Certainly I had my preference, and I very much hoped that George W. Bush would be our next president.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That settled Abraham Lincoln with me. I was thoroughly satisfied that no such man ought to be President; but I could not yet conceive it possible that such a monster would be the choice of a majority of the people for President.
No doubt it was better to have become president than not.
I had a chance to go on the Supreme Court of the United States, and my whole family was more disappointed in my deciding not to do that than in my deciding not to run for president - much more.
There's no question in my mind that I think I would have been a better president than Barack Obama has been.
If I had a choice, I'd rather be admired less and have my husband tormented less. I'd prefer that people concentrate on a fair assessment of him and his Presidency.
I would love to be president. I just concluded I was not the best person to carry forward the Republican torch.
I still like George W. Bush. A lot.
In my heart, I'm confident I could make a good president.
I voted for Obama and I was delighted that he's been elected.
That was my choice at that time, and I still say Nixon was a great president. A very beautiful and wise man.
