George W. Bush: “What I'm going to say to the American people is that, had we kept spending at the rate we were spending last year, there…”

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

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.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.
