George W. Bush: “A healthy society is one in which people are responsible for their behaviors.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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

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.

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