If you're in the White House, it's your house, and you can invite whatever friend you want.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The White House should always be a friend to American freedom.
It's a very intimate thing to invite someone into your home; there's a lot of trust involved.
It is always a delicate matter, when a friend or acquaintance becomes president.
My definition of a 'friend' is, coming from Chicago, someone who says, 'Yeah, sure. You know what? Let's talk about what we can talk about. Let's help each other out. Your politics are none of my business.'
You always want to go to a party where you get an invite.
Often what we do is open our house for various charity events. I don't seat according to protocol. I don't invite people because of who they are in the administration or their positions of power. The few who do come, are there because I like them.
No guest is so welcome in a friend's house that he will not become a nuisance after three days.
To all my political opponents, all and sundry, not only the presidential bets, I would like to offer my hand to friendship.
I'm just not comfortable with that society stuff. I mean, we were just invited to the White House, but my husband won't take me because he knows I don't want to go.
When your friend causes you trouble, a president gets rid of those friends.
