George W. Bush: “I thank the Senate for its bipartisan vote confirming Judge Michael Mukasey as the Nation's 81st Attorney General.”

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.

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.

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

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