Fleischer Reflects on White House Years
(Jerusalem Post) Tom Tugend - Ari Fleischer, 43, left the White House nearly six months ago after two intensive and high-profile years as President George Bush's press secretary and spokesman. In an interview last week, Fleischer said: "My Jewishness was never an issue. The White House staff is overwhelmingly Texan and Christian, but I found it a very comfortable place to work. Besides, I wasn't the only Jew. There was Josh Bolten, the number one policy person, Blake Gottesman, the president's personal aide who travels with him everywhere, and Brad Blakeman, the president's scheduling director."
