Being president, you may have more power than anyone else in the country, but you quickly discover that you have much, much less than you thought you'd have going in. You're hamstrung in ways you never dreamed of.

Today, if you invent a better mousetrap, the government comes along with a better mouse.

I admire personalities. Some politicians who are only great mice are just persons.

I am not the President. Instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.

I'm the only president you've got.

Look, when you're the president, there's all kinds of things said about us. I mean, it's just the nature of the job.

Frankly, I don't mind not being President. I just mind that someone else is.

I'm the president of the United States. I'm not the emperor of the United States.

I'm not comparing Bush to Adolf Hitler - because George Bush, for one thing, is not as smart as Adolf Hitler.
