George W. Bush: “We needed a hopeful moment for this world of ours.”

I'm really happy to be back in this great state.

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.

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.
