"Naw, I think it's strategy. " Of course it is. The mentioning of poverty was a smoke screen. Partly to distract people from wondering why such incompetent hacks were appointed to such critical positions. But the main part is to justify rolling out a big new social engineering program, solidly rooted in some abstract theories. Not to mention high-powered cronyism. Obviously the cronyism problem hadn't sunk in. Karl Rove's sterling background in disaster recovery obviously qualifies him to head the effort.
