George W. Bush: “To oppose everything while proposing nothing is irresponsible.”

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

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

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your President.
