Dee Dee Myers Quotes

Yes, Bill Clinton is a big flirt Picture Quote #1

The first time I met Bill Clinton was actually 1988 Picture Quote #1

No reporter is flying around in borrowed twin-engine airplanes Picture Quote #1

To compare Whitewater to Watergate is a travesty Picture Quote #1

Clinton had absolutely zero honeymoon, none whatsoever Picture Quote #1

The Obamas have changed the culture of the White House Picture Quote #1

If cats could talk, they wouldn't

Dogs teach us a lot of things but none more important than to love unconditionally

Campaigns often make standing on principle the highest of virtues - and listening to your opponents a sure sign of weakness. It’s the virtual opposite of what it takes to succeed in office. Squaring the circle takes a powerful combination of skills. But presidents who can campaign and compromise are generally the most successful Picture Quote #1

One thing I think is least realistic is that there were five people that made decisions in the fictional ‘West Wing.’ In real life, there are about five million people that weigh in Picture Quote #1

During my years as a press secretary, I developed a powerful internal filter, which worked to strip all things ‘off message’ from my thoughts before they came out of my mouth. It didn’t always work, of course, and I said more than a few things I regretted Picture Quote #1

After I left the White House, I kept a foothold in the business of American politics; as a talk-show host, analyst, commentator, speechmaker, and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner, but I was still a partisan, a Democrat, a blue-stater through and through Picture Quote #1

While eschewing emotion - and its companion, vulnerability - Obama should be careful not to sacrifice empathy, the ‘I feel your pain’ connection that sustained Clinton. This connection is the shorthand people use to measure their leaders’ intentions. If people believe you’re on their side, they will trust your decisions Picture Quote #1

On the day I started college in 1979, no woman had ever been on the United States Supreme Court or served as the Speaker of the House. None had been an astronaut or the solo anchor of a network evening news broadcast. Not one had been president of an Ivy League college or run a serious campaign for president Picture Quote #1

What a beautiful world it would be if people had hearts like dogs

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

Obama seemed poised to realign American politics after his stunning 2008 victory. But the economy remains worse than even the administration’s worst-case scenarios, and the long legislative battles over health care reform, financial services reform and the national debt and deficit have taken their toll. Obama no longer looks invincible Picture Quote #1

I worked for a lot of candidates, in tough campaigns that lost. Most of my candidates lost until Bill Clinton. There was always a point where you look in their eyes and they knew it was over. And there was never that point with Clinton. He never quit. He never gave up Picture Quote #1

No doubt, the White House thinks the American people know Obama’s story. But since the Inauguration, we’ve seen only the president’s present: his perfect family, his Ivy League elegance, his effortless mastery of complex issues. We never see him sweat. And we forget that he ever had to struggle Picture Quote #1

Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession, education, hours worked, age, marital status, and children, men still are compensated substantially more - even in professions, like nursing, dominated by women. No wonder there’s a gender gap Picture Quote #1

President Clinton intentionally created a structure that was a little loose. And one that kept him a little in the center. He didn’t want one person filtering all the information that went to him. He had always operated with a lot of information coming in and a lot of stuff going out Picture Quote #1

In the run-up to the 1992 Democratic convention, Clinton’s campaign realized that voters thought the young governor had a privileged upbringing. They didn’t buy his alleged concern for the middle class Picture Quote #1

I like me a little bit more when i'm with you

I told you I'll be ready in FIVE minutes, stop calling me every half hour

A lot of people over time have had this kind of pattern in their relationship with Bill Clinton. You first meet him and you’re overwhelmed by his talent. He’s so energetic and articulate and full of ideas and he calls himself a congenital optimist and that optimism is contagious Picture Quote #1

Exponential growth in access to the Internet, satellite television and radio, cell phones, and P. D. A.’s means that breaking news now reaches virtually every corner of the globe Picture Quote #1

Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy Picture Quote #1

I am endlessly fascinated that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn’t Picture Quote #1

Having a sense of humor has served me more than it has hurt me - just in the sense that it has allowed me to keep my sanity Picture Quote #1

We don’t take credit for our accomplishments. I can’t tell you how many times you’ll say to a woman, ‘Oh God, what you did was so great’, and they say, ‘Really? I didn’t think it was that good.’ Picture Quote #1

I never make the same mistake twice. I make it five or six times, just to be sure

Chocolate is the answer. Who cares what the question is

The thing about looking back over Clinton’s presidency, and probably anybody’s presidency, is that when you look back, the events all line up in a way that makes sense. At the time, you don’t know where it’s going Picture Quote #1

People are inevitably disappointed, because no one’s as good as Bill Clinton’s first impression. Or, he’s done things. He’s disappointed people in a variety of ways. And so then, the fall is hard Picture Quote #1

There are people in the public sector with a range of experiences that have no equivalent in business, but are essential to governing, like keeping a kid in school or helping someone get and hold a job. The value of those skills can’t easily be measured against a bottom line Picture Quote #1

I am endlessly fascinated that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn’t. Hey, it made me a better leader: you have to take a lot of people’s needs into account; you have to look down the road. Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy Picture Quote #1

The dirty little secret is that the pool man, who’s making $30,000 a year, is subsidizing the million-dollar mortgage for the family whose pool he cleans. No wonder people want to get rid of tax breaks for corporate jets Picture Quote #1

That’s not to say that women’s priorities are better than men’s. Rather, when women are empowered, when they can speak from the experience of their own lives, they often address different, previously neglected issues. And families and whole communities benefit Picture Quote #1
