VideoNegotiations on the financial rescue plan were to resume Friday on Capitol Hill.
"There are disagreements over aspects of a rescue plan but there is no disagreement that something substantial must be done," Bush said in brief comments to reporters at the White House.
"The legislative process is sometimes not very pretty, but we are going to get a package passed," he said. "We will rise to the occasion. Republicans and Democrats will come together and pass a substantial rescue plan."
Negotiations on the financial rescue plan were to resume Friday on Capitol Hill where the administration's proposal has met resistance from skeptical lawmakers.
In another sign that the White House was pressing hard for a deal, Vice President Dick Cheney canceled trips to New Mexico and Wyoming to "assist with the pending legislation," his spokeswoman said.
Cheney as vice president can cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate on legislation.
