Pres. Bush - Emergency Economic Stabilization Plan
President Bush sought to reassure Americans that the economy will eventually recover from the global financial crisis, but he cautioned that it's going to take time and will not easy. There is no question about it we are in tough times. Have faith, this economy will recover President Bush said.
