George W. Bush: “There's help, and that's what you've got to know.”

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

That is the America I know.

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.
