Democrats Thank Bush for Terror Relief WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats, who routinely use their weekly radio address to slam President Bush (news - web sites), stepped up to the mike on Saturday to thank him instead. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton (news - web sites), both New York Democrats, saluted the Republican president as well as all Americans who rallied in support of victims of the airliner attacks this week, particularly those on New York's World Trade Center. ``On behalf of every New Yorker, on behalf of the 8 million people who live in this city, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to the president and the people of America who have given us their love, sorrow, grief, tears, support and prayers,'' Schumer said. ``Chuck and I are deeply grateful to all Americans for the outpouring of support for New York in our hour of need, beginning with President Bush,'' Clinton said. At the urging of New York senators and other lawmakers, Bush agreed to a $40 billion emergency package to fund counterterrorism and recovery efforts. On Friday, Bush visited the ruins of the World Trade Center where he promised a crowd chanting ``USA! USA!'' that those responsible for the violence would be punished. Schumer and Clinton, along with other Democrats, have battled Bush for months on matters from health care and education to judicial appointments and Social Security (news - web sites). But in their pre-recorded radio address on Saturday, in another sign of a new spirit of bipartisanship, New York's two senators hailed the president. Schumer and Clinton also paid tribute to those lost in the attacks and called for the entire nation to unite. ``That means all of us, of all races, religions, geographies and philosophies,'' Schumer said. ``If we do unite, we will win.'' Clinton noted, ``'Let us have faith,' Abraham Lincoln once said, 'that right makes might, and in faith let us to the end dare to do our duty.''' ``The events of September 11, 2001, form a crucible out of which an even stronger nation can be forged,'' Clinton said. ``That is our duty, and I know that is what New Yorkers and Americans will do.'' dailynews.yahoo.com
