    Remarks Following a Meeting With Community Leaders in Riverside,
    Missouri
    August 22, 2007

        How is everybody doing? Thank you for joining me. I'm visiting with
    some of the area's finest citizens. We talked about businesses and
    opportunities and sports and culture. It's good to be with you. Thank
    you. I hope you leave here with the sense that I'm upbeat about the
    future of this country. I believe strongly we can do anything we put our
    minds to do.
        Thank you all for coming.

    Note: The President spoke at 9:06 a.m. at the Corner Cafe.
