George Bush actually said...

"We are fortunate to have had a man of his caliber serve our country, and we will miss him."

"I'm absolutely convinced we'll be able to fund the tax cuts."

"I would love to meet with him beforehand, to look him in the eye and let him know how sincere I am about achieving a new way of keeping the peace."

"This is a time for vision, a time for a new way of thinking, a time for bold leadership."
