Taking
Heat
The
President, the Press, and My Years in the White House
By
Ari Fleischer
Read
by Ari Fleisher
It's
Ari Fleischer's turn to tell his story. He shares the best and worst
moments. He's honest in his mistakes and admits being corrected
by those like Condie Rice. He even laughs at his own misstatements
to the press, such as the one about Colin Powell practicing abstinence.
Fleischer gives the impression that working with today's media made
his two and a half years as President George W. Bush's press liaison
seem like a life time. Fleischer boldly points out the negativity
of today's press. What it was like to work in the White House. And
what it was like to have President Bush as a boss. He also shares
some memorial "pinch-me" moments linked to his Jewish
faith and being an American. Those wanting to read something negative
about the president may feel let down when Fleischer explains why
he left his job after less than three years.
Fleischer
gives us an interesting account as he shares his views on the press,
the White House, his co-workers, and the one job that tested him
to the extreme. Pass it around. It will create some great discussions.
