George W. Bush: “The choice is theirs to make.”

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

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

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.

The actions taken by my Administration in response to the financial crisis have laid the groundwork for a return to economic growth and job creation.
