I'm not so sure about McCellan being the wrong guy for this job. He never becomes the story himself as far more articulate and feisty Ari often did. It was entertaining no doubt, but McCellan just states the case and doesn't interact and doesn't create headlines himself. Maybe that's what Pres. Bush was looking for.
Ari needs to return!
One of the top 5 reasons that the President's poll numbers are not where they should be is the fact that his press secretary is not up to the job.
McClellan has his positive qualities but he is very ineffective.
Were it not for who his mother is, McClellan's likelihood of holding that job would be a joke.
