“On the whole, yes, I would rather be the Chief Justice of the United States, and a quieter life than that which becomes at the White House is more in keeping with the temperament, but when taken into consideration that I go into history as President, and my children and my children's children are the better placed on account of that fact, I am inclined to think that to be President well compensates one for all the trials and criticisms he has to bear and undergo.” ThinkingWellsChildrenStatesWholeFactsHousePresidentJusticeWhiteUnitedUnited StatesTakenBearsCriticismAccountsTrialsChiefsMy ChildrenConsiderationWhite HouseTemperamentChief Justice Author:William Howard Taft
“Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean was all smiles, well smirks, after picking up the endorsement of former Vice President Al Gore at a rally in Harlem ... Gore went on to praise Dean for taking a tough anti-war stance before the invasion of Iraq and he praised Dean supporters in hopes that will ease his concerns over lack of foreign policy experience, and his lack of support among blacks and Latinos, and his hot temperament, and perceived arrogance, and policy flip-flops, and campaign glitches. Well, there's a lot going on here.” WellsWarPresidentSupportPolicyToughConcernPraiseHotIraqVicesCampaignsFormerEaseArroganceAlsAnti WarForeign PolicyGovernorsSupporterTemperamentInvasionLatinoGoreFlipDeanVice PresidentStanceHarlemEndorsementsVermontFlip FlopsSmirkAll SmilesGlitchesLack Of Support Author:Jon Stewart
