I spend a great deal of time with the President. We have a very close, personal, loyal relationship. I'm not, as they say, a potted plant in these meetings.

They asked me to go in front of the Reagans. I'm not used to going in front of President Reagan, so we went out behind the Bushes.

Unfortunately, the people of Louisiana are not racists.

Public Speaking is very easy.

It's a very valuable function and requirement that you're performing, so have a great day and keep a stiff upper lip.

Let me just be very clear that the Republican Party will select a nominee that will beat Bill Clinton.

I have as much experience in the Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency.
