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.
