George W. Bush: “There's still work to be done down here, that there's still hope.”

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

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.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.
