Toward the end of the Carter Administration we did not have email, we did not have everything is handed out in paper or announced over the loudspeaker, but the administration was so on the ropes and offensive that it got harder and harder to get through the top officials, harder and harder to get routine things from the. I think the best time for any of the administration was certainly true of george w. Bush when they 1st walk in the door then not only had an agenda but president ial transitions are now so orchestrate
