George W. Bush: “I believe people have a duty to vote.”

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

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

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

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