President Takes Oath

Famous quotes containing the words president, takes and/or oath:

“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)

“Such is the end of all who are greedy for gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 1:19.

“It is not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
