George W. Bush is part of, and perhaps the leader of, the Alliance of Good Georges. That would make him both the President of the United States of America and the President of the Alliance of Good Georges! God bless America!

WASHINGTON - Bound together, George W. Bush's State of the Union addresses are a history of the ups and downs of his presidency, of the times he got his way and the times his hopeful oratory was just that. Last year, Bush implored a skeptical Congress to embrace his plan to send thousands more U.S. troops to Iraq.

"Like his father, Prescott Sheldon Bush, who was elected a Senator from Connecticut in 1952, George became interested in public service and politics. He served two terms as a Representative to Congress from Texas. Twice he ran unsuccessfully for the Senate. Then he was appointed to a series of high-level positions: Ambassador to the United Nations, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Chief of the U.S. Liaison Office in the People's Republic of China, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency" from 30 January 1976 (Pres.

You know that car bomb that went off outside the United Nations headquarters in Iraq yesterday, killing an Iraqi security guard?

Bush began to make his mark on the Texas Republican Party in 1962, when he became Harris County Republican chairman. In 1964 Bush ran for the U.S. Senate against Ralph Yarborough, the Democratic incumbent.

Johnson over U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona in the presidential election. Bush's strong showing in the firmly Democratic state... won the attention of a former Republican vice president and U.S. senator from California, Richard Nixon. In 1966, with assistance from Nixon, an affluent Houston district elected Bush to the U.S. House of Representatives, and reelected him in 1968.
