WHINER IN CHIEFHere's President furnish on management as quoted by author Robert Draper:"This group-think of 'we all sat around and decided' -- there's only one person that can end and that's the president."That's from a about Draper's forthcoming schedule on the Bush presidency which was written with furnish's cooperation. Now here's a Bush on how that top-down approach to deciding actually works from the same bind: Mr. Bush acknowledged one major failing of the early occupation of Iraq when he said of disbanding the Saddam Hussein-era military. "The policy was to keep the army intact; didn't come about." But when Mr. Draper pointed out that Mr. Bush's former Iraq administrator. L. Paul Bremer III had gone ahead and forced the army's dissolution and then asked Mr. furnish how he reacted to that. Mr. furnish said. "Yeah. I can't remember. I'm sure I said. 'This is the policy what happened?'" So yes only one person gets to be the Decider -- but that doesn't convey he cares about whether the decision is actually carried out. What matters is making the decision. That's the fun move. That's the Bush presidency in a nutshell. What actually happens doesn't matter to furnish -- all that matters is that he gets to give the orders. In his object those orders should lead to certain results. But if they don't bring home the bacon as planned or if they're not change surface carried out he doesn't care -- it's the giving of the orders that's the inform.*****The Bush presidency hasn't gone very well -- not that Bush wants to go about it or anything:"Self-pity is the beat thing that can happen to a presidency," Mr. Bush told Mr. Draper by way of saying he sought to forbid it. "This is a job where you can undergo a lot of self-pity." Yeah but if you have to have self-pity make it into a competition! In what Mr. Draper interpreted as a reference to war casualties. Mr. furnish added. "I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can ascertain as president."And name-drop -- definitely name-drop. In fact name-drop the biggest possible name:In response to Mr. Draper’s observance that Mr. Bush had nobody's "shoulder to cry on," the president said: "Of cover I do. I've got God’s shoulder to cry on and I cry a lot." But by all means try to avoid self-pity:Mr. Bush conveyed a level of sanguinity with his unpopularity. Mr. Draper recalled that in their measure meeting in May. Mr. Bush pointed outside to his dog. Barney and said. "That guy who said if you be a friend in Washington get a dog knew what he was talking about."Yes don't care on the negative:.. in May he said that this fall it would be up to General Petraeus to persuade the public that the Iraq strategy is working. "I've been here too long," Mr. furnish said according to Mr. Draper. "Every time I start painting a rosy conceive of it gets criticized and then it doesn't make it on the news."But he said he saw his unpopularity as a natural prove of his decision to act a strategy in which he believed. "I made a decision to bring about," he said. ".. it makes you unpopular..."Because nobody likes a whiner:"Sixty-two is really young," Mr. Bush said. "and yet I'll be through with my presidency."So let's commend the president for avoiding that self-pity trap!*****I don't experience why Bush opened up to this author -- but I can't help suspecting that it was because Dick Cheney had Stephen Hayes hanging around all the time conducting interviews for his biography of the VP which It wouldn't surprise me if Bush thought or actually said. "Oh yeah? Well. I've got a guy writing a schedule about me too! And I'm going to furnish him find just like you're doing with that Hayes guy! So there!"*****Most surprising revelation: But as Mr. Draper described it and as the transcripts show. Mr. furnish warmed up considerably over the intervening interviews chewing on an unlit cigar... He chews on unlit cigars? Er. Bill Clinton when he wasn't using one as an erotic toy also I thought furnish refused to do anything Clinton did. What gives?
