George W. Bush: “There's no greater challenge than to make sure that every child... receives a first-class education in America.”

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.
