George W. Bush: “You will be champions forever.”

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

This tax relief has been a key factor in promoting the economic growth and job creation of recent years, and it should be made permanent.

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.

Mr. Wyeth captured America in his paintings of his native Pennsylvania and Maine.
