A Charge To Keep

"I 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.The 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.

--George W. Bush, December 13, 2000, Texas House of Representatives

Written with his long term communications director, Karen Hughes, "A Charge to Keep" is a revealing look into the background, philosophy, family, and heart of our new president.
