George W. Bush: “I want these folks to have the best, and I know you do too.”

seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

Congratulations on becoming our President.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.
