An impressive career, and yet I can't remember him uttering one word in public in all those years. Now maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but I did hear his first impression of the Obama presidency last week. In case you missed it, you'd be forgiven if you thought he'd weigh in on the stimulus package or the bank bailout or even Gitmo. No, apparently he's bent out of shape that Obama isn't wearing his suit coat in the Oval Office. That's it? After all this time, his first public pronouncement is about that? And to make matters worse, pictures have been circulating of Presidents George W. Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, and Kennedy in the Oval Office without their coats. Thanks for coming in, Andy.

Andy Card was White House Chief of Staff...
...under President Bush and headed up the White House Iraq Group. Prior to that, he served under President Reagan as Special Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and subsequently as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, where he was liaison to governors, statewide elected officials, state legislators, mayors and other elected officials. Under the first President Bush, Card served as Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy. He also served as Secretary of Transportation, coordinated the administration's disaster relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Andrew, and directed the transition from the Bush Administration to the Clinton Administration. Card also ran the Republican National Convention in 2000.
