George W. Bush: “I believe that everybody yearns to be free.”

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

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