George W. Bush: “I respect the fact that you love your country.”

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.

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