George W. Bush: “I intend to nominate Susan G. Braden to be a Judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims.”

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

That is the America I know.

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