Josh Bolten talked about the relationship between the press and the George W. Bush administration. He argued there was some hostility and that the media was biased against the Bush administration. He suggested that White House employees should not spend all their time "wrought up" over how badly the press is treating them, and that there were times that President Bush did not mind tough questions from interviewers. Mr. Bolten also highlighted the former president's various meetings with heads of state, including Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel. Mr. Bolten also described his working relationship with the late Tony Snow, whom he hired as press secretary.
