George W. Bush: “I appreciate Prime Minister Jafari's brave leadership.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

Government does have a role to play in health care, but a robust private market is critical to ensuring that health care is affordable and accessible for all Americans.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.
