George W. Bush: “There's an optimism in our country that is undeniable.”

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.

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.

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

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.
