Bush Opens Door to Changes in His Plan
Which means Rove opens door to changes in his marketing strategy ...

ALBUQUERQUE, March 22 - Even as he travels the country selling his Social Security overhaul, President Bush is beginning to acknowledge some of the constraints of his plan for individual accounts.

He warns audiences they will not be able to just cash in their accounts when they retire. He says that the accounts may enhance retirement income for younger workers, but he admits they will not fix the ailing Social Security system over all.

And at an event here on Tuesday, as he often does, Mr. Bush modestly described individual accounts as just one idea "people ought to seriously consider," rather than a nonnegotiable proposal. His comments, taken together, offer further evidence that the argument for individual accounts remains difficult, and that Mr. Bush may wind up accepting a plan different from the one he first outlined.

"I believe all ideas ought to be on the table," Mr. Bush said.

Even the slogan at the president's public events has changed. At the New Mexico event, gone were the banners that once declared the president's interest in "Strengthening Social Security."

saurove is lying. How can yellow rogue 'change' his plan when he admits he has none? saurove is waiting 2 see what sticks 2 the wall B4 committing yellow rogue on anything. So far nothing has caught on. I'm glad the Democrats have kept their mouths shut. Force these neo-con country-wrecking ass wipes 2 own something for once!
