George W. Bush: “We're at war, and we better be ready on all fronts.”

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.

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

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

That is the America I know.
