bush, to president and mrs. cartero be with you to mark this historic occasion. this is a texas sized party. that's worthy of what [ inaudible ] we're here to do today. when all the former living presidents are all together, it is a special day for our democracy. we've within called the world's most exclusive club, but the truth is our club is more like a support group. last time we all got together was just before i took office and i needed that because as each of these leaders will tell you, no matter how much you may think you're ready to assume the office of the presidency, it is impossible to truly understand the nature of the job until it is yours, until you're sitting at that desk. that's why every president gains a greater appreciation for all those who served before them, leaders from both parties who have taken on the challenges and felt the enormous weight of a nation on their shoulders. for me that appreciation extends to president bush. the first thing i found in that desk when i took office wz was a let f
