Karl Rove Promoted To Coordinate Domestic & Foreign Policy

HeadlineFeb 09, 2005

In other news from Washington, the White House has announced President Bush’s senior adviser and top political strategist Karl Rove will be given more power within the administration. On Tuesday Rove was named deputy White House chief of staff. He will be in charge of coordinating policy between the White House Domestic Policy Council, National Economic Council, National Security Council and Homeland Security Council. For the first time Rove will have a formal role in shaping the country’s foreign policy. Outgoing Democratic National Committee Chairman Terence McAuliffe said “Bush knows that Rove is neither an economic nor a national security expert; he’s simply an ideological strategist who has a history of bending the truth and using dirty tricks to get his way.”
