I find the first part of this statement offensive to say the least. What pray tell makes this true? He ran for President as a governor of a large state, and was elected by the legal process just as any other President has been.
Seems to me that the real statement should be that the author was hardly the obvious man for the job that the President entrusted him with!
He clearly has a agenda here, and it is not hard to decipher his motives.
Clearly. I will never forget that Bill Kristol went on Fox News shortly before President Bush's State of the Union Address to "predict" that Rudy Guiliani was to be named the first ever Homeland Security Chief. Hours later I collapsed in guffaws when Tom Ridge was named. Later I learned that David Frum, who was formerly a writer for the Weakly Standard was one of the speechwriters. (Although not the head speechwriter.) It was months later that all this flap occurred about the axis of evil, and Frum's wife taking credit for her hubby. I will always believe that the WH was smokin' out their leakers......and Frum was one of the first to fall.......
