George Bush actually said...

"The trials we have seen on the Gulf Coast remind us that we are stronger than we know and that we are all tied together in this Nation."

"As of today, more than 500,000 evacuee families have received emergency help to pay for food, clothing, and other essentials."

"The goal is to get the work done quickly."

"The continued strength of the Coast Guard is critical to the Nation's homeland security, defense, environmental preservation, and law enforcement efforts."
