George W. Bush: “The Federal Government stands ready to help in any way we can.”

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

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

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.
