George W. Bush: “What people don't want is an unemployment check; what they want is a permanent paycheck.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

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