From Dubya, during the notorious interview with RTE's Carol Coleman:

But I'm the kind of person, I don't really try to chase popular polls, or popularity polls. My job is to do my job and make the decisions that I think are important for our country and for the world.

In the New York Times story about their interview with him on Thursday:
