The University of New England welcomed two former White House chiefs of staff to the Biddeford Campus on Wednesday for the 13th annual George and Barbara Bush Distinguished Lecture Series, offering behind-the-scenes accounts of a presidential administration during a transformational time in history.
Featured speaker John Sununu, former chief of Staff to President George H.W. Bush, and moderator Andrew Card, once Sununu’s deputy, painted a picture of a president who cared deeply about his domestic agenda, even though he was known for his foreign policy.
“George Bush’s reputation as a foreign policy president was earned,” Sununu said. “But (he) was also a fantastic domestic policy president.”

Agenda 21!

3. Justice
4. Clarence
5. Thomas
The “indescribable stupidity” of George H.W. Bush and his son “Dubya”.
He wasn’t that great as president. Squandered the Reagan years, drove us into bizarro conflicts and then barfed all over a Japanese dinner.
I mean - still better than Obama but that isn’t saying much.
Agenda 21!
Agenda Murder JFK.
Actually he raised them in 1990 on the verge of the mid terms. Saved the Democrats.
“On November 5, 1990, Bush signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990. Among other provisions, this raised multiple taxes. The law increased the maximum individual income tax rate from 28 percent to 31 percent, and raised the individual alternative minimum tax rate from 21 percent to 24 percent.”
My bad!
CIA head should never been elected.
Was the event a sell out ?
—> CIA head should never been elected.
… and no graduate from Yale, but I’m repeating what you wrote.
Bush demonstrated that Democrats are cutthroats whom you cannot treat as gentlemen. There is no fair play in their playbook.
is no patriotism or honor among democrats. The American people are just there to be used to further democrat ambitions.
Indeed.
Bush loving neoCON scum approve of this message.
He wasn’t formally a DEMONocRAT but was a RINO like Dubya. As Trump says sometimes RINO’s are worse that the DEMONocRATS - at least with the Left you know or should know what you’re getting.
The Kinder, Gentler Machine Gun Hand.
Bush defended the “jack-booted-thugs” and resigned his membership in the NRA.
What more needs to be known about the fascist Bush?
What you have to remember about G.H.W.B. is that he was a follower or a “yes man” his whole career. Promoted because he was an organization man, never a leader. Got to Yale through connections no doubt. Had a war record of honor, but was not distinguished. Head of the Republican Party in quiet times. CIA head by appointment not merit. Reagan’s V.P. despite Reagan’s better judgment because (much like Trump) the swamp insisted he would be great.
Then, when he achived the Presidency, he was in over his head.
