George W. Bush: “The only thing I am running for is the Kingdom of Heaven.”

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.

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

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.

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.
