Upon hearing the bailout failed to pass in the house:
A White House spokesman said that President Bush was “very disappointed.”
“There’s no question that the country is facing a difficult crisis that needs to be addressed,” Tony Fratto told reporters. He said the president will be meeting with members of his team later in the day “to determine next steps.”
This fuckin’ guy didn’t determine “next steps” BEFORE the vote? Contingency plans weren’t discussed? What does this man DO all day?
Update: Bush added,
“Our strategy is to continue to address this economic situation head on. We’ll be working to develop a strategy,”
How recursive.
