Strategy Questions Loom for Bush in Retirement Push

Mar 22, 2005 — ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Reuters) - Seven weeks after launching a drive to remake Social Security, President Bush has visited 18 states and traveled thousands of miles but has had little success in getting the public to warm to his idea of private accounts or in enticing Democrats to bring forth ideas.

Experts say Bush is getting closer to some crucial decisions on how far he wants to go to broker a compromise he might be able call a victory in his effort to change the national retirement system.

One dilemma for him is that some ideas that might appeal to Democrats could risk infuriating his conservative Republican base.
