"President George W. Bush offers a toast Friday, Nov. 14, 2008, at dinner with Summit on Financial Markets and World Economy participants in the State Dining Room of the White House. ""In the State Dining Room tonight are representatives of major industrialized economies, some of the largest developing economies, and key international financial institutions. We are here because we share a concern about the impact of the global financial crisis on the people of our nations. We share a determination to fix the problems that led to this turmoil. We share a conviction that by working together, we can restore the global economy to the path of long-term prosperity."" White House photo by Eric Draper"
