I am ready and prepared to work with the President, but I will not be a rubber stamp for any president.

The President's speech suggested to me that were we to follow his leadership, we will be in Iraq not for months, but for years. I also hope I am wrong on this.

I am an austere president.

is not a rubber stamp.

We don't recommend just everybody. We don't want to be a rubber stamp.

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.
