If I'm just at the White House, I have meetings in my office, I sign letters, I plan different things. Late in the afternoon, I'll quit working and wait for my husband to get home.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am shocked at how much time I spend in the White House. I mean, you know, for people on the outside, the idea of going to the White House for a meeting must seem like the most important, serious, even glamorous kind of thing to do.
I send messages to the White House continuously.
In Democratic administrations, I visit the White House.
It's not like I just have to go to Washington and go to the White House everyday, and go to the same press conference at 10 in the morning and then be briefed at 4 in the afternoon, and then get a story on at 6.
I've been to the White House a number of times.
I've worked for four presidents and watched two others up close, and I know that there's no such thing as a routine day in the Oval Office.
I've got a pen and I've got a phone - and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.
I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early.
I can call a march, and thousands come out, and I happen to have access to the White House at the same time.
My plan after office is to get up and spend that entire first day helping my wife move into her new senatorial office.
