Actually, as a public speaker he was rather simpy....scary considering our country is falling apart. We need someone who sounds like they arent afraid to speak in public, lol, but I guess thats too much to ask for these days. Who will they get to announce the next bailouts for Wells fargo and JPMorgan Chase? Thats all the press secretary does now anyway.

Exactly!

Something about him kinda made my skin crawl. He never seemed to directly answer questions and he always had a disturbing look on his face. I also feel that he did not have a lot of charisma.

In other words, he was every press secretary ever. It's kind of dumb celebrating the departure of a guy who's replacement will just do the same things that people holding his position have done for generations. It's like celebrating the retirement of the white house landscaper.

Wow, mark his sorry butt down as the worse spokesman ever in the WH.

Seems everyone attached to the dung beetle in the WH is the worst ever for some reason.

He never answered a legit question ever and was good at covering and lying for the scam artist.

They are dropping like flies.

Guess Barry cannot pick someone who wants to stay on the job very well.
Shows his lack of leadership and poor judgment.
