George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United
States. He was sworn into office on January 20, 2001, re-elected on November
2, 2004, and sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2005. Prior to
his Presidency, President Bush served for 6 years as the 46th Governor
of the State of Texas, where he earned a reputation for bipartisanship
and as a compassionate conservative who shaped public policy based on
the principles of limited government, personal responsibility, strong
families, and local control.
President Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven,
Connecticut, and grew up in Midland and Houston, Texas. He received a
bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University in 1968, and then served
as an F-102 fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. President Bush
received a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School
in 1975. Following graduation, he moved back to Midland and began a career
in the energy business. After working on his father’s successful 1988
Presidential campaign, President Bush assembled the group of partners
who purchased the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in 1989. On November
8, 1994, President Bush was elected Governor of Texas. He became the first
Governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive 4-year terms when
he was re-elected on November 3, 1998.
Since becoming President of the United States in
2001, President Bush has worked with the Congress to create an ownership
society and build a future of security, prosperity, and opportunity for
all Americans. He signed into law tax relief that helps workers keep more
of their hard-earned money, as well as the most comprehensive education
reforms in a generation, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This legislation
is ushering in a new era of accountability, flexibility, local control,
and more choices for parents, affirming our Nation’s fundamental belief
in the promise of every child. President Bush has also worked to improve
healthcare and modernize Medicare, providing the first-ever prescription
drug benefit for seniors; increase homeownership, especially among minorities;
conserve our environment; and increase military strength, pay, and benefits.
Because President Bush believes the strength of America lies in the hearts
and souls of our citizens, he has supported programs that encourage individuals
to help their neighbors in need.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorists
attacked our Nation. Since then, President Bush has taken unprecedented
steps to protect our homeland and create a world free from terror. He
is grateful for the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women in
uniform and their families. The President is confident that by helping
build free and prosperous societies, our Nation and our friends and allies
will succeed in making America more secure and the world more peaceful.
President Bush is married to Laura Welch Bush, a
former teacher and librarian, and they have twin daughters, Barbara and
Jenna. The Bush family also includes two dogs, Barney and Miss Beazley,
and a cat, Willie.
