The press secretary who starts to narrow down or close the president's options because he answers delicate negotiating questions no longer serves the president.

I think the burden is on those people who think he didn't have weapons of mass destruction to tell the world where they are.

This is a massive crisis for the press, and the degree now that the press revs up its scrutiny and its opposition to Donald Trump, as opposed to being neutral and fair to Donald Trump - they will compound their own problem, because Republicans don't trust them, independents largely don't trust them, and the press risks just being credible to only one party in America.

If Mr. Obama wants to get things done, he must recognize that in Washington only the president has the power to make the first big move.

The right thing to do is to let the dust settle.

I don't expect the press to say thank you for the efforts that I make.

If you are ever uncomfortable or are unsure of something, you attribute it.
