Bye-bye Scottie! Rove relieved of domestic policy duties

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has handed in his resignation, its about time! I have always felt that he was one of the most ineffectual press secretaries EVER. The White House needs a stronge personality that will be able to battle with the unhinged media each and everyday. Someone that is not afraid to get back in the face of the likes of David Gregory, John Roberts and Helen Thomas.
WASHINGTON Apr 19, 2006 (AP)— White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Wednesday he is resigning, continuing a shakeup in President Bush's administration that has already yielded a new chief of staff and could lead to a change in the Cabinet.

Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. For Members of Congress, the impact may be more tangible. Just 34% say they’re more likely to vote for someone who supports this legislation.
