It looks and sounds pushy and arrogant. Oh, and don't point to the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 because no where in that act does it declare this to be an office.

"Pres. Bush invited Michelle and me," not "Michelle and I". You would not say "invited I," but "invited me." 2. Constantly referring to "my vice-president", "my chief of staff", etc. sounds too self-serving. It would be better to say "our vice-president" or "the chief of staff", more inclusive. 3. I am so sorry that he made the Reagan statement, but I believe he is too. Just leave names out of such statements--unless they are positive, of course. I would be curious to know who brought this mistate to his attention. Otherwise, I thought it was a good conference, really liked the answer about the Cabinet, that appointments would be well thought out. In my prayers.
