I just finished reading "What Happened" by Scott McClelland today ( 7-2-08) , the tell-all about how the Bush Administration mishandled the Iraq War, Plamegate, Katrinia, and the dubious ways of the Senior Advisors to the president. I thought Mr. McClelland was very candor and honest on how he assessed the daily job as the Whitehouse Press Secretary and how the Spin-Mastery of Washington Politics can bring breath to a administration and also take that same breath from you.
I personally feel ( even before I read the book) that no matter what party you belong to there is going to be those on top that are looking out for their personal agenda and there is nothing one can do about it. I also believe that the majority of our elected officals are truly genuine and candid about their job. With so much access to the 24/7 news cycle and how many different ways one can receive and judge for themselves on the issues at hand, they know they must uphold the job they were sworn to obey by- and the last two administrations shows us one thing for sure, that no matter which we you lean toward your views and party, the truth will almost always prevail without candor and responsive governing of our elected officals.
