Gen. Pace has shown himself to be a brilliant thinker and an inspiring leader,
good people of this part of the world that the federal government is going to help.
good start on a broad and important agenda.
I appreciate the hard campaign that John McCain waged. He ran a good race. He highlighted the need for reform, and I appreciate the ideas that he brought forth in the campaign,
I am proud of the results we have achieved in education in Texas. As president, I will achieve the same results, ensuring that no child is left behind.
I am not a Theodore Roosevelt man. In the end, he was very weak on private property, had a strong collectivist bent and saw government as an engine for good in a way that was fashionable.
