George W. Bush: “Governor Ridge has earned my trust and the trust of the American people.”

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

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

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

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.
