George W. Bush: “I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits.”

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.

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.

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Southern African Development Community will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.

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