President George W. Bush meets with his Working Group on Financial Markets Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2008, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. Afterward, the President said, "I know Americans are deeply concerned about the stress in our financial markets, and the impact it is having on their retirement accounts, and 401(k)s, and college savings, and other investments. I recognize that the action leaders are taking here in Washington and in European capitals can seem distant from those concerns. But these efforts are designed to directly benefit the American people by stabilizing our overall financial system and helping our economy recover." White House photo by Eric Draper
