GWB was born in Connecticut where his father was in grad school. They lived in grad school housing while GWB was a baby. Someone in his grandfather's generation owned the property in Maine, which at the time was a very modest house,t hough on a beautiful piece of land. GHWB went to Texas after grad school .

GWB lived in a modest house, attended his neighborhood public school, played little league, etc. in Midland, Texas. The media does not want anyone to know that he had such a middle class childhood. If they had wanted us to know it, we would. Freepers are generally far more informed than others, so I can just imagine what they think.

During the 2000 campaign, the DBM showed aerial pictures of Midland, Texas as it was in 2000, with lots of back yard swimming pools and large houses. That is NOT the kind of neighborhood GWB grew up in. The DBM just left the implication that it was. False implications was the media story on GWB for all 8 years.

From Wikipedia:

Bush was born in Massachusetts to Senator Prescott Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush. Following the attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941, at the age of 18, Bush postponed going to college and became the youngest naval aviator in the US Navy at the time. He served until the end of the war, then attended Yale University. Graduating in 1948, he moved his young family to West Texas and entered the oil business, becoming a millionaire by the age of 40.
