George W. Bush: “Democrats should get their work done and pass each bill individually by the October 1 deadline.”

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

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

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

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