This is the line that jumps out of the agenda for the Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy that President Bush is convening:
3:05 pm (EST) Saturday: "President Bush makes a statement...''
"Interpretation will be provided.''
That's not Texan to English, however.
That's English to Arabic and Chinese and French and German and Japanese and Russian and much more for the leaders of the G-20 nations assemlbing in the State Dining Room of the White House tonight for a summit dinner and then attending meetings Saturday morning at the National Bulding Museum.
It will be the first of many such talks about the global economic crisis -- with 15 nations in Europe already recording the official recession-defining two quarters of declining growth and the United States solidly in its first quarter of decline. But it will be the last chance for Bush to preside over such an assembly.
President-elect Barack Obama is sending his own representatives to the summit to report back.
With their own interpretation of events.

How about Bush-speak to English? Most Texans speak better than Bush does.
