George Bush is from Texas and was the 43rd presidnet of the United States. HIs dad was also the presidnet at one point.

In 2000 he ran for the republican party against Al Gore. George Bush had a lot less votes then Al did but he won because of electroal college votes. Bush had 271 and Gore had 266. Bush and Al gore had heated debates against gun control and taxation.
On 2004 He ran against Democrat john Kerry. Bush won pretty easily he carried 31 out of 50 states and had 50.7 percent of the total vote. Bush;s main focus was the war in Afganistan and stopping Terriost.
While in office he had to stop terriost because when he was sworn in the 911 attack happened. He also had to to deal with the war in Afganistan, and later he turned his focus to Iraq. As his secoind term began to end his high approval rankings steadly dropped. Because of the largest depression post WW2.

At the end of his presidency he was really ridculed. He did not like the Kyoto Protocal.
I likied Bush as a president. He did a lot of good things that some people may have over looked. Coming into his presidency he had a lot to deal with like 911, but he stuck in there. I personally think he was one of the best presidents of all time.
