George W. Bush: “I fully understand that this is a difficult war, and it's hard on the American people.”

Seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.

I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people.

Congratulations on becoming our President.

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.
