WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush suggested Friday that the current drawn-out U.S. economic recovery might have looked more robust if he'd allowed the 2001 recession to get worse.

Some would probably say, well, maybe you shouldn't have acted and let the recession go deeper, which would have made - may have made - for a more speedy recovery," Bush told reporters after meeting with his Cabinet.
