Reply #14: But by failing to have the office become one of constant examples

[salin]

of croney enrichment at the expense of sound policy - I would still contend that the Executive Office was sullied from nearly the beginning of this administration - blame Card, Cheney or Bush. I would blame all three. From the dance with the oil/energy executives to the profiteering plans per a planned war in Iraq (long prior to the events of 911), to collusion with Pharma per the medicare prescription reform efforts pushed from the WH (and manipulated through HHS pressure to withhold information from congress)... so many examples... I do look forward to learning that to which you refer - but I rather imagine it will be one more example of rather than the exception of tarnishing the Executive Office of the Presidency.
