White House press secretary Ari Fleischer was brought to the nose of Air Force One after President Bush returned from a trip to Africa on Saturday. In his nearly three years at the White House, Mr. Fleischer has performed two briefings daily. What will we remember about his tenure? His ability to stay on the message? He was rarely cited by the media and often not in a full sentence.

"The Jews, I find are very, very selfish... When they have power, physical, financial or political neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the under dog," President Harry Truman wrote.

Fleischer is leaving the White House staff on Monday to try to find a high paid job.
