George W. Bush: “This is a jobs bill.”

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your President.

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.
