Bush.

She also spoke directly with Bush frequently throughout the week. In August 2004 Hughes resumed full-time employment for and the Bush campaign, establishing an the office in Air Force One, from where she was able to plan for the 2004 Republican National Convention and the final phases of the 2004 election. Her praise has been received in the media by The Dallas Morning News as “the most powerful woman ever to serve in the White House” and also by ABC News as Bush’s “most essential advisor.”

Starting with a September 26, 2005, stop in Egypt, Hughes went on a “listening tour” of the Middle East to speak with leaders and people from the region. This was a response to growing fears in America about rampant anti-Americanism in the Middle East. Hughes was the third person chosen for this task by President Bush, following unsuccessful attempts by Charlotte Beers and Margaret Tutwiler. For her tour, Hughes asked two Citizen Ambassadors to accompany her: a college student, Tina Karima Daoud, and William O’Brien, a retired high school geography teacher.

On March 14, 2005, Bush announced his intention to nominate Hughes for the undersecretary of state for public diplomacy with the rank of ambassador — a job focused on changing foreigners’ perceptions about America. The Senate confirmed her nomination in July 2005. In her new capacity, Hughes spoke of improving the world’s perception of the United States via creation of a “rapid-response unit” and a plan to “forward-deploy regional SWAT teams”. During a town hall meeting on September 8, 2005, a State Department employee complained that “recently, we’ve had tremendous amount of difficulty in some cases getting clearance for our ambassadors to speak.” Hughes replied, “If they make statements based on something I sent them, they’re not going to be called on the carpet.”

In 1994 Hughes was working with George W. Bush, at first, as head of his presidential campaign for the position as governor in Texas before becoming counselor from 2001 until 2002, during his time as in the presidency of the United States.

And President Bush has worked to say, let’s be reasonable, let’s work to value life, let’s try to reduce the number of abortions, let’s increase adoptions. And I think those are the kind of policies that the American people can support, particularly at a time when we’re facing an enemy, and really the fundamental difference between us and the terror network we fight is that we value every life. It’s the founding conviction of our country, that we’re endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, the right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
