George W. Bush: “We're a compassionate nation.”

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.

This tax relief has been a key factor in promoting the economic growth and job creation of recent years, and it should be made permanent.

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

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.
