George H. W. Bush was inaugurated as the 41st President of the United States, and ended on January 20, 1993. Bush, a Republican, took office after a landslide victory over Democrat Michael Dukakis in the 1988 presidential election.
1 Term
3rd consecutive term for the GOP tho which is the comparison being made
Something else interesting about H.W.
No other president in the History of POTUS ever had a 92% approval rating like he did. The highest of any president.
Granted this 92% was immediately after Bush I won the Gulf War. And it was brief and didn’t last - but still.
Lots of people blame the “Read my Lips...” comment. They are wrong. The blame goes to Ross Perot.
