If I hadn't been President of the United States, I probably would have ended up a piano player in a bawdy house.

I'm the president of the United States. I'm not the emperor of the United States.

First of those would be supply and demand. Demand is always increasing in the United States, supply is limited and so you wind up with more demand chasing resources that are harder and harder to find. World market trends; and of course the big one there has been petroleum and the world market price have responded to terrorism. Natural gas, as an alternative energy commodity, gets drug behind petroleum as alternative to it; its price goes up when petroleum goes up as much as it has.

Priority is priority. I don't care who you are. The president of the United States, he's going to have to wait. And Mr. Richardson is not the President of the United States.

This generosity that has been offered to the United States says very much about the Venezuelan spirit.

If I missed my moment, I missed my moment. I mean, I wasn't pining to be president of the United States.
