Bush to make statement on congressional negotiations on financial crisis
President Bush will make a statement Friday on the status of congressional negotiations on the $700 billion rescue plan for the U.S. financial markets.
The president's statement follows late-night talks on Capitol Hill that pitted Democrats against Republicans who are not going along with the president's proposal.
On Thursday, the president hosted a historic meeting at the White House on the financial crisis. It included not only Hill leaders but presidential nominees John McCain and Barack Obama as well. But that meeting was divisive, and more talks will have to be held in Congress.
