[edit] PNAC

Why is there no mention of PNAC members in the Bush Administration? This is a crucial issue and yet no mention.

Check.~~ Michael J Swassing 04:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chiefs of staff

Should say more about deputy chiefs of staff... we all know Karl Rove has lots of sway over government policy, and Joe Hagen is also tremendously powerful per per interview in yesterday's Fresh Air with Terry Gross --66.166.234.138 23:46, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

The first paragraph is a little biased against the Bush Administration.

[edit] I agree fist paragraph should be revised

We all have opinions, but we must maintain neutrality when authoring a bio. The first paragraph should be dates and info about when and where, not about the only democrat in his cabinet.

[edit] We need a list of those who have resigned from the administration

That's what we need. --I've begun on a partial list. I need validation and additional resources to complete it. I doubt I'll return to resume my work on the section. I also made a controvercy subsection that I hope people will improve upon in a non-partisan manner ;) (User:Rekutyn)

I have completed the List of Resigned Cabinet Members. Also, the paragraph regarding Norman Mineta should probably be re-worded now that he has resigned. --TommyBoy 19:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Is there a rationale for the order of this list? Or for that matter, the order of the Cabinet members table? I think the list of resignations could be more useful if it was ordered in chronological order. Schi 17:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maria Cino

Should we add Maria Cino, the acting Secretary of Transportation, on the "Cabinet" chart? I think it's useful information and should be noted somewhere in the article. Schi 18:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rumsfeld

The page should be updated to mention Rumsfeld's resignation (about time!). On a side note, it's odd that nearly EVERYONE got replaced in 2005... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.122.126.146 (talk • contribs) 01:48, November 16, 2006 (UTC).

It is alluded to in the intro, in discussion of Robert Gates, but I've also added a footnote to Rumsfeld's name in the Cabinet chart that explains his resignation. Schi 18:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality

Jhamilton2087 added a neutrality disputed tag to the article[1] but did not discuss rationale. What's the dispute, and how can we fix it? Schi 20:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I removed it. If JHamilton2087 can't explain why the tag was added, it's not up to the rest of us to try to guess. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 14:50, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weasel words

Critics allege, however, that Bush is willing to overlook mistakes made by loyal subordinates, and that Bush has surrounded himself with "yes men".

Though there are sources, could one change this so that it doesn't use "Some say" statements? --Soliloquial 03:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article says very little

At the risk of stating the obvious, don't we desparatly need to creat the following articles with links thereto from this page: 1. Foreign policy of Bush Administration (to match the domestic policy article linked to at the bottom. 2. Criticisms of the Bush Administration. --NYCJosh 17:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Looking at the pages for the Reagan Administration, I think it is a mistake to separate an article discribing the history of the administration from an article about criticism of policies. The result is two separate articles that are both biased instead of one with balance. ~~ Michael J Swassing 15:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
