George W. Bush: “Freedom is a gift from the Almighty to every man and woman and child on this Earth.”

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

I hereby determine and report that it is important to the national interests of the United States to waive the prohibition of aforementioned section 671(a) with respect to Barbados, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Ecuador, Kenya, Mali…

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.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.
