George W. Bush: “I think it's very important we do this as quickly as we possibly can.”

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

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

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.
