"To a President"...You act as though its just any ole assistant position. You're working in close contact on a daily basis with the most powerful people in the world. The top white house journalists would dream of such access to the inner workings of the executive branch. Maybe you guys just aren't political/government/history junkies like I am, but I'd quit law school to go do it...in a heartbeat.

In all honesty (crucify me if you will), I think being a PA to the President is like any ol' assistant position. I don't know the "inner workings" of what happens, and I have no basis of comparison. But, I don't treat anyone any different. I'd treat the President the same way i'd treat anyone else, so I guess your right...to me its not that big of a thing.

Probably the same as any ol' assistant position. Plus Presidents have more than one assistant.
Maybe we're failing to realize how much key info this assistant was exposed to. Maybe he's seen some government and "powerful people" conspiracies and coverups taking place. That would definitely explain people kissing his ass for the rest of his life. Or putting a hit out on him.

a President has a "body-man" which is supposedly what this kid was. Watch West Wing or something, damn.

If you recall - Charlie (the body man in question) finished his undergraduate degree and was working on his master's while preforming his other responsiblities....... so was it not possible for him to finish undergrad through at least an on-line outlet???

I don't think that anyone's saying (well at least I'm not saying) that holding mints, making PB&J or walking dogs is sufficient to qualify someone for anything....except another job as a personal assistant.

This is all really getting to you isn't it? You are beginning to sound ridiculous. I don't really even know why you responded to me about the law school thing.......I realize i'll have to make the requirements to get in. I made the comment in response to someone stating that he shouldn't get into Harvard business school because he wouldn't be able to handle it. Sometimes experience is far more valuable than sitting in a classroom.
With that said, I know Bush's past PA during his first term very well (Logan Walters). He went to Texas and i'm good friends with his younger brother who is at the Citadel. I can promise you he did a little more than walk the dog and hold mints. That article really doesn't do the position any justice.
I am actually quite shocked that some of you don't think being the President's right hand mand is that big of a deal and, what was it, "the same as any 'ole assistant job."
........with that said.....Pierce Bush is about to be over here in a little while........perhaps I'll get him to get the lowdown on all of this. I'm sure he wouldn't mind giving uncle George a call.

I didn't know whether macallan was namedropping or sharing a joke with us. Next he'll be telling us that Ben Dover is on his way over to discuss his affectionate ties with the Pres.
