George W. Bush: “This is a strong country.”

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

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.
