George Bush actually said...

"Thank you for your courage, thank you for your sacrifice, and thank you for standing up when your nation needed you most."

"I regret saying some things I shouldn't have said."

"I was for John McCain. I felt he battled hard. But I meant what I said after the election, that the election of Barack Obama is -- is an historic moment for our country."

"the election of Barack Obama is an historic moment for our country, there are a lot of people in America who did not believe they would ever see this day."
