  3. Biographical Information • 43d president of the United States. • Bush, the son of former president George Bush, was born in New Haven, Conn., on July 6, 1946, and grew up in Midland, Tex. • He attended the exclusive Phillips Academy--Andover (Mass.), and received degrees from Yale (B.A., 1968) and Harvard (M.B.A., 1975) universities. • During the Vietnam War era Bush served (1968-1973) as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. • He married Laura Welsh, a librarian, in 1977.

  4. In 1987-1988 Bush took a leave from private business to work on his father's presidential campaign as both an adviser and a speechwriter. • After the elder Bush won the presidency, George W. Bush turned his attention to major league baseball. He put together a group of investors to purchase the Texas Rangers team and ultimately became managing general partner of the team from 1989 to 1994.

  5. Governor of Texas • During his first term as governor, Bush enjoyed growing popularity in Texas. The state enjoyed substantial prosperity, and the governor seemed to have a knack for pleasing almost all constituencies. • He held firm on antidrug and anticrime measures and on the death penalty, all of which pleased conservatives. • He also gratified those same voters with large tax cuts and a far-reaching welfare reform program that required benefit recipients to work. • Bush promoted substantial new spending on public education and bilingual programs, to the approval of many Democrats and Hispanic residents and immigrants. • He substantially increased state funding for public schools while at the same time promoting the conservative goals of educational choice through programs such as charter schools and teacher accountability.

  6. Leading Through a Crisis • After the September 11th attacks, it became evident that George W Bush is a great leader. • He was calm and cool and he led a distraught nation through a time of turmoil.

  7. Great Leaders Have Great Pets… • Laura Bush, First Lady, holds the family pets: Spotty, Barney, and India. • Not to be left out is Ophelia, who is way to big for Laura Bush to hold!

  8. Great Leader, Regular Guy • Not only is George W. Bush a great leader; he is a normal man, with a wife, kids, and pets. • He has done great things in the world of politics, yet he loves baseball.
