George W. Bush: “Today the Senate has passed significant legislation that will benefit America's workers and small businesses.”

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.

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.

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.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.
