Excerpt
Excerpt: Since President Bush took office in January 2001, the Nation has faced an unprecedented combination of challenges. These challenges began with a stock market collapse that had started the previous spring, continued with a recession that took hold as the President entered office, and built with the revelation of corporate scandals later that year. The challenges grew exponentially with the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the loss of thousands of lives on American soil, followed by uncertainty about the potential for further terrorist attacks. The combination of these events posed perhaps the most serious test of America’s resolve since the attack on Pearl Harbor and the country’s entry into World War II. President Bush has acted decisively to meet these challenges. He has championed three overriding priorities-winning the War on Terror, protecting the homeland, and restoring strong economic growth-and his budgets have met those priorities.
