George W. Bush: “This is a national issue that requires national focus.”

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.

Congratulations on becoming our President.

what America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.
