built 199 days ago
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!

George W. Bush became president of the United States on 20 January 2001. Bush is the son of former U.S. president George Bush, who served from 1989-93. (The terms of father and son were separated by the two terms of Bill Clinton.) George W. Bush graduated from Yale in 1968. After serving as a pilot in the Texas National Guard, he attended Harvard Business School and then worked in the oil and gas industries until 1986, when he got involved in his father's successful 1988 presidential campaign. He returned to Texas and was elected governor there in 1994 and again in 1998. Bush won the Republican nomination for president in August of 2000, choosing Dick Cheney as his running mate.

WASHINGTON, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush will welcome 50 children -- one from each state -- and their families to The White House on Wednesday, April 4 to honor them as champions. Not champions of a sports team. But champions just the same. Each child has fought and won a personal battle with a disease, injury, or birth defect through treatment at one of the 170 non-profit children's hospitals affiliated with Children's Miracle Network. The Foresters Champions Across America program recognizes the children as representatives of the 14 million children treated in these hospitals each year.

George W. Bush isn't just the king of a restored American monarchy, he's ... the king of lamebrain ideas. Here's one idea that proves the legitimacy of Bush's claim to the lamebrain throne: He says America ought to train Iraqis to take over security for American soldiers, but then when those Iraqis are trained to provide security, he won't provide them any guns because he doesn't trust them. You know that car bomb that went off outside the United Nations headquarters in Iraq yesterday, killing an Iraqi security guard? Well, the Bush Dictatorship in Iraq refused to allow that security guard to have a gun. What can Iraqi security forces do to establish order in their country, if they're not entrusted with the ability to defend themselves?

George W. Bush was elected 43rd President of the United States of America by a margin of 1% of the Electoral College vote on November 7th, 2000 CE, serving the 2000-2004 term. However, a vote recount ensued when results of voting in several Florida counties were disputed, and Bush did not officially become President-Elect until December 13, after a lengthy legal battle. He won by a margin of less than 150 votes, in one of the closest American elections in history. It should be noted that while he won the Electoral College vote, he lost the popular vote.

When he took office, George Walker Bush, son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush, became the first son to follow his father into the White House since John Quincy Adams followed John Adams in the early 19th century. Bush, a Republican, was ... the first presidential candidate since Benjamin Harrison in 1888 to win the electoral vote, and thus the presidency, while losing the nationwide popular vote. Bush lost the popular vote to Democratic candidate Al Gore by more than 500,000 votes out of more than 105 million cast nationwide. However, he secured a 271 to 266 victory in the electoral college when, after five weeks of legal wrangling, Gore failed to overturn election results that gave the state of Florida, with 25 electoral votes, to Bush.
