Excerpt of President Bushs' 90-second speech in the 'Hall of Presidents' (written and recorded by the President himself):
"Again and again we return to the same simple principles," says President Bush. "Freedom, equality — the freedom to create, to prosper, to dream … equality before the law, in the workplace, in the chance for a better life — and each time, in the process, America grows stronger, the beacon of democracy grows brighter, the world looks in new astonishment at what free people can do."
Reaction from the audience: about half of the full auditorium applauded. No one booed or hissed.
