To Compare Whitewater To Watergate Is A

You As The Press Secretary Have To Protect The President's Interests And The White House's Interests More Broadly. And A Lot Of People Inside The White House, As You Learned, Sometimes With Painful Experience, Have Competing Agendas, Have Differing Points Of View, Have Priorities They're Trying To Protect.

I Am Endlessly Fascinated That Playing Football Is Considered A Training Ground For Leadership, But Raising Children Isn't.

No Doubt, The White House Thinks The American People Know Obama's Story. But Since The Inauguration, We've Seen Only The President's Present: His Perfect Family, His Ivy League Elegance, His Effortless Mastery Of Complex Issues. We Never See Him Sweat. And We Forget That He Ever Had To Struggle.

A Lot Of People Over Time Have Had This Kind Of Pattern In Their Relationship With Bill Clinton. You First Meet Him And You're Overwhelmed By His Talent. He's So Energetic And Articulate And Full Of Ideas And He Calls Himself A Congenital Optimist And That Optimism Is Contagious.

Every Press Secretary Faces An Enormous Amount Of Information. Events Move Really Fast. You're Responsible For A Tremendous Amount Of Information, And Again, A Tremendous Amount On Competing Agendas. Not Everybody Grease In The White House.
