George W. Bush: “Accountability is so important.”

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.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

That is the America I know.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.
