The price of being close to the President is delivering bad news. You fail him if you dont tell him the truth. Others wont do it. – Donald Rumsfeld

Leave the Presidents family business to him. You will have plenty to do without trying to manage the First Family. They are likely to do fine without your help. – Donald Rumsfeld
