In the name of the United States and President Bush, I want to thank the Mexican people, President Fox and his government for their friendship.

I was invited by President Bush to come to the United States on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the mutual defense treaty.

I'm the president of the United States. I'm not the emperor of the United States.

It wasn't a completely free election because there was open interference from the United States, from President Bush, in the form of financial and political support to our opponents, as well as threats that the blockade would not be lifted and all the rest of it if UNO didn't win. The decisive moment was the invasion of Panama.

Under the leadership of President Bush and Vice President Cheney, the United States has given up the moral high ground that we used to occupy as an international leader.

I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead, Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world.
