Pooling POTUS and Petraeus in the Oval Office
President Bush met with Gen. David Petraeus today in the Oval Office. After the session, the press pool was ushered in — and ushered out before any questions could be asked or answered — for a brief comment from the president and a briefer one from the general.
For the second day in a row, Bush is saying nothing publicly about the nation’s economic woes.
Says press secretary Dana Perino:
“There are times, believe it or not, when policymakers actually need to, like, work on making some policy. Everyone was very busy yesterday making sure that all the i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed before they moved forward with action last night. So you didn’t hear from the president yesterday. I will keep you as updated as I possibly can. I don’t expect you’ll hear from the president today on this, either.”
