George W. Bush: “This is a good deal for our economy.”

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

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

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.
