George W. Bush: “He will then work the room for a considerable period of time, meeting and greeting with as many troops as possible.”

We look forward to working with him and the National Archives to build a world-class Presidential library and museum that will be an important resource for scholars and the general public.

That is the America I know.

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.
