George Bush actually said...

"I thanked them for their hard work over the past 6 weeks in dealing with a serious financial crisis."

"Sometimes people in Government never get thanked enough for all the hours they keep."

"Taken together, these steps represent decisive action to ease the credit crunch that is now threatening our economy."

"I call upon families, schools, child health professionals, faith-based and community organizations, and State and local governments to reach out to our Nation's young people."
