Scott McClellan resignation

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan announced his resignation today.

McClellan has come under fire for not providing enough information to the public, most notably by White House reporter David Gregory after Dick Cheney shot a friend in the face during a hunting accident.

I think this change will be good for the White House, as Bush’s staff has been criticized recently for losing touch with the Republican community and calls for changes in staff have been numerous.

It is imperative that those who represent the organization are well-liked and provide a positive image. If this is not occurring, a change is necessary.

The White House needed to make a change to improve their image. Hopefully, a new press secretary will mark a new start for an administration with a troubled image.

Mike McCurry, who served as President Clinton's press secretary, offers some advice for the new press secretary.
