My spouse, whose office is near Wall Street, reports the neighborhood is swarming with police in advance of a visit by President George W. Bush today.
The AP says:
NEW YORK (AP) — Saying the global financial crisis is “not a failure of the free market system,” President George W. Bush today called on the world leaders meeting this weekend to agree on coordinated reforms that wouldn’t overreach.
“Government intervention is not a cure-all,” Bush was to say later in New York, according to prepared remarks released in advance by the White House.
The president was delivering his message from the heart of Wall Street, at the venerable Federal Hall that was home to the first Congress and is within shouting distance of New York Stock Exchange.
The speech is Bush’s attempt to frame expectations for the high-level gathering he’s hosting in Washington this weekend. To rally a more coordinated world response to the financial meltdown, Bush is convening representatives of some of the world’s biggest industrial democracies, emerging nations and international bodies in Washington.
