John Sununu, the abrasive White House Chief of Staff, is discovering that the many people he has insulted or slighted are enjoying his recent travails and asking how long he will last in his job. Sununu's brusque style has alienated Republicans and Democrats alike. And some former White House officials say Sununu should recognize that he is not serving Bush well.; "In light of his problems with his jet travel and all that, he ought to be a little careful," said Lyn Nofziger, a White House political director under Ronald Reagan. The latest example came on Tuesday, when a reporter asked Obama about reports that some members of Congress were considering legislation to block Obama's executive actions on immigration. President Bush said that Sununu's job was safe but Presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater made it clear that Bush directed Sununu to make no more embarrassing trips.
