Someone asked me whether I was aware of all the people out there who were praying for the President. And I had to say, "Yes, I am. I've felt it. I believe in intercessory prayer." But I couldn't help but say to that questioner after he'd asked the question that - or at least say to them that if sometimes when he was praying he got a busy signal, it was just me in there ahead of him.

I like photographers-you don't ask questions.

I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.

Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement.

You know, if Nancy Davis hadn't come along when she did, I would have lost my soul.

One of mankind's problems is we keep committing the same errors.

Since I came to the White House, I got two hearing aids, a colon operation, skin cancer, a prostate operation, and I was shot. The damn thing is, I've never felt better in my life.
