George W. Bush: “Our economy grew faster than any other major industrialized nation in the world.”

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.
