Bush says confident Cheney will be fine

ADA, Michigan (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Wednesday he was confident that Vice President Dick Cheney would be fine despite a recurrence of an abnormal heartbeat.

"The vice president's going to be fine, I talked to him this morning," Bush told reporters after a meeting with business leaders.

He said he had seen Cheney earlier on Wednesday in Washington and that the vice president told him that he would be undergoing the same procedure he had a while ago.

"He was confident, the doctors are confident, therefore I'm confident," Bush said. Cheney had a similar heart problem almost a year ago and was treated with an electric shock.
