George W. Bush: “Our government should work for us, not against us. It should help us, not hurt us.”

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

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

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

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.
