George W. Bush: “We are honored to celebrate the miracle of Hanukkah in the White House this evening.”

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

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

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

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