George W. Bush: “Small business is the lifeblood of the American 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.

For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence—a time set apart.

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

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.
