TIME: Bush's five point plan to 'rescue' his presidency

RAW STORY
Published: Sunday April 23, 2006


TIME Magazine's Mike Allen outlines a "five-point plan" posited by President Bush's new chief of staff Josh Bolten to "rescue" the Bush presidency in magazines to hit newsstands Monday.

The five key points include:

1) "Deploy guns and badges" -- to play to the conservative base on illegal immigration, using the cloak of Homeland Security.

2) Make Wall Street happy through tax cuts.

3) Brag more ("highlight the glimmer of success in Iraq").

4) Reclaim security by playing tough with Iran (On Iran, "Democrats will lose").

5) Court the press (pffer Tony Snow of Fox News the job of White House press secretary)

Start WWIII in hopes of retaining congressional control

#7

Make damn sure Cheney's uber-secret energy plan meeting of 2001 never sees the light of day

#8

Blame Clinton

[Warham]

They don't need to blame Clinton.

Clinton's failures have already been made public over the last six years.

Clinton and Socail Security
Clinton and Iraq
Clinton and Abu Graib
Clinton and Katrina
Clinton and Cunningham
Clinton and Plame
Clinton and Libby
Clinton and Abramoff
Clinton and DeLay
Clinton and FEMA
Clinton and Halliburton fraud
Clinton and circumventing FISA

Yeah it sure is.....

And Clinton still has 2 years left in office.

[Warham]

You left off The Waco Compound Fiasco and Selling Nuclear Secrets to the Chinese off the list...

I'll think of more.

Is this really the best we can do?

Massively denuding our Armed Forces and Intelligence services are two more.

Exactly.

This 5-point plan of Bolten's just goes to show how far this administration has sunk.

It's come down to PR survival. Talk tough w/ Iran as an election strategy?

Make Wall St. Happy. Be nice to the Media?

Bush doesn't need to be 'rescued'. He's not up for re-election.

True, but the article you posted doesn't paint the full picture either.

Warham, seriously, the Clinton stuff is so beyond ridiculous at this point.

[Warham]

Yes, it is.

But I wasn't the first one to mention Clinton in this thread.
