Bush likes people who keep low profiles. He likes to be the star. He doesn't like competition from within.

I do see this as a response to a weakened political situation, a willingness to do what it takes to maximize his influence.

He's a bold-stroke artist, but he's always been someone who adjusts his approach to fit the circumstances. His political capital is diminished, and his opponents are emboldened. I think he's reading the circumstances he finds himself in and adjusting accordingly.

He was never a leader on controversial social issues, ... He has always been more concerned with centrist business positions.

[Rove] has been instrumental in Bush's rise from the very beginning, because of his connection to politics and his fascination with policy and the close personal relationship that exists between them, ... It puts Bush in a very dependent position.

It's not inevitable that he will stand in gloom forever.

It's Libby now, pretty soon it could be Rove, and eventually there will be a danger for the White House that people are going to start asking if it is conceivable that they were acting without the approval of their bosses.

The fight for the soul of the party has not been concluded yet. The centrist Democrats are still alive, they want fiscal prudence, no big social spending programs. The Howard Dean wing of the Democratic Party has said you don't win by running as a paler version of the Republican mandate. Those two factions have not come to terms,

Today's events put him in a position of having to defend the ethical status of [the Bush] administration, to the extent that he is implicated in the activities of Rove and Libby, ... It raises questions [about] the man who said he would bring an ethical tone back to Washington.

Honesty is a huge issue because even people who disagreed with his policies respected his integrity.

What you have is someone with a fundamental distrust of government rolling the dice, cutting taxes and programs, and having it come back to bite him. It shines a spotlight on the fact that many of his budget decisions, in hindsight, look like mistakes.

What makes this different from past mistakes is that there are some very long-term consequences here: higher energy costs, and the dislocation of thousands of people for months to come, and the rebuilding of a city. None of that will come cheap, and can't be done without a robust federal presence.

This goes right to the core of his strength and right to the core of the thing that has enabled him to stay plausible despite the political partisan divide in the country. Now he's in damage control big time.

He's got to re-establish his leadership capability, and one of the ways he is doing that is by trying to show that he's hands-on in the recovery. He needs to send the signal that he is a hands-on manager to restore flagging confidence.

It does supplant the memories (of Katrina), assuming he does well.
