President Bush's son George informed White House Chief of Staff John Sununu last Wednesday that Sununu had alienated members of the cabinet, the White House Staff and the Republican community. The message was meant to be taken as a suggestion that Sununu offer to resign. But it also came with an ultimatum. Instead, Sununu sought to prove to the president that his supporters outnumber his critics and that he should remain in his post. Officials said that the president himself met with Sununu Sunday. The outcome of that session was unclear.
