George W. Bush: “Life should never be used as a tool or a means to an end.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

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

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.
