Address by the President to the Nation on the Way Forward in Iraq - September 13, 2007
On Thursday, President Bush said, "In Iraq, an ally of the United States is fighting for its survival. Terrorists and extremists who are at war with us around the world are seeking to topple Iraq's government, dominate the region, and attack us here at home. If Iraq's young democracy can turn back these enemies, it will mean a more hopeful Middle East and a more secure America. This ally has placed its trust in the United States. And tonight, our moral and strategic imperatives are one: We must help Iraq defeat those who threaten its future and also threaten ours."Read more : White House Presidential Speeches & Remarks: 13.09.2007 12:00:00
President Bush Ceremonially Swears in Director of Office of Management and Budget Jim Nussle - September 10, 2007
On Monday, President Bush said, "It's our responsibility to ensure that we run our government wisely and to spend the people's money wisely. Jim Nussle understands that. He also understands that cutting taxes has helped our economy grow. We've overcome some tough times in America. When you lower taxes in the face of a recession or uncertainty, it enables people to have more money to spend, save or invest. And the tax cuts that we passed have worked. The economy... grew at over 3 percent the last quarter. Our national unemployment rate is 4.6 percent. Inflation is low. The best way to make sure our growth continues is not to raise the taxes on the people."Read more : White House Presidential Speeches & Remarks: 10.09.2007 12:00:00

President Bush Visits Nashville, Discusses Budget - July 19, 2007
President Bush on Thursday said, "There's a philosophical debate in Washington, and really it's kind of to calibrate how much money we need and how much money you need. Some say we need more of your money to expand the size and scope of government, or, they would argue, more of your money to balance the budget. Then there are those like me in Washington who say, there's ample money in Washington to meet priorities, and the more money you have in your pocket, the better off the economy is. In other words, let me put it bluntly, I think you can spend your money better than the federal government can spend your money."Read more : White House Presidential Speeches & Remarks: 20.07.2007 00:00:00
