Bush's New Chief of Staff Signals Shake-Up

[CatWoman]

WASHINGTON - Signaling a possible shake-up among President Bush's senior advisers, the new White House chief of staff told top presidential aides Monday to expect changes that "refresh and re-energize the team." He invited anyone who is thinking of leaving before year's end to do so now.

Joshua Bolten, who took over the top staff job late Friday, did not ask for anyone's resignation in his first Monday morning staff meeting with the president's senior aides, presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said. No one stepped forward to say they would leave, either, McClellan said.

But Bolten has Bush's full authority to make changes to the president's staff, which has had a low turnover rate, with many aides serving him for years. Bolten already has had closed door meetings with some top advisers and plans more in the coming days, McClellan said.

McClellan said Bolten told the aides to expect "some changes and adjustments" after he's gone through the process of talking to the staff. At the same time, McClellan said that "you have to balance change with continuity."

3. Translation: "We're going down and we want to consolidate power fast."

If you have any resemblance of an independent mind, get the fuck out!

McCellan: "Change with continuity" balance? Does he listen to himself? You have to balance change with status quo?

4. Window dressing...

How much you want to bet that most of America couldn't give a SHIT who the Chief of Staff is? It's their policies that suck, not the people implementing them.

5. A shake up means nothing unless there is change in policy

and Bush is not going to change his policies. It's the man at the top (and Cheney) who the American people are sick of.
