The patriotic address, taped on Friday, also profited from slightly better financial news: the economy grew in the first quarter of the year, if only by .6 percent, there were fewer job losses and the employment rate fell slightly.
“No temporary setbacks can hold back the most powerful force in our economy — the ingenuity of the American people,” Bush said. “Because of your hard work and dedication, I am confident that we will weather this rough period and emerge stronger than ever,” President Bush in his weekly radio address today.
He also alleged that his administration was been upfront and candid about the troubles affecting the United States economy. Bush also highlighted the $117 billion in tax rebates coming to 130 million households.
Also, President George W. Bush asked the Congress on Thursday to approve $770 million to alleviate the food crisis due to increasing food prices around the world.
