Just because the President wants to serve another four years, doesn’t mean all his top advisors do. Some will leave because they no longer feel loyal to the President, and some are quietly asked to leave.

In the last 2 years of Bush’s 2 nd term, the following top aides to Bush have quit: Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, November 8, 2006 Donald Rumsfeld John Bolton, Ambassador to the United Nations, December 4, 2006 John Bolton Harriet Miers, White House Consul and former Supreme Court nominee, January 4, 2007 Harriet Miers Francis Harvey, Army Secretary, March 2, 2007 Francis Harvey Monica Goodling, Justice Department White House liaison, April 6 Monica Goodling Peter McNutly, Deputy Attorney General, May 14, 2007 Peter McNutly Sara Taylor, White House Political Director and microtargeting guru, May 27, 2007 Sara Taylor Dan Bartlett, White House Counselor, June 1, 2007 Gen.
