On Presidents and being a ‘prop’
With the exception of President Carter, I have known and worked with — or for — every resident of the White House since 1969. Some I have known exceptionally well; others less so. I will offer my impressions and comparisons along with evaluations of cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, members of Congress and lesser, but important, policymakers. I do not intend to dwell on personality aberrations, except as they affect policy decision-making — which, of course, always involves personalities. I will also describe what it’s like to be a prop at a congressional hearing, which is too often the role of witnesses.
