George W. Bush: “Saddam Hussein must disarm.”

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.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.
