George W. Bush: “Laura and I send our best wishes.”

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.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

Seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.
