Quotes about Presidential Preference

Katherine Harris

Certainly I had my preference, and I very much hoped that George W. Bush would be our next president.

Jon Stewart

The election moment is merely the American public saying, "We'd rather you be President than that guy." That's it.

Adam Pally

I love Obama. He's my favorite president of all time.

Jimmy Fallon

During a recent interview, President Obama revealed that his favorite movie this year was 'Boyhood.' It makes sense. If there's one thing Obama can identify with, it's aging several years over the course of a couple of hours.

Robert Jervis

President’s usually do not want to hear an intelligence analyst’s doubts, preferring confidence (even when unwarranted) in one policy option.

Kansas City Times

Says Roosevelt: “I announce no choice, To no man will I lend my voice I have no private candidate, I care not whom you nominate-- Just so it’s Taft.”

Theodore Roosevelt had pledged to serve only two terms and everyone was looking to see whom he supported to succeed him in 1908. He had absolutely decided it should be William Howard Taft, his Secretary of War, and old colleague. But he didn’t want to offend the party leaders by precluding their ability to appear to have a say in the choice of nominee. So he made no public statement. But most journalists in Washington realized what the reality was and the Kansas City Times simply published this little ditty.

John Kerry

We've been waiting since 1918 for the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series, and ... if I had a choice between the White House and the World Series this year, I'm going to take the White House. How's that?

Calvin Coolidge

Any man who doesn’t like dogs … shouldn’t be in the White House.

James R. Clapper

In my tenure I had three one-on-one meetings in the Oval Office with the President, and I can assure you that you remember every word of those meetings. Abd if the President indicates what he would like or prefer, you do not take that as optional.

FBI Director James Comey had testified that in his single one-on-one meeting with President Donald Trump, the President told him to cease the FBI investigation of his National Security Director. Trump however claimed that he was not giving Comy an order or instruction but was just making an informal suggestion. Trump then fired Comey who did not terminate the investigation and the National Security Director was found to have committed several felonies and turned states evidence and then pled guilty to one. Some accused President trump of trying to obstruct justice but the President claimed that he had just made a suggestion to Director Comey and he fired him for other reasons.

Conan O'Brien

People all over the world now are following our election. And according to a new international poll that just came out, I think this came out a few hours ago, this is true, people in Canada want Barack Obama to be the next U.S. president. That's what they're saying. In Canada, yeah. That makes sense, because Obama has the support of Canada's anti-war voters, as well as Canada's black guy. He is very excited.

Cindy McCain

I would feel safe with my husband as president. I think Barack Obama is a fine man. I think Michelle Obama is a fine woman. This is about who would be better and I think my husband would be better.

Calvin Coolidge

Any man who does not like dogs and want them about does not deserve to be in the White House.

Mitt Romney

Ah, it's too hard to pick a favorite president. It really is. It's like picking your favorite from a box of chocolates - I love all of them.

Alexander Hamilton

But might not his [the president's] nomination be overruled? I grant it might, yet this could only be to make place for another nomination by himself. The person ultimately appointed must be object of his preference, though perhaps not in the first degree. It is also not very probable that his nomination would often be overruled.
