What is Bush saying about the economy...................ABSOLUTELY NOTHING..............he's been told to shut up. Besides he's too busy giving cushy ambassador jobs to his old cronies and moneyboys:



BUSH INTENDS to name California investment banker
Rockwell A. Schnabel as ambassador to Italy and San
Francisco banker Howard Leach as ambassador to France,
according to U.S. diplomatic officials.
Bush did not plan to announce the nominations until
their candidacies were reviewed by the host nations and
background checks completed, officials said.

The names circulated Tuesday in overseas news
reports; Reynolds’ and Leach’s candidacies were first
reported by The New York Times.
Leach, an agricultural business investment banker and
former finance chairman of the Republican National
Committee, has donated $282,000 to Bush and other
Republican candidates.
Reynolds invited Bush to join him and his investment
firm partner William DeWitt Jr. in the purchase of the Texas
Rangers baseball team in 1989, and credited the future
president with improvements such as getting a deal for a
new stadium, signing talented young players, and bringing
pitcher Nolan Ryan to Texas to finish his Hall of Fame
career.
Reynolds and DeWitt raised more than $3 million for
the Bush presidential campaign and served as co-chairmen
of Bush’s inaugural committee.
Schnabel, a deputy commerce secretary for former
President George Bush, would replace Thomas Foglietta, a
former congressman from Pennsylvania with strong family
ties in Italy who held the post for four years.
Born in Amsterdam, Schnabel, 64, was the Los
Angeles Olympic Committee’s envoy to the Netherlands in
1983 and 1984. He became undersecretary for travel and
tourism in 1989 after four years as ambassador to Finland
and joined Bush’s Commerce department in 1991.
