Social Security 'War Room'

Bush Sets Up Social Security 'War Room': "A new Social Security war room inside the Treasury Department is pumping out information to sell President Bush's plan, much like any political campaign might do.

The president's opponents are organized too, though they do not enjoy the resources of the White House or Treasury to sell their message.

It is developing talking points to ensure that all officials are ``singing off the same song sheet,'' Nichols said. And it will soon launch a Web site featuring the president's comments on the issue, copies of speeches and news stories and columns that are supportive of the Bush plan.

Additionally, it will deliver ``rapid response'' to media coverage it doesn't like. ``If there is an editorial in a paper that does not reflect the view of the president, they will engage in the traditional rapid response effort to ensure an op-ed or letter to the editor that states our view,'' Nichols said."

IMHO: Bush is selling us a stinky program, that will obviously benefit corporate America, and not John Q. Public.
