I've never covered the president in any way other than that he is ultimately responsible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You know, one of the things I think you understand as president is you're held responsible for everything, but you don't always have control of everything, right?
I've never been a fan of presidents who place blame on their predecessors or who accept credit for events that couldn't have been engineered so soon in their tenure.
Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.
I never defended the Bush administration's spending.
I'm covering the worst president in American history.
Once upon a time we did not focus on a president's private life.
The president, just as any other American, deserves a legal defense against personal lawsuits not related to his office. But the costs of that defense should be borne by him and not the taxpayer.
I've covered the White House and been yelled at by presidents.
This president has been reluctant to hold anybody accountable. No one was held accountable after September the 11th. Nobody's been held accountable after the clear flaws in intelligence leading up to the war in Iraq.
It was not the president's responsibility to run a law enforcement operation. It was ours.
