Today's Press Briefing with White House Press Secretary Tony Snow has concluded. Video from the Press Briefing will be available on the web site shortly.
President Bush on Tuesday said, "A line-item veto would be a vital tool that a President could use to target spending that lawmakers tack on to the large spending bills. ... The President could approve the spending that is necessary, could red-line spending that is not, and then let the Congress decide whether or not the President is right. It's a fair process; I believe it's a necessary process." 
President Bush on Tuesday said, "I'm proud of your strength, proud of your character. ... It's an amazing sight for me to be running with a guy who, last time I saw him, was in bed wondering whether or not -- I was wondering whether or not he'd ever get out of bed. There was no doubt in his mind that he would." 
President Bush on Tuesday said, "It has been my honor to welcome four amazing
individuals to the Oval Office. These four folks are from the
continent of Africa. They're here to receive the National Endowment
for Democracy's award, which is an award to honor courage and
fortitude and strength in promoting freedom."
