George W. Bush: “All the more reason to accelerate the tax cut.”

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

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

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