Bush is a Cheerleader, not a Manager

After reading Bob Woodward's State of Denial, Dana Perino's comment seems in-line; that is, Bush has demonstrated himself to be a good cheerleader. (Yes, who could forget the line, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job.")

However, Woodward's book makes it clear that Bush isn't a hands-on manager. Time and time again, he shows that Bush fails to delve into details and ask important questions that are the basis of key decsions (e.g. "where's Iraq's weapons of mass destruction?")

Managerial skill or cowardice?

To let spokesperson after spokeperson receive the slings and arrows intended for him?

He's proved his skill at dodging shoes, but can he really get away with dodging responsibility for his actions and inactions?

Well, he has so far, so he undoubtedly will for another two or three weeks.
