G-20 summit leaders to Bush: Thanks for the duck but we will wait for President-elect Obama.

Thinkprogress:

At the end of the economic summit, President Bush said:

Those of you who have followed my career know that I'm a free market person — until you're told that if you don't take decisive measures then it's conceivable that our country could go into a depression greater than the Great Depressions.

The conclusion -- that a cause-and-effect relationship existed between his free market philosophy and the present fear of an Extra-Great Depression -- went unspoken and presumably unrecognized.

If I lived on the East Coast I would have dropped by for a meal since the taxpayers are paying for it. These Leaders know Bush now and don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. All have seen how stupid Hank Paulson and Bennie are so they will wait for the United States next President on Jan. 20th. It will be interesting to hear the truth from these Leaders after Bush leaves office, they must have alot of stories to tell.
