George W. Bush: “I'm not a voter in this State, Mitch, but if I were, I'd be voting for you.”

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

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.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

I'm really happy to be back in this great state.
