George Bush actually said...

"I am encouraged by the changes we've seen."

"Our Fourth of July wish for all Americans is a day of enjoyment, a day spent with family and friends, a day celebrated the traditional way, with picnics, parades, and fireworks."

"I want to ask you to take a moment sometime before the last of the fireworks light the sky to think about what this day means, to think about how fortunate we Americans are."

"It provides for the uninterrupted operation of the SPR, which is important to our Nation's energy security."
