Eyewitness News report on Ari Fleischer’s departure as White House Press Secretary in 2003 as well as a look into his personal life at home in Indianapolis with wife Rebecca Davis Fleischer.
[AI-Generated Summary] White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer stepped down from his post this week to focus on his personal life and a new future with his wife, Becky Davis. The couple, who married in Davis's hometown of Indianapolis last November, is leaving their high-pressure Washington roles—Fleischer as a key member of President Bush's inner circle and Davis from the Department of Education—to pursue a more "normal" life. While Fleischer compares his tenure to the intensity of a perpetual World Series, he is ready to trade his status for freedom, including plans to write a book and join the speaking circuit. Although Davis lobbied to settle in Indiana, the couple eventually plans to make their home in New York to be near Fleischer's family and start their own. Despite their political backgrounds, both currently claim they have no intentions of running for office themselves.
