President George H. W. Bush lost his bid for reelection in 1992. And it hurt. Until now, however, we didn't know how much. But with the special Fox News Reporting - Destiny and Power – The Private Diaries of George Herbert Walker Bush, we take a deep look at the man, actually hearing his own thoughts and feelings through the audio diary he kept while in the White House.
It will be the first time this material has been released to the public. You can see this new special Friday, Nov. 6 at 10 p.m. ET on The Fox News Channel.
Honor, duty and hard work were a constant theme in his life. As a World War II pilot, he was shot down in the Pacific, and had to be rescued. After the war, instead of taking a sinecure on Wall Street, he went out West, establishing himself in the oil business. But he wanted to serve, and left it all behind to go into politics.
Political life was often a series of frustrations, as he failed twice to become a senator from Texas, and then lost a presidential race to Ronald Reagan in 1980. Still, over the years, he built up one of the most impressive resumes a candidate ever had--he served as a congressman, UN ambassador, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, envoy to China, CIA director and vice president under Reagan.

George H.W. Bush Settles Old Scores With Cheney and Rumsfeld
Screw you 41! Your “Read my lips” claim goes down as THE WORST BALDFACE LIE of ANY Republican President. You deserved what you got when you betrayed the base.
No it doesn't.
I wonder if he wrote about that time he helped throw Taiwan out of the UN to make room for Communist China.
Barry Goldwater flipped when he got old, and it appears that maybe jumping out of planes in his late 80’s has affected the old man’s mental facilities. The Bush’s are strange folks. Young George let the RATS kick dirt all over him, and stands by while Obama blames him for everything that’s wrong in the world and to top it off he regards Bill Clinton as a brother from another mother. The old man was a pure douche and now he picks a fight with Cheney and Rumsfeld, but never says anything about Bam and the RATS who have aggrieved his family.
That was in 1971, way too long ago for the American people to remember.
Geroge Herbert Walker Bush is just another name on a long, long of Republican failures.
Screw FOX and Screw the Bushes
Actually, didn’t GWHB cast a vote against the expulsion of Taiwan, for all the good it did?
You may be right. Kissinger was busy undermining Taiwan at the time.
$20 says it doesn’t mention how he and the CIA Imported Cocaine into the US to fund the Contras!
