President Bush delivers remarks to the Veterans of Foreign Wars on the global war on terror at their convention in Orlando, Fla. View a video that precedes President Bush's remarks. Summer Olympics 2008
The President and Mrs. Bush attended the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, People's Republic of China from August 8 - August 11, 2008. Global War on Terror
President Bush's top priority is the safety and security of the American people. Though America and its allies are safer since 9/11, we are not yet safe. We have important challenges ahead as we wage a long-term battle not just against terrorists, but against the ideology that supports their agenda. Energy Security for the 21st Century
America's prosperity depends on reliable, affordable and secure sources of energy. President Bush believes the power of technology and the innovative spirit of America will reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy, which will help ensure a growing and prosperous America in the 21st Century. Tax Relief
President Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax relief fueled economic growth and reduced the marginal rate for every income tax bracket. By the end of last year, Americans would have paid an additional $1.3 trillion in taxes had it not been for the President's tax relief. If the President's tax relief is allowed to expire at the end of 2010, Americans will pay about $280 billion more in taxes each year. With the largest tax increase in history looming, Congress should make the President's tax relief permanent. Weekly Review E-mail Updates

President Bush Discusses Gulf Coast Recovery- President Bush on Wednesday said, "I think the message here today is: Hope is being restored. Hope is coming back. I'm going to spend some time here in New Orleans, and then I'm heading over to Gulfport, Mississippi -- same message. And I'm, frankly, not surprised. I'm not surprised that hope is marching in, because I understand the nature of the people who live here in this community, and these communities. I have seen people when their spirits were at a low ebb, but never did they give up. And now I've seen incredible progress is being made."
