George W. Bush: “The relationship between Japan and the United States is strong, and we will keep it that way.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

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

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.
