George W. Bush: “I pledged our Government would continue to work with the Russian Government and the Russian people.”

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

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.

Laura and I are fortunate to have known Andrew Wyeth and to have had the pleasure of enjoying his work.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.
