George W. Bush

The other person that was running was John McCain. Barack Obama is a democrat, and John McCain was a republican. Barack Obama had 365 electoral votes and John McCain had 173 electoral votes. Obama decreased the gas price as of what it was when George W. Bush was the president. After the first 4 years that Obama was president, he decided to run again. This time he was running against Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney wanted everyone to have an equal education, because he believed that education was…

George W. Bush is a born-again President. On the evening of September 20, when he addressed Congress and the rest of the nation, he became a new President with a new purpose and a new relationship with the American people. Remember "the vision thing"? That was the criticism of his father, whose presidency seemed to have no overarching sense of direction. The elder Bush was "the in-box President," dealing with problems as they reached his desk without communicating a clear sense of the big…

tragically took the lives of tens of thousands of people and ultimately, changed America forever. The aftermath of these catastrophic attacks is complex and has stimulated a lot of debate and controversy over the past 15 years. Our leader at the time, George W. Bush, made a risky decision when he decided to go to war with Iraq. Since then, I firmly believe this decision is regrettable and has ineffectively communicated our nation’s initiatives in nonverbal context. I believe that President…

of water to induce confessions as a “normal incident of law” (Weiner, 2007). President George W. Bush first approved the use of waterboarding against alleged September 11th terrorist attacks plotter Khalid Sheik Mohammed in 2003. President Bush has stated many times that he personally approved the use of this technique in an effort to prevent further loss of life from possible future terrorist attacks (Bush, 2010). Since its first documented use, waterboarding has proven to be an effective,…

impacted by a series of deadly terrorist attacks. That night, George W. Bush, the current president, addressed the people of America with a powerful speech, both unifying and empowering Americans, and warning terrorists. While he wasn’t a particularly popular politician prior to delivering his 9/11 speech, Bush gained a monumental number of followers afterwards. This speech, and the events leading up to it, was the perfect moment for Bush to step in and be there for Americans, comforting them…

During similar periods of anguish for America, the two speeches “Speech in the Virginia Convention” by Patrick Henry, and “President Bush Outlines Iraqi Threat” by former President George W. Bush were expressed. Henry’s speech was given to persuade the colonists to go to war against Great Britain, which would come to be called the Revolutionary War. Bush’s speech was given after the tragedy of 9/11 to discuss how going to war with Iraq was needed to keep America safe and secure. The men used…

crusading rhetoric, and despite the Iraq War, that was started in 2003 to ‘promote democracy and end tyranny’, being somewhat of a failure, Bush continued to place unflinching emphasis on the worldwide fight between freedom and tyranny – a fight for which the U.S. would and did act unilaterally by declaring war in Iraq. (Shinkman, 2015). There is little doubt that the Bush administration pursued a strand of liberal internationalism in trying to promote liberal ideals throughout the…

a mosque in Cairo, Egypt. He also says that we will not forget the moments of silence and the days of mourning in Australia, Africa, and Latin America. He then says that the citizens of over 80 countries died as well as the many Americans. George W. Bush did something that we needed desperately; he soothed a devastated nation by giving us examples of the world praying and caring for…

“George Bush’s Address on the Start of War” was a speech set out to justify war. Bush tried to persuade Americans that retaliating to the September eleventh terrorist attack would help rather than hurt them. The terrorist attack, most commonly referred to as “9/11” was the primary influence for this address. Assuring the safety and well being of his fellow Americans, Bush pushes toward war to resolve the current issues at the time. George Bush’s pressing need to speak before the Americans is…

George Herbert Walker Bush, better known as George H. W. Bush, was elected as the Republican nominee in the 1988 election, taking down Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis. Although Bush was only in office for one term, his influence on America lasts today. Not only did George H. W. Bush pass influential bills and laws, but he also helped to turn the United States from the isolationism that the country had fell into and promoted earlier in its history. With George H. W. Bush in the White House,…
