		BOLTEN: Let me tell you again what I hope they’re saying, and that is that he likes us to be informed, that he likes to integrate the career and the political staff so that everybody is operating from similar sources of information, and that the career people are well integrated into the process.
		BOLTEN: I saw some of the reverse in the previous administration as well, where there might be two or three people in charge of the same thing, or there might be two or three different paths into the president for a decision on a particular issue.
		BOLTEN: The -- somebody in government, somebody in the administration needs to be responsible for ensuring that all of the utterances that come out of the administration are essentially consistent with the other utterances that are coming out of the administration, and most important, consistent with the president’s overall policy.

		Bolten also said Medicare actuaries at the Health and Human Services Department "had different estimates all along" from those of the Congressional Budget Office about the cost of the Medicare prescription drug bill signed last year, but they had not "completed their estimate until well after" the bill was signed.

		Bolten, a graduate of Princeton University and Stanford Law School, has been a loyal lieutenant to Bush since Bush’s presidential campaign, when he was the Policy Director both for the campaign and the transition phase between the election and Bush taking office.
		Since Bolten has strongly endorsed past and future tax cuts, it is inevitable that he will face a very difficult task as head of OMB.
		We are eager to see how Bolten views his new, more public role, and to see if his past penchant for secrecy, deficit-increasing tax cuts, and regulatory attacks will be reversed.

	Wampum: And it's not even Flashback Friday yet
		Bolten is to replace Mitchell E. Daniels Jr., who announced earlier this month that he plans to return to Indiana in June, probably to run for governor next year.
		Bolten, a silver-haired former Goldman Sachs executive, is soft-spoken and intensely private.
		That Bolten cut his political eye teeth in the BIAA during that time sends shivers up my spine: Even more disconcerting is that he is the son of long-time CIA insider, Seymour Bolten, who also happened to be George H.W. Bush's assistant director for operations in the mid-'70's.
