Bush in Michigan campaigning on the country's "Bright Economic Outlook"


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,129150,00.html

"Bush tells Mich. voters that conditions are improving, thanks to tax cuts" (NOTE: "Bright Economic Outlook" is the teaser headline for this article on the Fox front page).

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — President Bush (search) voiced sympathy on Monday for this industrial state's economic distress but told a receptive northern Michigan audience that conditions are improving. "We've come through a lot together," Bush told an outdoor rally at the Grand Traverse County Civic Center.

Bush noted he was the first sitting president to come here since Gerald Ford (search) rode in the National Cherry Festival Parade here in 1975 — and Ford was from Michigan. "It's good to be here in cherry country. Today, it looks like Bush-Cheney country too," Bush said.

Bush said he would "make sure good jobs stay in America" and would try to open more foreign markets for Michigan farmers. "We want them feeding hungry mouths all over the world," Bush said.

He again mocked what he said was Kerry's shifting position on the war in Iraq. Bush said he was heartened when Kerry said last week that he would have still voted to give Bush war authority had he known in the fall of 2002 what he knows now — that there were no weapons of mass destruction. Still, Bush said to laughter, "he has 78 days to change his mind."

3. If it's always darkest before the dawn, then the economy can't help but
get "brighter".
