George W. Bush: “The United States has long been a leader in the protection of navigational rights and freedoms.”

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

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

Congratulations on becoming our President.
