Despite all appearances, capitalism is not dead.
President George W. Bush today urged leaders of the world's biggest economies not to abandon free- market capitalism as they seek an escape from the financial crisis, calling it the ``best system'' for delivering growth.In a speech at the Manhattan Institute in New York before weekend talks among leaders from the Group of 20 nations, Bush said policy makers should resist the urge to meddle too much in markets as they seek to reverse the financial and economic turmoil now engulfing the world.

Look what they've done to the poor man. He actually had to say NICE things about New Yorkers.
Don't tell me this President isn't doing everything he can to help out the country.

Definitely one of the best speeches of his presidency. Now, if only he actually believed it and acted those opinions.

Just more unpatriotic negativity from liberals who hate America, and the troops.

@5 - Were you serving food and drinks during the speech? It's good to know that in these tough times people are still hiring the handicaped.

So is he talking about the capitalism where the government owns banks and insurance companies and auto makers?

Preznet Bush: Now I understand everyone's shit's emotional right now. But I've got a 3 point plan that's going to fix EVERYTHING.
Congressman #1: Break it down, Bush!
Preznet Bush: Number 1: We've got this guy 'Paulson'. Number 2: He's got a higher IQ than ANY MAN ALIVE. and Number 3: He's going to fix EVERYTHING.
