Good Evening My fellow Americans

our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.

The victims were taxpayers; moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.

The functions of our government continue without interruption to continue to act in this way. Federal agencies in Washington are seeking cover up all the damage that has been done

Our financial institutions remain weak, and the American economy will not be open for business, our dollar will tank.

The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make every distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them and ensure their safety.

I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly defending these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to ask for their money back.

None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend bankers, greed and all that the elite stand for and just to them in our world.
