Scooter is Dick Cheney's Dick Cheney. He's someone who can handle pressure very well. I've never seen him get stressed out.

Republican members are hearing from their constituents that any message on immigration has got to take into account concerns about the border.

I think he will bring a lot of experience with the markets. At the White House that was sort of his key responsibility -- to monitor, analyze and interpret market trends for the president.

Josh would have a calendar up in his office, where he would, in consultation with everybody else, map out when the president would be briefed on an issue, then tie it to events on the Hill and major announcements.

You had job creation last month across the board, so all of this suggests the labor market is deepening and broadening and I think that spells good news for the Republican Party going into the 2006 election.

I think the White House is very frustrated. There's been good data on gross domestic product, employment and business spending, and even oil prices are receding. But it's not reflected in the polling data on Americans' views.

In person, he holds his cards very close, even with his closest advisers. He doesn't speak up at meetings, doesn't let his views be known to other people, because he views his job as providing advice to one person, the president.

But I think the president is going to come out with some very ingenious policy initiatives, particularly in consumer-driven health care and energy independence.

Josh will be a policy-oriented chief of staff. I think that will be reflected in his hiring decisions.
