Sometimes it's the things that don't happen

Just curious.....
With little explanation, President Bush on Tuesday scrapped a statement he planned to give on the tumultuous financial markets...

As announced by the White House, Bush was scheduled to make comments to a pool of reporters after huddling with a key financial working group....

Yet after the session began, the White House told the press never mind. Spokesman Tony Fratto said only: "We decided it would be best to limit public comment about markets today." He declined to offer any explanation about why limiting Bush comment would be best, or why on this particular day.

The meeting went on as planned.

After the session, White House press secretary Dana Perino offered only a one-sentence description of the session.
