In his speech, Bush alluded to the difficult choices he faced as president, (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH SAYING: "One of the benefits of freedom is that people can disagree. It's fair to say I created plenty of opportunities to exercise that right." -EDIT- "I will always believe our nation's best days lie ahead. God bless (tears)."
