Out of a Job

Now, i don't mean to be a cynic myself but don't we, as PR students, have to accept that the majority of our job is putting a positive spin on negative situations? I think that bad things happen to everyone, its not cynical to not give up. All you can do sometimes is put your hands on your head and figure out how to get on, without accepting defeat. Whether he was innocent or not we cannot expect a person in a political position, or any position of authority for that matter, to just say "oops, i guess i'll quit now." There is always a chance of framing the situation in a way that makes it easier to swallow. I think that he was just trying his best to work through the situation. Can we say we would have done anything differently? He's not cheating or stealing, and we don't know for sure if he's even lying. All we can say is he's trying to make this work.
