George Bush actually said...

"Parents need to know if their children are making progress, and this legislation meets that priority."

"Whatever their circumstances, mothers demonstrate daily how their devotion, strength, and wisdom make all the difference in the lives of their children."

"I commend members of the House Education and Workforce Committee for taking the first step toward reforming America's education system and making sure no child is left behind."

"I ask for the return of civility and dignity to the confirmation process."
