Quote of the Day:
President Bush: I urge my fellow Texans to listen carefully to what the authorities are saying in Galveston County or parts of Harris County, up and down the coast. We'll be monitoring the situation very carefully. The federal government will not only help with the pre-storm strategy, but once this storm passes we'll be working with state and local authorities to help people recover as quickly as possible. Thank you all for what you're doing; God bless your work. Good luck to you.

President George W. Bush speaks to the media alongside Freedom Corps greeters, Oklahoma Air National Guard Major Daniel Rooney (R) Karen Stark (2nd L) and Oklahoma County Sheriff's Dept Captain Joe Castelberry (L), at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, September 12, 2008.
President Bush: I'm privileged to be the President of a country that produces citizens such as these. The United States is a country of volunteers -- three such volunteers are with us, Oklahoma citizens who serve in a variety of ways. Karen has produced a tie -- a way to keep our -- help our children stay cool in Iraq. She is supportive of our troops. She and her organization have done fine work.
The Major here, a golf pro, who is going to go on his third tour in Iraq, has used his position in the golfing industry to raise money to help Gold Star families. How cool is that? This guy is going to Iraq on Monday, and yes, he served that way, but he also serves in a very compassionate way.
Captain Castleberry and some of his folks he works with out at the Sheriff's Department pulled up stakes and headed down to Morgan City, Louisiana in the wake of Gustav. Nobody made him do it; he just decided to do it on his own.

President Bush: I am deeply concerned about Hurricane Ike. It is a major storm headed toward a large population soon. I was on the phone this morning with Secretary Chertoff and Director Paulison of FEMA. I spoke to my friend, Governor Perry, yesterday. The state of Texas is preparing for this emergency. I suspect there's going to be some Texans headed for Oklahoma. And I know that they're going to find good people up here who want to help them. So I want to thank the citizens of Oklahoma for getting ready to help a Texan in need. I urge my fellow Texans to listen carefully to what the authorities are saying in Galveston County or parts of Harris County, up and down the coast. We'll be monitoring the situation very carefully. The federal government will not only help with the pre-storm strategy, but once this storm passes we'll be working with state and local authorities to help people recover as quickly as possible.

President George W. Bush participates in a roundtable on health savings accounts with women small business owners at the Presbyterian Health Foundation Conference Center in Oklahoma City, September 12, 2008.
President Bush: One of the real issues -- there's a couple of issues that face, obviously, a small business owner. One, are they -- do they have a product anybody wants to buy? But also taxes -- high taxes make it harder to stay in business. I strongly urge the Congress to make the tax relief we passed permanent so that taxes won't increase on small businesses.

First Lady Laura Bush speaks during the Service Nation Summit in New York September 12, 2008.

First Lady Laura Bush delivers remarks at the Service Nation Summit Friday, Sept. 12, 2008 in New York.
Mrs. Bush: Yesterday, Americans marked the seventh year since the September 11th attacks. This solemn anniversary brought back many memories for all of us, but one particularly stands out in my mind. It was the first Sunday after the attacks, and the reading in church was from Psalm 27: "I believe I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!" And I believe that's what we saw in the weeks and the months that followed this stunning tragedy -- from the thousands who lined up to donate blood, to the school children who raised $12 million for the boys and girls of Afghanistan. We see this same goodness here in the people who have gathered to serve others.
