WASHINGTON — President Bush told a country engulfed by dire economic news that it should not expect a sudden recovery but rather a gradual rebound that will test people’s patience.
“I know that the days are dim right now for a lot of folks,” Bush said. “But I firmly believe tomorrow is going to be brighter.”
Bush also reached out to European leaders to urge coordination on efforts to solve the financial crisis spreading around the globe.
