George W. Bush: “The sky is clear—and we intend to keep it that way.”

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

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

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.

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