George W. Bush: “He believed that people were basically good and had the right to be free.”

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

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.
