George H. W. Bush Lips Quotations

I think he's uncomfortable when the topic is something he's not prepared for or when it's a very hot topic. And when Bush is uncomfortable, he purses his lips and he gets this sour look. 'Don't want to talk about this.' He picks up his tempo, sharpens his tongue. He gets into pointing a finger when he gets defensive.

The Congress will push me to raise taxes, and I'll say no, and they'll push, and I'll say no, and they'll push again and I'll say to them, read my lips, no new taxes.

Read my lips-NO NEW TAXES!

And The Congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say no. And they'll push, and I'll say no, and they'll push again, and I'll say, to them, Read my lips: no new taxes.
