2007 State of the Union address: on Principles & Values


George W. Bush: America wants Congress to cross the aisle to get things done

Some in this chamber are new to the House and Senate--and I congratulate the Democratic majority. Congress has changed, but not our responsibilities.

We are not the first to come here with government divided and uncertainty in the air. Like many before us, we can work through our differences, and achieve big things for the American people. Our citizens don’t much care which side of the aisle we sit on--as long as we are willing to cross that aisle when there is work to be done.
