Nice to see your thoughtful comments among the comments of the Donner Party folks.

Andy Card has done as good a job as could be expected of him.

For a Massachusetts liberal, yes, I agree.

My thinking is that the President, Dick Cheney, and Condi have decided that they need a much more muscular approach to the Democrats as they go into the midterms. Methinks we've seen the last of "rope-a-dope", thanks be to God.

That would be refreshing.

Expect McClellan to go next. Nobody's happy with him. The base wants a junkyard dog who will bitch slap the likes of David Gregory into singularity.

Yep.

Profile from OMB site:

Joshua B. Bolten
Director
On June 26, 2003, the United States Senate confirmed Joshua B. Bolten as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Mr. Bolten was sworn in on June 30, 2003. As Director of OMB, Mr. Bolten will help oversee the preparation of the Federal budget and supervise its administration in Executive Branch agencies. He will work closely with Congress and federal departments to successfully implement the President’s agenda, from growing the economy and creating jobs to ensuring a strong national defense and a secure homeland.

From January 2001 through June of 2003, Mr. Bolten was Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy at the White House. From March 1999 through November 2000, he was Policy Director of the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign. Mr. Bolten also served as Policy Director of the Bush-Cheney transition. From 1994 to 1999, he was Executive Director, Legal & Government Affairs, for Goldman Sachs International in London.


During the Administration of President George H.W. Bush, Mr. Bolten served for three years as General Counsel to the U.S. Trade Representative and one year in the White House as Deputy Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs. Previously, from 1985 to 1989, he was International Trade Counsel to the US Senate Finance Committee. Earlier, Mr. Bolten was in a private law practice with O’Melveny & Myers, and worked in the legal office of the U.S. State Department. He also served as Executive Assistant to the Director of the Kissinger Commission on Central America.


Mr. Bolten received his B.A. with distinction from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs (1976) and his J.D. from Stanford Law School (1980), where he was an editor of the Stanford Law Review. Immediately after law school, he served as a law clerk at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. During the fall semester of 1993, Mr. Bolten taught international trade at Yale Law.

David Gregory says he's LOYAL TO THE PRESIDENT, and said that being LOYAL TO THE PRESIDENT is the MOST IMPORTANT THING to THIS president. (My emphasis, but I do think I heard him exactly the way he intended his listeners to hear him. LOL.)

I would like to see Andy come back to Massachusetts to run against Ted Kennedy in November for the U.S. Senate. It is a crime that the Swimmer is running unopposed. At the least, he should be made to debate in public so his debilitated condition is exposed to the public.

The President may have had little to do with it there maybe personal circumstances why Andy Card has resigned whatever the official statement turns out to be.

I heard her on NPR this morning and thought the same thing. Whenever I hear someone describe the Abu Grahib pictures as some horrific crime and talking about how "unfriendly" it is to fly into the US I know they're worthless.

She said it was so cold that when flying into the US there are arrows pointing one way for citizens and another arrow for everyone else. "How sad", she said. Sad?! Hello dummy, the country you just flew in from, were they welcoming you with open arms and no customs? *bangs head against wall*

Well aren't you the intrepid one?

No disappointment here. I based my assumption on which thread was posted first.

Except of course for the attorney general.

He and Chertoff will be the next to go. To be replaced by people who will actually do something about illegal immigration.

Andy Card was just plain worn out. End of story.

WHCoS is perhaps the hardest job on the planet.

He's earned a rest.

Personally, I thought he already looked unburdened this morning.

He looked ten years younger.

The deer in the headlight would be gone if they put someone who believed what they were saying instead of spouting off something someone else told them to say.

Karen Huges gave a speech, I can't remember exactly where but it was in some Islamic country, and WHOULD NOT release what she said to them.

Bill Bennett, or his staff, even talked to the State Dept and they wouldn't give him a transcript.
