"It is clear that President Obama wants nothing more than to talk about Gov. Romney's tax returns instead of the issues that matter to voters."

"At a time of great consequence for this country – when we should be debating how we win the future, reduce our deficit, deal with high gas prices, and bring stability to the Middle East - Washington, DC was once again distracted by a fake issue. The President’s hope is that with this step, we can move on to debating the bigger issues that matter to the American people and the future of the country."
- White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer, on the release of President Obama's long-form birth certificate following Republican accusations that he was not born in the United States, April 27, 2011

"We do not have time
for this kind of silliness. We’ve got better stuff to do. I’ve got better
stuff to do. We’ve got big problems to solve. And I’m confident we can solve

- President Obama on the birther controversy, April 27, 2011

Here's one more great quote, from CNN's Ruben Navarette:
"This year, we're already saddled with two candidates for president that leave you with the feeling that we should ask for more applications. That's bad enough. We shouldn't have to suffer through all this negativity and ugliness as well."
Brilliant.
