George W. Bush: “I'm looking forward to dinner tonight.”

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.

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.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.
