First Lady Laura Bush Delivers Remarks, Introduces President Bush at GOP Convention

I am proud that impressive women have served in my husband's administration, women like Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao...

... and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

President Bush will address the convention in just a minute from the White House. Before I introduce him, though, I want to talk to you a little bit about the man I love.

The first time I spoke at our convention, George was governor of Texas and I was in front of the largest crowd I'd ever addressed. That night, I told you about a man of character, whose principles would not shift with the winds of politics or polls.

A lot has changed in the last eight years, but one thing has stayed constant. George remains a man of strong values, with enduring love for the United States of America.
