Vice President Cheney

Thanks for being out here in the cold. You know, I was realizing no night is too cold to celebrate freedom.


Tomorrow, I will take an oath and deliver an inaugural address. You'll be pleased to hear I'm not going to deliver it twice. But I will speak about freedom. This is the cause that unites our country and gives hope to the world and will lead us to a future of peace. We have a calling from beyond the stars to stand for freedom, and America will always be faithful to that cause.

- President George W. Bush
