giving a stamp of approval to what this president is doing now.

James Lee Witt is giving his seal of approval to some companies, and I question whether that is appropriate as you leave government. He is lending his credibility as a public official to help companies advance in Washington.

His numbers aren't moving because the underlying concerns of the people giving him low approval ratings are not being addressed.

If it (the CN-BNSF merger approval process) goes forward, it will be catalyst for the end game for the railroad industry, ... And in that end game, no one wants to get left out. If you're left out, the terms of trade can turn very sour for you.

This is a supreme test of Bush's leadership at a time when resources are thin and his approval ratings are perilously low.

I'm having so much fun, it's hard to explain it, ... They just keep giving me great cars with great engines.
