So...is it the same press secretary he has had for the last 5 years?
If so, what changed that he is bad now?
Was it Karen Hughes from Texas in the beginning first term?
Who recommended this person that has the job now? Karen?
Scott McClellan in my opinion isn't helping at all. I saw his exchange with a Fox News reporter during the Katrina thing and it just looked shameful. He was mincing words, not answering direct questions. It was like the dialog of children "I know you are but what I am?” and I think Ari Fleischer was much better. I don't think the White House has been very good at getting its message out or framing its message to the Press. Scott, who I have no personal beef with, is just not the best man for the job, you need someone who knows how to control the message not go back and forth arguing about the "Blame Game". The Press didn't look good either but they are paid fools, the President needs a firm Press Secretary that knows how to control the media without getting into bickering matches, a Press Secretary that doesn't behave like Clinton Press Secretary Joe Lockhart which Scott McClellan seems to be emulating. I would like to see someone with a military background who is tough as nails and not afraid of nor suffers pantywaist reporters.
