George W. Bush: “The loss is terrible. It is borne especially by the families left behind.”

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

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