Comments from your White House Press Secretary
This will be the last White House Press Release to be published during President scrabman’s administration. As your White House Press Secretary for the last 2 terms, it has been a privilege to serve the public in this role as well as a rewarding experience to understand what goes on behind the scenes in the executive branch of our government. I thank scrabman for giving me this opportunity and for allowing me the freedom to do what I do best - write.
In the earlier moments of being WHPS, I sometimes found the job to be quite stressful, especially when there was a policy or direction we were taking that I personally may not have agreed with. However, with the help of many friends, I have learned to set my personal political beliefs aside within The Briefing Room so that I could do my job well without diluting the messages the administration felt the public needed to know. In this process, I have made many friends from many different parties and political and ideological backgrounds both at home and around the world by seeking common ground to gain understanding and by giving people a voice and treating them each with respect and dignity.
I have come to love the job of White House Press Secretary and, should our next President choose, I would be honored to serve as your WHPS once more. If our next president decides that someone else would better serve them in this capacity, then I will continue to write my articles in Freedom & Responsibility, having had great memories of being a 2-term member of a presidential cabinet that consisted of many talented people as I have served this great nation of eUSA. I thank all of you who have come on this journey with me so far and I hope to bring you with me again!

A Few Words from President scrabman
Have any of you ever wondered what President scrabman sounds like in real life? Have you wanted to know what advice a new player could get from someone who has been a party president, a Field Marshall in battle, a member of congress for 4 terms and President of eUSA for 3-1/2 terms? Then sit back, grab yourself a sandwich and something to drink and listen to this podcast to the outside world by Spike Nesmith, half of which is devoted to President scrabman and the navigation of eRepublik.
________________________________________ __________________________________

Happy 4th of July!!!
Good morning, America!
Happy Birthday!
I would like to thank Mjdiv for his service to our country, not only as a member of President Scrab's cabinet, but as a Congressman, and author on economic topics (which I think were excellent, and probably helped a lot of eAmericans make fortunes, though for someone math-impaired like me, took me a bit over my head).
For me, today is somewhat poignant, as I imagine Scrab metaphorically climbing on board eAmerica's Marine 1 to fly him back to West Virginia.
He has been a friend, and though we disagreed on a lot of issues, he responded to my PM's quickly and respectfully. He was ePresident for most of my e-life, and the first (in my mind) to lay the foundations for American military success, and American respect on the world stage.
I'll write an article later today in my rag, the Daily Squid, with an endorsement for US President, but in the meantime, I just hope people will mull over some issues.
1). How important is predictability and stability to you in a President?
2). What candidate will be taken most seriously by our friends and enemies abroad?
3). Do we want a President who will take us down an isolationist path, or one who will actively reach out to allies old and new, and keep America involved as a force in world affairs?
Happy Independence Day.
I know we're not supposed to talk about RL issues here so much, but today it is not such a bad idea to give a moment between the BBQ's to think about the many who have sacrificed, either a little, or everything they had, over the last 233 years to provide and protect the freedoms and opportunities we have in RL.

Farewell Scrabman!
So what's the deal with the Q5 hospital in Kansas?
Happy fourth everyone! And a sad farewell to Scrabman. Vote HR tomorrow!
Emerick for President!
Thanks guys! I fully support Harrison Richardson as the next President. He and One Eye have been invaluable in my time of office and I know they can lead this country in the right direction!
HRMAXXX! Harrison is greater.
HRMAXX!!!
This is a Red Alert!
