Ah, but he was raised in Midland, Texas - West Texas.

Nope. George H.W. Bush was born in Milton, MA and raised in Greenwich, CT, and studied at Yale. You can't get more Yankee than that.

He didn't move to Texas until he graduated college.

You'll have to convince the people of Midland, Texas, who are restoring his childhood home.

He was about 6 years old when in Midland, Texas. I’ve seen pictures of the house. Don’t have the dates but it was before his father was vice-president. When young his father did something in Midland. So, George was raised for some years when young in Texas. He calls Midland, Texas his real home. He worked in the oil industry - Harkin Oil I think, ran or was part owner of the Texas Rangers, lived in Dallas during that time, ran for governor, beat Ann Richards and served for two terms.

If you knew who he really was, you would realize that he never took to the Eastern elites although he attended Yale. He has always claimed Texas as home and will return there after leaving Washington. He is a Texan - not an Eastern elite. If he had been an Eastern elite - there would not have been all the “dumb” jokes you know. And maybe you are not aware of how mistreated he was by the Kennedy’s in Washington.

Surely you noticed how they looked down upon ol’ George. That means he was a Texan.

I have been talking about G W - not his father.
