Bush NOT Out of Touch

A recent New York Times poll indicates that President Bush’s domestic and foreign policies are out of step with the American people. Specifically, people question his recent push to reform the Social Security system. On the foreign front, the poll shows that Americans do not feel Bush has a clear plan for getting out of Iraq.

PNAM feels that Bush strategists needs to activate the political capital earned by the win in the November election to turn around this unfortunate downward turn in support for the administration. Karl Rove needs to play the terrorist card again immediately. This should not be difficult given the communications between Osama Bin Laden and Abu Masab al Zarqawi made public last week, where attacks on American soil are imminent.

Americans need to be kept afraid in order for Bush to succeed in making the initial changes in the Social Security system that will eventually lead to its elimination altogether. Americans don’t need a free ride in retirement since the upper middle class and upper class Christian families will have more than enough assets to ride through a luxury filled retirement.

As for Iraq, the President’s strategist Rove needs to craft a better plan to placate the people in allowing the U.S. Government to establish a permanent protectorate in Iraq, and soon in Iran, to support American influence in the region for decades to come. After all, this has been the successful plan of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) since the mid 90s when Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Cheney, and Condi Rice urged Clinton to begin their world plan (the Bush White House, fortunately, has many founding members of PNAC on staff to this day).

The President needs the support of the American people to carry out these plans. PNAM sees this time as pivotal in securing this support in order to makee American strong and independent.
