marksimons Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 This is pure gold, pure gold."Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, pushed out of the administration for not being a team player, says President Bush was so disengaged during Cabinet meetings that he was like a "blind man in a roomful of deaf people." "O'Neill, who has kept silent about the circumstances surrounding his ouster from the Cabinet 13 months ago, is now ready to give his side of the story with a tell-all book that paints Bush as a disengaged president who didn't encourage debate either at Cabinet meetings or in one-on-one meetings with his Cabinet secretaries. "okay, so he's selling a book, but damn, he's telling it like it is:"O'Neill was also quoted in the book as saying that the administration's decision-making process was so flawed that often top officials had no real sense of what the president wanted them to do, forcing them to act on "little more than hunches about what the president might think.""http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2004/01/09/national1412EST0651.DTL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattbateman Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I'm a supporter of the institution of the presidency, and I'm determined not to say any negative things about the president and the Bush administration," O'Neill said.

jamiroguy1 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 If anyone saw the interview, the thing that stuck out the most with me was how oblivious (or at least how oblivous Paul O'Neil acted) when the interviewer said, "Don't you think this is a personal attack on Bush?" Paul O'Neil responded something like this..."Gee golly... why would anyone think that?" Yeah right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO best playoff series in recent memory so far. And we broke a record of most post season OT games. Very excitiing stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
