George W. Bush: “The American people had a victory today.”

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.

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.

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

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.
