George W. Bush: “I'm proud to be the Commander in Chief of such decent people, such honorable people, and such noble people.”

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

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 will have an Almighty God to comfort you.
