George W. Bush

Government contracting must be more open and more fair to small businesses.

I hereby order that: Section 1. Order of Succession.

I strongly support association health plans.

By the authority vested in me as President under the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America.

I'm looking forward to seeing my friend the President of Mexico.

We expect there to be rightful obligations on those who receive them.

I believe that out of this evil will come some incredible good.

We will not allow one of the world's most dangerous leaders to have the world's most dangerous weapons and hold the United States and our friends and allies hostage.

I couldn't imagine anybody saying, in the midst of a recession, 'We're going to raise taxes.'

History has placed a great responsibility at our doorstep, and I will not miss this opportunity.

To me, the spirit on that airplane defined the possibilities of our country, and man, what a great country it is.

I want to thank our troops, our brave troops, for fighting in incredibly tough terrain and against difficult circumstances.

I intend to nominate three individuals and appoint one individual to serve in my administration.

A Government that is one of the most repressive Governments history has ever seen.

And I want you to know that later on this week schools reopen in Afghanistan, and this is hard for Americans to believe, but for the first time, young girls get to go to school, thanks to America.

We went into Afghanistan not to seek revenge but justice, and we went into that country not as conquerors but as liberators.

I made it absolutely clear when we first got going that if a country harbored a terrorist or fed a terrorist or hid a terrorist, they were just as guilty as the murderers who hit us on September the 11th.

One of my big concerns has been and still continues to be the fact that some of our American workers lost jobs as a result of the enemy attack.

The great strength of America is not in our military... It is in the hearts and souls of the American people.

More new jobs are created by small-business people than anybody else.

The role of Government is to create an environment in which people are willing to take risk.

And the tougher President Musharraf is and the more steadfast the United States is, the stronger we stand against terrorist activity, the more lives we'll ultimately save.

I want to assure you all that we won't blink.

I want to talk about the entrepreneurial spirit.

I still know there are people out there that hate our freedoms.
