President Bush Participates in Briefing on Interstate 35-W Bridge Damage and Minnesota Floods – August 21, 2007
President Bush on Tuesday said, “I understand rural America pretty well. Sometimes people in rural America wonder whether or not the people in the cities think about them. I appreciate you coming to brief me, because I want those folks to understand the President thinks about it; the senators and the governor have heard about it, and they care about it. There’s help that’s available. We’d love to get the small businesses up and running, maybe help to get some shelter down there for people. I’m looking forward to making sure that the right people show up here on the ground. Secretary Peters has been the right person to coordinate this effort for the bridge, and we’ll get somebody down here in charge to give the people in your district some hope.”

President Bush on Tuesday said, “It’s our people’s interests that Canada and Mexico work closely together. In other words, there’s a good reason why our leaders should come together on a regular basis. First reason why is to figure out ways to continue to enhance prosperity. It’s in our interests that the Canadian lifestyle be as strong as it is, and it’s in our interests that prosperity spread to Mexico. If you’re a U.S. citizen, you want people that live close to you to be prosperous. The more prosperity there is in your neighborhood, the more hopeful your neighborhood is.”
