George W. Bush: “We look forward to working with them on a variety of matters.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence—a time set apart.

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people.
