Five-point plan Straight from The Raw Story, TIME: Bush's five point plan to 'rescue' his presidency: 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) Thank god they're the party of ideas, eh?
