Obama Has Become Too Dependent On Formal Speeches And Set Town Halls. His Idea Of Mixing It Up Is Taking Off His Jacket.

Yes, Bill Clinton Is A Big Flirt.

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.

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.

There's No Question Almost Press Secretaries Talk About The Sense Of Serving Two Masters. On The One Hand You Want To Protect The President's Interests, And You Represent His Interests To The Press. And The Press Is A Proxy For The American People.
