John McCain President Quotations

As part of Social Security reform, I believe that private savings accounts are a part of it -- along the lines that President Bush proposed.

Let me say that no one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.

The role of the vice president is to break ties in the Senate and inquire daily into the health of the president.

I am confident, with the leadership and the backing of the American people, President Obama will turn this country around,

I am sure that Senator Clinton would make a good President. I have no doubt that Senator Clinton would make a good President.

I have said for a long time that I thought the president would be best served if the attorney general resigned so I think it's the right thing to do.

[I find it] impossible [to imagine] that a nation which is grounded in Judaeo-Christian principles would somehow select someone [for President] who would repudiate those principles.

Sen. Obama is a decent person and a person you don't have to be scared of as president of the United States.

I am not President Bush.

Presidential ambition is a disease that can only be cured by embalming fluid .

I'm not President Bush

It seems to me that President Carter has earned his place as if not the worst president in history, the worst president of the 20th Century.

I want to tell the vice president and everybody else that when I'm president there will be a controlling legal authority.

It is because I owe America more than she has ever owed me that I am a candidate for president to the United States.

I've already heard from some military commanders who feel they've been undercut by the vice president of the United States, and there's a lot of justification for their view.

Responsibility always stops at the president's desk.

I voted for Justice Breyer and Justice Ginsburg. Not because I agreed with their ideology, but because I thought they were qualified and that elections have consequences when presidents are nominated.

Now that we have the line-item veto there is no excuse for Congress to put pork in and no reason for the president not to line-item veto it out.

I asked that I not be considered for vice president of the United States.

I have said many times in the past I don't choose to be vice president, either Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or vegetarian.

It is perhaps my greatest hope, Mr. President, that some day we'll consider tax and spending measures with no one else in mind but future generations of American taxpayers. We're tying a millstone of debt around their necks, and it is a grave mistake.

Inexperience because of (President Barack) Obama's inexperience.Look that would be one of the challenges.

My preference would be to remain in the Senate, ... But you can't say I would refuse to serve in one of those (Cabinet) capacities. It's not the same as vice president.

I'm not sure, if I were President Clinton, I wouldn't want to be pardoned for something that I believed that I didn't do.

What if there's another terrorist attack? I cringe at the ideas of our enemies watching this, knowing much like the president we have now. You can do anything you want, you can jerk us around, you can harass our naval ships the way Iran is doing right now, and we're not going to do anything. We're not going to react.

I am concerned -- and I think most people are concerned -- about the lack of coordination between agencies, ... The failure to work together to share information -- they're doing that now, in fact. As we know, the CIA director and the FBI director are briefing the president every morning, so there were obviously breakdowns -- particularly in coordinating and sharing information.

I am no longer an active candidate for my party's nomination, ... A majority of Republican voters made clear that their preference for president is Governor Bush...I respect their decision.
