George Bush Influence

Bush was also one of the most effective Presidents because of the policies he made on immigration and entrance of illegal immigrants into the United States of America. “The President [G.W. Bush] believes America can be a simultaneously and lawful, economically dynamic and welcoming society.” George believes people should come to the United States and wants them too, but only through the correct and legal way. He needed to address the issue of illegal immigration and deliver a secure system that is productive, orderly, and fair. To help the issue on illegally entering the United States, President G. W. Bush, sent over 6,000 American National Guard members to the southern border to help guard and secure the United

W. Bush’s position of being a member of the House of Representatives (Biography…George W. Bush). Additionally, it wasn’t until after his father’s successful win for President in 1988 when George W. Bush gathered a group of partners together to purchase the Texas Rangers baseball team (Biography…George W. Bush). Only after briefly owning the Texas Rangers did George W. Bush decide to put his name into the Governor’s hat and run for Governor of Texas. However, some of his private affairs were leaked to the public, including his early years of alcoholism before his marriage to Laura Welch. This, from personal perspective, played a huge role in how he was looked at during his career of public service as Governor and President of the United States. In all honesty, the lack of public service experience was the most likely result of his dismal eight years as president, which included getting the United States of America involved in an unnecessary war and leaving America in a recession once leaving office.

The election of 1980 marked a ‘new political era’ that was ushered in by President Reagan and that followed on through the presidencies of George H. W. Bush and William Jefferson Clinton. These presidents were inaugurated at different times and succeeded the successes and the failures of their predecessors. Having came from different political backgrounds and having unique political and social beliefs, Bush, Reagan, and Clinton can only be analyzed through their foreign policies, domestic policies, achievements as well as shortcomings, and legacies.

President George Bush often spoke that one of the main goals of his presidency was, to have a ‘new world order”. He never actually spelled out how this would be done, but the result would be, a lasting world at peace and America taking the lead in all global affairs. One way was to reduce trade barriers, which he thought would promote our nation as the leader in commerce and culture. He wanted to reduce taxes and government regulations between our country, Canada and Mexico. Many people feared this would cost America jobs, with no restrictions more American companies would use cheap foreign labor. Bush was right in that with satellite communication (The Internet) and improved delivery methods the next few decades eliminated global bounties

Using the momentum of September 11th attack and the passing of the resolutions and the patriot act, Bush was able to bring Democrats and Republicans together. Bush was able to form alliances between the two parties and address other germane issues. Such as passing “Education reform and Tax cuts.”(Dubay, 2009) Such as the no child left behind, which was in theory a bi-partisan bill that was passed by both houses. And, tax cuts that include Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, as well as the controversial estate cuts, which lowered taxes for the upper class, who owned a significant amount of wealth. That being stated, this directly leads to my analysis. And address this issue.

The difference between Dallek and Jenkins’s views was that while Jenkins believed that Reagan was not starting a revolution and only gave form and direction to it, Dallek thought that Reagan started the revolution and the long term effects of the presidency were not good. Dallek said “some of Bush’s biggest failures are traceable to Reagan’s controversial approach to tax cuts, business regulation, national security, and social issues.” This, however, is hard to prove true because Bush’s presidency was driven by foreign policy and he raised taxes from where Reagan had lowered them to. The Berlin Wall fell early in Bush’s presidency as well as the Soviet Union and also Bush militarily occupied Panama during his tenure. Bush negotiated weapon limitation treaties with Russia and intervened in the Gulf war when Iraq refused to pull its forces out of Kuwait. Bush was more focused on foreign politics rather than domestic policy. Although the aftershock of the crisis of 1987 may have affected Bush’s chance to win the election of 1992, Bush did not seem to make a large attempt to revive the economy during his presidency. The crisis of 1987 happened in Reagan’s presidency so it could be said that the crisis caused Bush to fail but Bush did not act to bring the economy back

With the approach of the year 2000, the Contested Presidential Election Between George W. Bush and Al Gore took place, with George W. Bush taking over the presidency. In 2003, following the attacks of 9/11, war was declared on Iraq which began the conflict that lasted many years and arguably is still going on today (with our presence in the Middle East). As president, president Bush plowed through a $1.3 trillion tax cut program, passed the No Child Left Behind Act, and also pushed for socially conservative efforts, such as the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and faith-based welfare initiatives. Almost eight million people immigrated to the United States between the year 2000 and 2005; practically half of them entered illegally.

While George H. W. Bush was in office he did many great things and bad things. During his first presidency, he helped out in the Lebanese hostage crisis, the oil spill in Alaska, and was involved in ongoing wars against drug trafficking. Also during his first presidency, he signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Soviet president Mikhail S. Gorbchev. During his second presidency, he sent troops to Panama to overthrow the corrupt regime on General Manuel Noriega and to

After he graduated from college, he decided to follow his father's footsteps by getting involved with an oil business. He started off with Dresser Industries as a sales clerk in West Texas. However, when Bush was working for Dresser, he lived in numerous places with his family. In 1951, he felt motivated to create his own business called the Bush-Overbey Oil Development Company. As two years followed, the Zapata Petroleum Corporation was co-founded by him, and he eventually gained the leadership to become President for that company in offshore drilling. Bush became a millionaire quickly the moment he resumed his presidency of this corporation in 1964, and later on became the chairman in 1966. Little did he know, all of these successful movements led to an opening for him in the world of politics.

Barber didn’t have much to say about the presidents that came later in our country’s history, but after further analysis of President Clinton’s actions during his term, I came to the conclusion that he was a passive – positive president. He was charismatic, beloved and he often kept his word which made it easier for citizens to trust him. Even though he was loved, he was not much of a go getter when it came to his duties as a president. His main goal was to keep his citizens pleased. He didn’t want to do anything that would lower his popularity rate. President Clinton did make an impact on the U.S. Government through foreign policy despite his passiveness. He established relationships with the North American Free Trade Act and the Genera Agreement of Tariffs and Trade. These agreements helped make arrangements of free trade between America, Canada and Mexico (History.com). Bill also dealt with multiple economic issues that occurred throughout the world, one of the most confrontational issues was the currency interventions between Mexico and East Asia. No one seemed to

George Herbert Walker Bush was the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Beginning his political career in 1964, Bush ran for a U.S. Senate seat against Democratic Senator Ralph Yarborough. Bush ran a hard yet struggling to own campaign causing him to win the Republican nomination but lose in the general election. About two years later, he won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives where he served two full terms. When his two terms were up, Bush decided to take another chance and run for the U.S. Senate seat once more but was again defeated in the general election. While running as a moderate Republican, he finally was able to win election capturing greatly over fifty percent of votes. Becoming too big headed and too cocky, Bush later, when his two terms of owning a U.S. Senate seat were up, believed if he'd run again he would win but didn't. Bush didn't even go up against

The Bush family moved to Texas when George was only two years old. George Herbert Walker Bush, George’s father, had just graduated from Yale and wanted to attempt a living in the oil business. The family moved to a rough part of Texas called Odessa, and though times were not always easy , it eventually became a

George Walker Bush is the son of the 41st President George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush. Born on July 6, 1946, Bush was raised in Houston, Texas and was the oldest of four children. Bush finished his high school years at Phillips Academy, which was an all-male boarding school in Andover, Massachusetts, where he was the head cheerleader during his senior year. Bush went to college at Yale University from 1964 till his graduation in 1968 where he finished with a Bachelor’s degree in history. In the fall of 1973, Bush attended the Harvard Business School, where he earned an MBA. He is the only US President to have earned an MBA. He also is the first US President to get into office with a criminal record, as he had multiple

My first example is of Bush’s “War on Terror”. In 2001, the President stated that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and Saddam was going to use them against the U.S. and other nations even though he did not have concrete proof . He also said Iraq had ties to Al Quaida and this was a threat to our security and the security
