George W. Bush: “I am using authority vested in me by Congress, including the Joint Authorization for Use of Military Force.”

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

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.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

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