George W. Bush: “Liberty has got the capacity to change hate into hope.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.
