Bush gropes for answers

US President George W. Bush on Saturday touted an upcoming economic forum he has organized in Texas as an opportunity to meet with government economic planners and consider ideas to strengthen the US economy. Bush said he will host the event tomorrow at Baylor University, "to meet with people on the front lines of the American economy." Guests include leaders of top US corporations, a Paraguayan-born restaurant owner from Delaware, a Mexican-American entrepreneur from southern California and a union member from Waco, as well as farmers and government economic planners. Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe said, "Instead of a plan that will address Americans' economic vulnerabilities, we get a staged forum in Waco ... to address Republican political vulnerabilities ... There's no seat at the table for Democrats ... Every seat at the table has a sign that says: `Reserved For Special Interests Only.'"
