Interesting timing. Obama is scheduled to deliver his "major foreign policy address" at 10:45 a.m. But, today, for the first time since April, Bush is going to do a press conference -- at 10:20 a.m.:
President Bush is preparing to hold a news conference, his first full-blown meeting with reporters at the White House since April 29.That should instill confidence, huh?
White House press secretary Dana Perino said Bush would open with a statement about steps to help stabilize the housing and financial markets and his lifting of the executive ban on offshore oil drilling. He'll also call on lawmakers to pass long-stalled spending bills.
The economic news today is especially abysmal. Bush's economy and his war have drained the nation. But, Bush will always put partisan politics first. They're probably high-fiving each other at the White House for stepping on Obama's speech -- not realizing that the more the American people see George Bush, the less likely they are to vote for Bush's heir apparent, John McCain.
