This is characteristically another George Bush failure.
This morning the President, Mr. Bush, preempted time on all the national TV networks to make a statement about the financial turmoil on Wall Street. His statement took less than three minutes. What did he say at this moment when all America is wondering how deep is the morass? He told us he was canceling today's fund raising trips to stay with his economic advisers.That's it! No word of analysis, comfort, solutions, purpose, or strategy.He was both inarticulate and devoid of any relationship with the American people.This continues his total absence of leadership.This is a perfect demonstration how grim things are in Washington and for the country as a whole.
