How To Run A White House

Why legitimize this weakling with an interview in this magazine? Card was a notoriously ineffective chief of staff. By all accounts, he was a mere" yes"-man. He was a burger-fetcher for crying out loud! I don't think much of Newsweek, but this sort of tripe belongs in PARADE.

" It's more important to make sure the arguments are civil and respectful than to try to make them disappear. You actually want a healthy tension and contrarian views expressed."

While that may well be a healthy attitude it's nothing more than a theory in the Bush administration. Looking at his record, he's giving everyone that has disagreed with him the boot, especially when it came to the Iraq war. I'm sure there was a lot of give and take in the White House all these years, but Bush was doing all the taking. The neocons call this leadership. Go figure.
