By CNN Correspondent Elaine Quijano WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush’s final GOP convention speech as head of the Republican party will express “gratitude” to his supporters rather than attack Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Friday. The president is due to deliver his speech Monday at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. Perino said it will review “the major issues facing the country, from terrorism and war to the economy and the direction of our culture.” Perino added that in making the case for GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain’s qualifications, the speech will reflect “on the role of the presidency and the qualities that are demanded by the job” of commander-in-chief. |
