"I'm the commander-see, I don't need to explain-I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being President."
George W. Bush, President of the United States of America

On Education:

"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?" "Why don't you mentor a child how to read?" "Reading is the basics for all learning." "You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.'' "I love the idea of a school in which people come to get educated and stay in the state in which they're educated." "So community colleges are accessible, they're available, they're affordable, and their curriculums don't get stuck. In other words, if there's a need for a certain kind of worker, I presume your curriculums evolved over time." "I mean, if you've ever been a governor of a state, you understand the vast potential of broadband technology, you understand how hard it is to make sure that physics, for example, is taught in every classroom in the state. It's difficult to do. It's, like, cost-prohibitive." "Without data, without facts, without information, the discussions about public education mean that a person is just another opinion." "It is time to set aside the old partisan bickering and finger-pointing and name-calling that comes from freeing parents to make different choices for their children."

"I want it to be said that the Bush administration was a results-oriented administration, because I believe the results of focusing our attention and energy on teaching children to read and having an education system that's responsive to the child and to the parents, as opposed to mired in a system that refuses to change, will make America what we want it to be, a more literate country and a hopefuller country."

68. Home of the Weapons of Mass Destruction
On Weapons of Mass Destruction:

"There is no such thing necessarily in a dictatorial regime of iron-clad absolutely solid evidence. The evidence I had was the best possible evidence that he had a weapon." "We've got hundreds of sites to exploit, looking for the chemical and biological weapons that we know Saddam Hussein had prior to our entrance into Iraq." "See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."

On War:

"I think war is a dangerous place."

On Terrorism:

"People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you." "When I was coming up, it was a dangerous world, and you knew exactly who they were. It was us versus them, and it was clear who them was. Today we are not so sure who the they are, but we know they're there." "The best way to find these terrorists who hide in holes is to get people coming forth to describe the location of the hole, is to give clues and data." "Free societies are hopeful societies. And free societies will be allies against these hateful few who have no conscience, who kill at the whim of a hat." "The suicide bombings have increased. There's too many of them."

On National Defense:

"Security is the essential roadblock to achieving the road map to peace." "I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace." "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." "We will make sure our troops have all that is necessary to complete their missions. That's why I went to the Congress last September and proposed fundamental supplemental funding, which is money for armor and body parts and ammunition and fuel."

"But the true threats to stability and peace are these nations that are not very transparent, that hide behind the -- that don't let people in to take a look and see what they're up to. They're very kind of authoritarian regimes. The true threat is whether or not one of these people decide, peak of anger, try to hold us hostage, ourselves; the Israelis, for example, to whom we'll defend, offer our defenses; the South Koreans." "Redefining the role of the United States from enablers to keep the peace to enablers to keep the peace from peacekeepers is going to be an assignment."

On the War on Iraq:

"I wish I wasn't the war president. Who in the heck wants to be a war president? I don't." "I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people think, because I live in America, where it's nice and safe and secure." "Had we to do it over again, we would look at the consequences of catastrophic success, being so successful so fast that an enemy that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to fight another day." "CIA laid out several scenarios and said life could be lousy, life could be OK, life could be better, and they were just guessing as to what the conditions might be like." "Coalition forces have encountered serious violence in some areas of Iraq. Our military commanders report that this violence is being instigated by three groups." "My answer is bring them on." "The enemy understands a free Iraq will be a major defeat in their ideology of hatred. That's why they're fighting so vociferously." "Like you, I have been disgraced about what I've seen on TV that took place in prison."

"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein." "The ambassador and the general were briefing me on the -- the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice."

69. Home of the Economists
On the Budget:

"It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it."

On Economics and the Economy

"I understand small business growth, I was one." "It's very important for folks to understand that when there's more trade, there's more commerce." "If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow." "Recession means that people's incomes, at the employer level, are going down, basically, relative to costs, people are getting laid off." "The march to war hurt the economy. Laura reminded me a while ago that remember what was on the TV screens -- she calls me, 'George W.' -- 'George W.' I call her, 'First Lady.' No, anyway -- she said, we said, march to war on our TV screen." "The march to war affected the people's confidence. It's hard to make investment. See, if you're a small business owner or a large business owner and you're thinking about investing, you've got to be optimistic when you invest. Except when you're marching to war, it's not a very optimistic thought, is it? In other words, it's the opposite of optimistic when you're thinking you're going to war." "The recession started upon my arrival. It could have been -- some say February, some say March, some speculate maybe earlier it started -- but nevertheless, it happened as we showed up here. The attacks on our country affected our economy. Corporate scandals affected the confidence of people and therefore affected the economy. My decision on Iraq, this kind of march to war, affected the economy." "See, without the tax relief package, there would have been a deficit, but there wouldn't have been the commiserate -- not 'commiserate' -- the kick to our economy that occurred as a result of the tax relief." "I also understand how tender the free enterprise system can be."

"I recently met with the finance minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of finances."

On the Budget:

"It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it."

70. Home of the Theologists
On Theology:

"Our priorities is our faith." "I don't bring God into my life to -- to, you know, kind of be a political person." "God loves you, and I love you. And you can count on both of us as a powerful message that people who wonder about their future can hear." "I couldn't imagine somebody like Osama bin Laden understanding the joy of Hanukkah." "More Muslims have died at the hands of killers than -- I say more Muslims -- a lot of Muslims have died -- I don't know the exact count -- at Istanbul. Look at these different places around the world where there's been tremendous death and destruction because killers kill." "I appreciate that question because I, in the state of Texas, had heard a lot of discussion about a faith-based initiative eroding the important bridge between church and state."

"I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to answer questions. I can't answer your question."

73. Home of the Dyslexics
On Dyslexia

"The woman who knew that I had dyslexia. I never interviewed her."

On You, the Voter:

"If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign." "As you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say."

"I hope you leave here and walk out and say, 'What did he say?'"

78. Home of the Rich People. Raaah, raah, don't vulcanize society, Raah, raaah.
On Minorities:

"First, let me make it very clear, poor people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill." "Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a -- you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities." "It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here (Africa) to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America." "What I am against is quotas. I am against hard quotas, quotas they basically delineate based upon whatever. However they delineate, quotas, I think vulcanize society. So I don't know how that fits into what everybody else is saying, their relative positions, but that's my position.''

"Do you have blacks too?" (to Brazilian President Cardoso)

80. The Capitol of Low Expectations
On the Job Description:

"I'm a follower of American politics." "I'm the master of low expectations." "My job is to, like, think beyond the immediate." "I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things."

"There's nothing more deep than recognizing Israel's right to exist. That's the most deep thought of all. ... I can't think of anything more deep than that right." "I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe -- I believe what I believe is right."

"I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well." "I am mindful of the difference between the executive branch and the legislative branch. I assured all four of these leaders that I know the difference, and that difference is they pass the laws and I execute them."

"This has been tough weeks in that country." "We had a good Cabinet meeting, talked about a lot of issues. Secretary of State and Defense brought us up to date about our desires to spread freedom and peace around the world." "Redefining the role of the United States from enablers to keep the peace to enablers to keep the peace from peacekeepers is going to be an assignment." "In my judgment, when the United States says there will be serious consequences, and if there isn't serious consequences, it creates adverse consequences." "See, one of the interesting things in the Oval Office -- I love to bring people into the Oval Office -- right around the corner from here -- and say, this is where I office, but I want you to know the office is always bigger than the person." "I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves." "One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures."

"You've also got to measure in order to begin to effect change that's just more -- when there's more than talk, there's just actual -- a paradigm shift." "I think the American people -- I hope the American -- I don't think, let me -- I hope the American people trust me." "There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like."

"I've coined new words, like, misunderstanding and Hispanically." "I suspect that had my dad not been president, he'd be asking the same questions: How'd your meeting go with so-and-so? How did you feel when you stood up in front of the people for the State of the Union Address, state of the budget address, whatever you call it." "This is what I'm good at. I like meeting people, my fellow citizens, I like interfacing with them." "Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness." "There's no such thing as legacies. At least, there is a legacy, but I'll never see it."

81. Home of the Dictators
"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier - so long as I'm the dictator."

"The legislature's job is to write law. It's the executive branch's job to interpret law."

"We don't believe in planners and deciders making the decisions on behalf of Americans."

"Actually, I -- this may sound a little West Texas to you, but I like it. When I'm talking about -- when I'm talking about myself, and when he's talking about myself, all of us are talking about me."
"When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive."

"Laura and I really don't realize how bright our children is sometimes until we get an objective analysis."

"I think anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is underestimating."
