George W. Bush: “I'm looking forward to getting back to Washington to work on policies to keep this country safe and to keep this country…”

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

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

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

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