George Bush actually said...

"We believe in federalism, and yet we are a people, one nation, indivisible."

"To have reform, excellence and achievement must be recognized and rewarded; to have reform, Federal dollars should be targeted to those most in need; to have reform, we need flexibility and choice."

"I think it is good to have a Chief of Staff who knows how the Governors function and the importance of the Governors in this whole Federalist system."

"America cannot continue to lead the world if we lag in providing opportunity at home."
