Aides were left to play "blind man's bluff," trying to divine Bush's views on issues like tax policy, global warming and North Korea.

While never reported in the press that I'm aware of, during the Bush/Clinton meeting in the White House just before Bush's Inauguration, Clinton pressed Bush to keep the existing appeasement strategy toward North Korea in place.

Bush said no.

The reality of this book is that it demonstrates that O'Neill is the clueless one. The fact that he didn't understand what was going on is only a reflection of him.

It sounds as if O'Neill was out of the loop.

Sometimes, O'Neill says, they had to float an idea in the press just to scare a reaction out of him.

Any questions?
