George Bush actually said...

"The United States looks forward to working with Mrs. Chamorro's new government in support of her stated goals of national reconciliation and economic reconstruction."

"There is space in a democratic Nicaragua for the expression of all political points of view."

"I am most pleased that there has been a free and fair election in Nicaragua and that the results are being accepted by both sides."

"I am sending messages to Mrs. Chamorro congratulating her on her victory and to President Ortega congratulating him on the conduct of the election and his stated willingness to abide by the results."
