George W. Bush: “We must respond and act with courage to keep Medicare and Social Security benefits secure.”

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

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

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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.
