George H W Bush:
His full name was George Herbert Walker Bush. He was our 41nd President! (1989-1998) His birthday is June 12th, 1924. Fun fact: Day before mine, but many years before me. He is originally from Milton Massachusetts. He grew up in New England in a wealthy family. His father was the senator. He was educated at Phillips Academy Andover before joining the U.S. Navy and becoming a pilot. Pretty impressive if you ask me.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Bush decided to join the navy instead of going to college and became the youngest aviator at the time. He fought in plane battles. In one, his plane was hit, but he still dropped his bombs and hit most of the targets he was supposed to. Because his plane was hit, it caught on fire, so he had to bail out of his plane.
He then went to Yale University for college. Received a degree in economics.
He moved his family to Texas after graduating Yale to work in the Oil Bussniess.
He had married a beauty, Barbara Pierce, on January 6, 1945. He was a Republican.
His religion was Episcopalian. This from my understanding was kind of like Christian. Mainly here in the United States. He had six kids with his wife. George W. (1946–), Robin (1949–1953), John Ellis "Jeb" (1953–), Neil (1955–), Marvin (1956–), Dorothy “Doro” (1959–)
Bush served as a Congressman as well as the Ambassador to the United Nations. He also worked as a director of the CIA. Bush was the vice president to Ronald Reagan.
In 1988 he had landed a successful campaign. He was up against Regan. After a struggle with congress he signed an increase in taxes.
The Berlin wall had also fell and 2 years later the Soviet Union had gone down hill. All in Due to the economic concerns he had lost the 1992 election to Bill Clinton.
I don't think he was a horrible president. He defiantly wasn't the best, and could have done things differently but I guess that's how I look at many presidents.
