"Rove Gets Bigger Role at White House"

Posted Tue, Feb 8, 2005 at 10:00 am

It's official:

DETROIT (Reuters) - President Bush's senior adviser, Karl Rove, will take on a wider role in developing and coordinating policy in the president's second term, the White House announced on Tuesday.

Rove, who was Bush's top political strategist during his 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns, will become a deputy White House chief of staff in charge of coordinating policy between the White House Domestic Policy Council, National Economic Council, National Security Council and Homeland Security Council...

Bush's former chief speech writer, Michael Gerson, will become assistant to the president for policy and strategic planning and will have a lead role in advancing Bush's "compassionate agenda," such as his faith-based initiative...

To summarize, Rove will be coordinating the efforts involving:

  • Domestic Policy
  • National Economic Policy
  • National Security Policy
  • Homeland Security Policy

My cynical prediction: more terror alerts, but timed with the release of economic data.

UPDATE: Whatever could the BushBots think about this news? Here, let's find out:

Cue the Imperial Theme Music

This [link to Rove article -- LW] won't make the lunatic left happy.

Is there some way to get these people to stop calling themselves "conservatives?"

My Boy Bush has an agenda "ok" and it has nothing to do with any compassionate ideals. Bush needs to help the mexican government and its real plans and bush will help that advancment of total corruption inside this non nation with a full understanding of what bush has planed called the final solution for all who stand up for the ideals of right and wrong.
bush talks about human rights and the ideals of a nation and the ideals of freedom and all of this is a joke to our bush. and wait until 2008 and the council and its policy get started on you.

where is bin laden?
