| Description | Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, whose tell-all book blasts the Bush administration on issues including Hurricane Katrina, the election and the Iraq war, didn't say Friday whether he still considers himself a Republican.
But he did say he supports parts of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama's agenda.
"Some of what Obama says, his overall message, is very similar to the one we ran on in 2000 about changing the way Washington works and what I had so much hope in," said McClellan, who became the White House press secretary in 2003 after serving as spokesman for President Bush when he was the governor of Texas.
"But it's a very difficult thing to do, and I hope some of the Obama staff will take a look at [McClellan's book] and consider what they need to do if they become president."
McClellan also said he has "a lot of respect" for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain. |
