George W. Bush: “Determination and will and steadfast leadership from the United States is what matters.”

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.

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

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

That is the America I know.
