George W. Bush: “We thank God for this rare man, a servant of God and a hero of history.”

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

This tax relief has been a key factor in promoting the economic growth and job creation of recent years, and it should be made permanent.

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

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.
