George W. Bush: “I look forward to leading the world in that direction for the next 4 years.”

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

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.
