George W. Bush: “These players did something that they weren't supposed to do.”

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

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.

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

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