George W. Bush: “We're in a situation today because for more than a decade, our Nation has not had a comprehensive energy strategy.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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

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.

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.
