The president has been silent about the market turmoil since Monday. He canceled previously announced plans to talk about it on Tuesday, and Perino said he would not be heard from on the topic on Wednesday, either.
Perino said the president is reluctant to hold a news conference because he believes reporters would try to draw him into the daily back-and-forth between the Democratic and Republican candidates to replace him and that that would be inappropriate.
"I grant you, you haven't heard from him in a while," she said.
Bush has not held a full news conference in two months. His last formal question-and-answer session was abbreviated and permitted only limited questioning more than a month ago in Seoul, South Korea.
And the last time he took any questions from reporters was on Sept. 7, in a brief interview with Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends."

Bush is Republican & wants McCain & his cronies to prevail in November & even idiot boy Bush must know that he's not an asset for the McCain campaign. Plus he's a shill for the ruling elite so he's just keeping his head down & hoping history will be kind. Good luck with that, George.
