George W. Bush: “I commend our senior citizens for their many contributions to our society.”

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.
