President Bush speaks during a press conference, Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2007, in the press briefing room as the White House in Washington.
President Bush: Good morning. We're now more than halfway through October, and the new leaders in Congress have had more than nine months to get things done for the American people. Unfortunately, they haven't managed to pass many important bills. Now the clock is winding down and in some key areas Congress is just getting started.…Congress has work to do on health care.
...Congress has work to do to keep our people safe.
…Congress has work to do on the budget.
…Congress has work to do on education.
…Congress has work to do on housing.
…Congress has work to do on trade.
…Congress has work to do for our military veterans.
…Congress also needs to complete the Veterans Affairs appropriations bill that funds veterans' benefits and other ongoing programs.
…Congress has work to do for law enforcement and the judiciary…
With all these pressing responsibilities, one thing Congress should not be doing is sorting out the historical record of the Ottoman Empire.
AMEN!
