$350.00
George Walker Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut. The son of future President George H.W. Bush, he grew up in Texas and attended Yale University, graduating in 1968. He later earned an MBA from Harvard Business School, becoming the first U.S. president with an MBA.
Bush served as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard before pursuing a career in business. He worked in the oil industry and later co-owned the Texas Rangers baseball team. His political career began when he was elected governor of Texas in 1994, serving two terms and focusing on education reform and tax cuts.
In the 2000 presidential election, Bush won a tightly contested race against Al Gore. As the 43rd president, his early administration focused on tax cuts, education reform, and faith-based initiatives. However, the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, defined his presidency. He launched the War on Terror, leading to military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. The invasion of Iraq in 2003, aimed at removing Saddam Hussein, became a major foreign policy controversy.
Domestically, Bush faced challenges including Hurricane Katrina and the 2008 financial crisis. He left office in 2009, returning to Texas, where he focused on humanitarian efforts and painting. His presidency remains influential in modern American politics, particularly in foreign policy and national security.
