George W. Bush: “The financial markets are strong and solid.”

I'm really happy to be back in this great state.

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

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.
