George W. Bush: “They kill innocent life.”

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.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

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.
