3. Don’t begin to think you’re the President. You’re not. The Constitution provides for only one.

4. In the execution of Presidential decisions work to be true to his views, in fact and tone.

*** markbnj sez *** I actually approve of his actions in this Rule. He has very carefully followd this Rule.

5. Know that the immediate staff and others in the Administration will assume that your manner, tone and tempo reflect the President’s.

*** markbnj sez ***I do not approve of the Secretary's actions in this Rule. However, he has very carefully followd this Rule.

$$$ Rumsfeld Says $$$

6. Learn to say “I don’t know.” If used when appropriate, it will be often.

*** markbnj sez ***I do not belive that a honest analysis of this rule would EVER show that the Secretary's actions in this administration have EVER shown that he even knows how to SAY the words, "I don't know"

7. If you foul up, tell the President and correct it fast. Delay only compounds mistakes.

*** markbnj sez *** I Think THIS is the MOST damaging statement to possibly emerge that will hurt Donald Rumsfeld forever and forever.Pleaes Discuss (and Document freely!) I will leave it to others to suggest why Mr. Rumsfeld has failed.
