Will George Bush make another reference to Wall Street "getting drunk" by August 1st?
Settled as No
No references made available to mainstream media.
Background:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush has an explanation for the housing-market meltdown that has thrown the global economy into turmoil: Wall Street got drunk.
"There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk," Bush said at a private event in Houston on Friday. "It got drunk and now it's got a hangover. The question is, how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments?"

So, after the media poking at his comments and now having video posted on YouTube, will he ignore and move on from this comment or try to make light of it and make yet another reference to Wall Street getting drunk?
