George Bush actually said...

"I asked the Congress to pass an emergency war spending bill that would provide our brave men and women in uniform with the funds and flexibility they need."

"We honor older Americans for demonstrating the spirit of our Nation through their positive attitude, strong work ethic, and personal character."

"I recognize that many Democrats saw this bill as an opportunity to make a political statement about their opposition to the war."

"This year's theme, 'Older Americans: Making Choices for a Healthier Future,' underscores the importance of making informed decisions regarding lifestyle and personal health."
