Have Ari Fliesher and Scott McLellan been the only 2 press secretaries Bush has had so far?  Who served as press secretary for Clinton?

Karen "Hughes" or something? She wrote a book about how much she loved Bu$h, did not sell well.\nA better question would be. Why is it that Bu$h never answers any questions by the news or public? Also why is it that his Press secretaries never answer any questions? They are paid by tax payers to answer questions, that is their job.

The question must be viewed in the same light as other first ladies.  This country has had Hilary Clinton, who you might hate but she did get elected Senator and all you haters (I personally won't vote for her) we have to admit she is popular.  And there is Elenor Roosevelt, and Jackie O Kennedy.  So amoungst these who have had serious popularity and adoration, even Elenor's contributions,  we must acknowledge that Mrs. Bush does not compare with these greats.\n\nTherefore we place her in my view in the second category, that is, the rest of em save one or two others who were pretty good, as just eye candy really.\n\nThere was one mrs wilson who apparently ran the nation for a while, if not here someone around that time

What I liked was the questions some of the press asked. There were the usual kiss-ups, but a couple asked questions like "You have been called a liar, a crook, a scum-bag, a puppet, a degenerate creep and a waste of protein. How will you form a working relationship with those people who called you those things?"\n\nOr even better, after saying that the Republican losses had been a surprise, "So are you saying that you are that out of touch with the citizens of the country that you couldn't see this coming?"\n\nBush did do us a favor though, it was obvious that the Rumsfeld "scape-goat" resignation caught him by surprise. It was several hours later that he had been given a cover story about why he said just a couple of days ago the Rummy would stay as long as he did.\n\nI've said for years that after seeing Clueless George it is easy to understand why his papa likes Dan Quayle.

Fascist blames Clinton for Bush's failures.\n\nClinton did a surgical strike against Iraq and we didn't invade or lose a single person, went after military targets, put the repubs complained, saying he didn't have the authority and that Iraq wasn't a threat, which it s certainly wasn't after Desert Fox!!\n\nClinton on Trial\nFrom: David Plotz\nFriday, Dec. 18, 1998, at 6:30 PM ET \nSuspicious Minds\n\nThe Republicans wag the fox.\n\nThe most impressive sophistry of Wednesday comes courtesy of House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas. As journalists gather outside the House Republicans' private caucus, Armey's press secretary distributes a short press release. (The media mob is so frenzied that another reporter literally tries to tear a copy out of my hands.)\n\nThe release reads, "The suspicion that some people have about the president's motives in this attack is itself a powerful argument for impeachment. ... These doubts may or may not be warranted ... but the fact that some Americans are expressing these doubts shows that the president is losing his ability to lead."\n\nMy thoughts are mostly on the hijacking of constitutional government in America. The right-wing threat that has unbalanced even the reasonable members of the Republican Party. The lack of any credible congressional or media figures now that they have all given in to their hate-Clinton frenzy, with complete indifference to the sentiments of normal people outside the Beltway. The impossibility of protest when elected officials and media both ignore what people feel and say, and, worse, distort it; the failure of the print media to cover the various marches the other day; or its failure to raise the reasonable questions about hypocrisy (i.e. Henry Hyde's past) that were apparent to everyone. And the fact that we can't impeach or otherwise get rid of irresponsible pundits. If only we could impeach George Will and Cokie Roberts! \n\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \nFran Lebowitz, author \n\nAbsolutely, the bombings were an attempt to deflect attention from impeachment. Clinton is hardly a subtle man -- even his most ardent supporters cannot accuse him of subtlety, and certainly not of irony. He is irony-free. Obviously, I'm not a fan of Saddam Hussein but it's interesting to me how he's been singled out. Unfortunately, the world is filled with people in power who are equally as bad. It's not that I'm in favor of Saddam, but I think he should be placed in like company because I think it makes everyone else -- all these other horrendous people -- seem like nothing compared to him. Certainly what's going on in Bosnia cannot be better than what's going on in Iraq. Certainly Gadhaffi is not Adlai Stevenson. Singling Saddam out seems almost arbitrary to me. There's something very false, very tinny about the whole thing. I watched the bombings on TV last night -- the green glow of the bombs, which is nice and arty but you can't really see anything -- and it seemed very unreal. When we announce a bombing, it doesn't seem like a real war except that real people get really killed. \n\nI'm in favor of nothing. I hate all these people. I think the Congress is a disgrace, I think the president is a disgrace. It's embarrassing to be a human being in this era. I feel disgraced by my fellow man -- all of them. Especially my fellow citizens, because they've been convinced to become consumers instead of citizens. They go around interviewing dozens of idiots who talk about how great the economy is, which it is for about 12 people, by the way. They interview 8-year-olds! The economy is incredibly great if you happen to own an enormous company or if you have tons of capital in the stock market". \n\nRepublicons talk oit of both sides of their mouths depending on convenience.

unless the bush can pull the proverbial rabitt out of his a** its clinton hands down, i believe even if he pulled that rabitt i still believe clinton did a better job..

I noted that bush was still spouting campaign trash today. Some of the press were really funny, sure to be on his enemy list (if they weren't already).

The White House spokesman directly relays any & all information the President wishes to give out.\n\nThe State Department spokesman releases information & press statements concerning the State Department only.

Wow, somebody got a bee in their turban...\n\nBush Sr. among many other ex-Party and current leadership all have small stakes in the form of mutual funds which in turn are heavily invested in many Middle-East construction and shipping companies.  It is indirect, but it is a clearly linear relationship.  Bush Sr. alone stands to make about $7 million in capital gains when the whole deal goes through (for 26 ports, not just the few in the US, which ironically are the least profitable).

That would be "Air America" the liberals answer to Rush, Hannity and the vast right wing conspiracy on the radio.  I don't know if they are all lazy, but they are broke and do have quite a few unedcuated types on board.  Pretty darn said.\n\nThe anti Bush radical get their information from thin air....obviously they don't use facts.

I agree with the second Para of your additional info to your question.  Such kind of drama were played in past and shall continue.\n\nIf you remember when bush was elected president for second time, a video was released one week before election by Osama bin laden threatening more attacks would take place like 9/11.  It helped Bush to be elected for next 4 yrs.  But nothing happened what was threatened.\n\nThese all names are dummy, imaginary and made in USA.

I think a lot of the reason it seems that the Bush Administration seems to get away with everything is because of the media.  The media doesn't hold their feet to the fire like they would if this was a Democratic Administration.  If President Clinton had done one tenth of what President Bush has done, they would have impeached him and had him out of office years ago.  The Bushies have the media in their back pocket and then claim that the media is too liberal.   It's part of the problem when corporations own media companies.  Look at how they stuck their head in the sand over the Iraq War.  It's a shame, because this President should be held accountable for what he's done.

My favorite president is the one we have right now, Mr. George W. Bush. He's my favorite because he accomplished a feat that 6 years ago I would have thought impossible: making me wish Bill Clinton was still president.

Yeah, back when the office of President meant something and not getting every nation to hate USA. Bush will go down as the most hated person in the world...his job approval rating is now only 29%...lets see how LOW he can go! \n(Clinton still has a HIGH approval rating!) \n\nCheney has 19% rating...\nBush is competitive...\nwill he beat Cheney \nand go even lower???

All you say is true,  but there are some comparisons.   For example,  in vietnam there was Hanoi Jane Fonda.   In this war  there is Jihad Cindy SheHAMM.   It seems in both wars the press is anti america.    In this war not only is the press anti american,  its anti Bush.    I think if Clinton would have started this war the press would be licking his  toes , and praising the gloriousness of our troops.  But they hate Bush so much, its like a blind hatred.   Come to think of it,  they hated Nixon too.   \n\nIf this war fails it will be because of our media and the left.   They constantly drag down the effort which reinforces the insurgency.   I truly believe if it wasnt for the media and our american left,  the war would have been won long ago.  Their fat mouths keeps the enemy motivated.

It's funny isn't it? They still talk about Clinton 6 years later, and he has been living that beautiful life. Anything that Bush screws up on, which is every week now, somehow President Clinton must have done it. Total ignorance! If they can't pick it off on Clinton then Abraham Lincoln did it. Bush and his followers are criminals to the U.S.. Vote them out!
