President George W. Bush turns 78 years old: A look back at his presidency, life
Fox News ^ | 07/06/2024 | Gabriele Regalbuto

George W. Bush, born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, was the 43rd President of the United States.

Bush was born to parents Barbara Bush and former President George H. W. Bush. He has five siblings; Jeb Bush, Marvin Bush, Neil Bush, Dorothy Bush Koch and Pauline Robinson Bush. Pauline was diagnosed with leukemia and passed away at age three.

He was formerly the Republican Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000.

Bush was first elected to the White House in November 2000, and officially began his first term as president in January 2001, after he defeated Democrat Al Gore during the presidential election. Bush was reelected to his second term as the incumbent in November 2004, when he prevailed over Democrat John Kerry, and led the United States until January 2009 before handing over his torch to former President Barack Obama.

First term was decent. Second term was a terrible. His father was better IMO.

Maybe the Democrats will try to draft HIM since he's younger than Trump or Biden (insert hysterically-laughing-emoji here)?

I always knew that Dubya had my two "kids" backs as they took part in DS II.

We parents naturally worry when our own wear the uniform and head off to a war zone. Dubya always did what he could for our troops, and it showed, and I took comfort in that.

W’s second term was so bad with his fixation on Iraq nation building, and a feckless McCain, Obama was elected.

A audio speech of Bush, just a couple years prior to the epic housing collapse where Boosh is demanding home loans for totally unqualified minorities.

I think they Dem/media hatred finally wore W down and to this day he still hopes to be liked by them. Pathetic.

I started out w/GWB being supportive, even positive. I guess in a Jimmy Carter sort of way, back when I leaned Democrat.

I would have to say he was one of the worst presidents. And the Iraq war was an absolute abomination from every possible viewpoint.

Shut out of a bathroom because of a locked building, I don’t know which Bush I’d rather piss on. At this late date, how could we have ANY illusions about the political Establishment in this country. 90% are members of Uniparty, and only a small handful of principled men remain.Figuring out the REAL and PRACTICAL differences between the “two main parties” ( and by extension the two Bushes you reference) is a joke and will, or at least should leave you sorry you’ll never get that time back again.

People on FR were so happy to get rid of the Clintons. Remember hanging chads? Sore Loserman? FR even hosted an inauguration ball in DC. My daughter served in Iraq during his first term. Only if it was as bad as that today.

GWB’s most notable quote and lie: Islam is a religion of peace.
He also looked in Putin’s eyes and saw a man of integrity.

He is mostly remembered as a man whom an Arab threw his shoes at and missed.

The Dim media did support Bush ... during the 2000 primaries. After he won the primary he became the media's enemy #1. Just like McCain and Romney.

Trump was never the Dim media's buddy, not even during the 2016 primaries. That's because Trump is not in league with the part of the GOP that tries really hard to be like the Dims.

Imagine if "the people who did this" actually did "hear from all of us."

No ISIS
No Syrian civil war
No 4 million Syrian refugees flooding Europe
No death of Saddam/Iranian takeover of Iraq

What could have been:
Dismantling of Saudi regime, replace w Western mandate
Free oil for a generation
Removal of nukes from Pakistan
did i miss anything?
