I do think the prez needs a new PR person tho- this has always been a huge downfall when not campaigning.
I give them all an D on that issue.
It's one of the things that bother me about this administration. Instead of the WH defining their position on any given subject, the media does it for them, which is patently absurd because you know as well as I do, the media hates this administration. The recent Cheney hunting accident story is but one example.
I don't think this WH is secretive. They just don't have the PR team to go out there and tell the American people the "why's, what's, and where's".
