George W. Bush: “Part of the problem we've had in our school system is, for too often and too long that bar wasn't set high enough.”

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

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.

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

Laura and I are fortunate to have known Andrew Wyeth and to have had the pleasure of enjoying his work.
