Bush says he'll block extended unemployment benefits
President Bush announced he will oppose extending unemployment benefits despite supporting a Democratic bill. He argued he will not declare a financial emergency or bust the budget even as Maine faces a 7.6 percent jobless rate and 5,300 local workers will exhaust benefits this week. Demonstrators planned to protest outside his Kennebunkport retreat as the economy shows mixed signals.
