President-elect Barack Obama has not asked President George W. Bush to request the remaining $350 billion in the financial bailout, but would do so if asked, Bush said on Monday.

"I told him that if he felt that he needed the $350 billion I would be willing to ask for it," Bush said during a news conference. "He hasn't asked me to make the request yet and I don't intend to make the request unless he specifically asks me to make it."
