A Charge to Keep: My Journey to the White House - George W. Bush

Descriere

n nI was not elected to serve one party, but to serve one nation. The president of the United States is the president of every single American, every race and every background. Whether you voted for me or not, I will do my best to serve your interests, and I will work to earn your respect.n nI will be guided by President Jefferson's sense of purpose: to stand for principle, to be reasonable in manner, and, above all, to do great good for the cause of freedom and harmony.n nThe presidency is more than an honor, it is more than an office. It is a charge to keep, and I will give it my all.n n--George W.
