Bush's Strategy: Pretend Everything is OK
Worried about Bush's low job approval rating and his low ratings on handling the economy, the White House put together a closed door session for advisors of the vacationing president.
In Iraq, daily deaths, failure of the government to produce a constitution as planned, no end in sight. In the U.S., very high gas prices and public concern about where Bush is leading the country.
After conferring, the president's advisors determined that everything is great but they just haven't done a good enough job of telling the country. They decided they need a better PR plan.
The spin in the conservative Washington Times article today is masterful.
