Press Briefing by Dana Perino – 1/16/2008
MS. PERINO: Welcome, everyone, to the last press briefing of the Bush administration. It’s hard to believe that this is my 145th and final press briefing behind this podium. Over 1,000 briefings have been given by press secretaries and deputy press secretaries, at this podium, since the beginning of the administration — starting, of course, with our very good friend, Ari Fleischer.

Press Briefing by Dana Perino – 1/14/2008
MS. PERINO: Hello, everybody. I’ve got a couple of things for you. Today the President will meet with and deliver remarks to family members of military personnel who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will take place over in the East Wing of the White House — I think it’s the East Room, but I’ll confirm that for you. The Vice President, Cabinet members and other administration officials will be in attendance. Of course, it’s closed press, in keeping with how the President handles these events.

Press Briefing by Dana Perino – 1/7/2008
MS. PERINO: Hi, everyone. Okay, I have a few announcements, so if you’ll bear with me. Today, obviously, is a very exciting day. For the first time in over 27 years, all living U.S. Presidents will meet together at the White House in what will certainly be a historic gathering. These former Presidents have experienced something that, as I said yesterday, very few of us can even imagine. And President Bush is happy to welcome President-Elect Obama to lunch today, because he will soon be a member of this small group.

Press Briefing by Deputy Press Secretary Tony Fratto – 12/22/2008
MR. FRATTO: Good morning, everyone, to this holiday-shortened week. I think we all can agree, though, that you guys back there by the door — no one opens the door during the briefing today. (Laughter.) Are we all in agreement on that? It’s cold enough not letting that air in today.

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Dana Perino and Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Joel Kaplan – 12/19/2008
MS. PERINO: Just a couple of announcements. You just heard the President talk about the automotive industry and how we’ve reached a decision. And you heard the President announce it. I brought Joel Kaplan, the Deputy Chief of Staff, here for his second appearance here on this topic. He was here last week and very helpful, so we thought we’d bring him back. He doesn’t have a ton of time, but he’ll be able to answer lots of your questions.
