August 9, 2001 "This is Texas. I know a lot of you wish you were in the East Coast, lounging on the beaches, sucking in the salt air. But when you're from Texas, and love Texas, this is where you come home. This is my home. We built a house in the Crawford area. It'll be the house where I live in for the rest of my life. And I like my own home. And I don't mind the heat." - President Bush, discussing the heat wave from the month-long vacation he claims to need to "keep his mind whole". Maybe he should stretch it out to two months.
