Bush,               the               43rd               president               of               the               U.S.,               who               is               known               as               "Bush               43"),               was               born               on               June               12,               1924               in               Milton,               Massachusetts,               a               suburb               south               of               Boston.

His               father,               Prescott               Bush,               was               the               president               of               sales               for               the               Stedman               Products               Co.

Prescott               Bush               (Yale               1917)               made               his               fortune               and               name               as               an               investment               banker               on               Wall               St.,               eventually               becoming               a               partner               of               the               white               shoe               brokerage               Brown               Bros.

Harriman.

He               was               a               member               of               the               Yale               Corp.,               the               principal               governing               body               of               Yale               University,               from               1944               to               1956               and               was               on               the               board               of               directors               of               the               Columbia               Broadcasting               System               (C.B.S.),               after               having               been               introduced               to               C.B.S.

Chairman               William               Paley               in               1932               by               his               friend               and               business               partner               'Averell               Harriman'               (qv),               a               major               Democratic               party               power-broker.
               George               Bush               was               educated               at               the               exclusive               Greenwich               Country               Day               School               in               Greenwich,               Connecticut               before               moving               on               to               Phillips               Academy               in               Andover,               Massachusetts,               where               he               matriculated               from               1936               to               1942.

At               Phillips               Andover,               he               captained               the               baseball               and               soccer               teams               and               was               a               member               of               an               exclusive               fraternity               called               the               A.U.V,               or               "Auctoritas,               Unitas,               Veritas",               Latin               for               "Authority,               Unity,               Truth".

Like               his               father               before               him,               Bush               was               on               schedule               to               attend               Yale               College               and               would               have               in               the               fall               of               1942,               but               for               the               sneak               attack               on               Pearl               Harbor               by               the               Imperial               Japanese               Navy               on               December               7,               1941               that               necessitated               the               entry               of               the               United               States               into               World               War               II.
               Upon               his               graduation               from               Phillips               Andover,               George               Bush               enlisted               in               the               U.S.

Navy               on               June               12,               1942,               his               18th               birthday,               with               the               intent               on               becoming               an               aviator.

After               completing               the               10-month               naval               aviation               course,               he               was               commissioned               as               an               ensign               in               the               U.S.

Naval               Reserve               three               days               before               his               nineteenth               birthday,               which               made               him               the               youngest               naval               aviator               ever               at               the               time.
               George               Bush               married               the               former               Barbara               Pierce               on               January               6,               1945,               and               after               he               was               demobilized,               they               moved               to               New               Haven,               Connecticut               so               that               he               could               attend               Yale,               where               he               would               prove               a               fine               student               and               captain               the               baseball               team,               which               made               it               to               the               first               College               World               Series.

They               had               their               first               of               six               children,               future               President               George               Walker               Bush,               two               days               after               the               Fourth               of               July,               1946.

In               his               senior               year,               George               Bush               was               tapped               for               the               exclusive               secret               society               Skull               &               Bones,               as               had               been               his               father               (and               as               his               son               would               be).
               Using               his               father's               connections               and               $2               million               in               seed               money               from               his               relatives               (approximately               $20               million               in               2008               dollars),               George               Bush               prospered               in               the               oil               industry               after               graduating               from               Yale               in               1949.

Through               his               father's               business               and               social               relationship               with               a               fellow               Skull               &               Bones               member,               George               Bush               secured               a               position               with               Dresser               Industries,               on               whose               board               of               directors               Prescott               had               served               for               22               years.
               As               the               son               of               a               moderate               Republican               senator,               it               was               natural               that               George               Bush               would               stand               for               office.

At               the               time,               the               "Solid               South"               was               solidly               Democratic,               with               the               Republican               Party               of               Civil               War               winner               (and               Civil               Rights               champion)               Abraham               Lincoln               anathema               below               the               Mason-Dixon               line.

Good               Republican               candidates               were               hard               to               come               by               (though               John               Tower               later               proved               that               a               Republican               could               win               in               the               Deep               South               when               he               took               a               Senate               seat               in               1966).

One               year               after               his               father               left               the               Seante,               his               son               George               stood               won               the               Republican               nomination               to               oppose               Democratic               Senator               Ralph               Yarborough,               an               ally               of               President               Lyndon               Johnson,               who               was               on               his               way               to               defeating               Republican               Presidential               nominee               Barry               Goldwater               in               an               electoral               landslide               in               1964.

Riding               the               coat-tails               of               favorite               son               Johnson,               Yarborough               handily               won               reelection,               keeping               George               Bush               in               the               private               sector               for               two               more               years.
               Bush               stood               for               a               House               seat               in               1966               and               won,               then               won               reelection               in               1968.

In               Congress,               he               established               a               reputation               as               a               liberal               Republican               and               was               known               as               a               supporter               of               contraception               services               (his               father,               Prescott,               had               been               a               mainstay               of               Planned               Parenthood).

At               the               request               of               President               'Richard               Nixon,               Bush               gave               up               his               seat               voluntarily               in               1970               to               seek               the               Senate               seat               of               Democratic               Senator               Ralph               Yarborough,               who               was               a               fierce               Nixon               critic.

It               was               felt               that
               Ralph               Yaborough's               liberalism               made               him               vulnerable               to               a               challenge               from               the               right,               and               it               did;               however,               it               was               the               right-wing               of               the               Democratic               Party.

Lloyd               Bentsen               won               the               Democratic               nomination               and,               endorsed               by               Yarborough,               beat               Bush               handily               in               the               November               general               election.

(Ironically,               Bentsen               would               one               day               be               the               running               mate               of               Bush's               1988               rival               for               the               presidency,               Michael               Dukakis).

One               of               the               reason               for               Bush's               defeat               was               that               with               Yarborough               out               of               the               race,               Richard               Nixon's               support               for               Bush's               campaign               was               only               half-hearted.

Nixon               never               did               like               polished,               pedigreed               rich               boys               hailing               from               the               elite               Ivy               League               universities.
               As               a               payback               to               Bush,               Nixon               appointed               him               Ambassador               to               the               United               Nations,               and               he               later               served               Nixon               as               the               Chairman               of               the               Republican               National               Committee               during               the               Watergate               crisis.

Nixon's               successor               in               the               Oval               Office,               Gerald               Ford,               briefly               considered               appointing               Bush               as               his               replacement               as               vice               president               before               going               with               liberal               Republican               stalwart               Nelson               Rockefeller,               the               four-term               governor               of               the               State               of               New               York,               but               Ford               eventually               appointed               Bush               as               the               first               American               plenipotentiary               to               Communist               China,               then               later               director               of               the               Central               Intelligence               Agency.
               From               43rd               VIce               President               to               41st               President               of               the               United               States
               After               losing               the               1980               Republican               nomination               to               Ronald               Reagan,               Bush               was               chosen               as               Reagan's               running               mate               and               elected               Vice               President               of               the               United               States               in               Reagan's               victory               over               incumbent               President               Jimmy               Carter               in               November.

In               1988,               Vice               President               George               Bush               was               Reagan's               heir               apparent,               and               he               won               the               Republican               nomination               handily,               though               personally               he               was               not               very               popular.
               George               Bush               was               perceived               as               "weak"               due               to               his               social               liberalism,               which               included               support               for               abortion               rights               and               contraception.

As               a               "Rockefeller               Republican"               (that               is,               an               Eastern               Establishment               pro-business               Republican               who               is               moderate               or               liberal               on               social               issues),               Bush               was               out-of-step               in               an               increasingly               conservative               party               dominated               byvoters               from               the               South               and               West.

The               well-educated,               thoughtful               Bush,               according               to               Ronald               Reagan               biographer               Edmund               Morris               was               a               genuinely               nice               and               gracious               person,               and               more               importantly:               sincere.

However,               Bush               was               perceived               as               not               standing               for               anything,               at               least               not               in               the               stark               black               &               white               terms               that               had               inspired               the               conservative               if               not               reactionary               Republican               Party               faithful               during               the               two               terms               of               the               "Great               Communicator".
               Granted,               Ronald               Reagan               was               a               tough               act               to               follow,               but               the               media               did               not               sell               newspapers               and               magazines               by               being               gracious.

This               perceived               lack               of               "cojonnes"               gave               rise               to               the               term               "The               Wimp               Factor"               for               Bush               in               the               mass               media.

Newsweek               magazine               even               ran               a               profile               of               Bush               in               which               it               reported               that               his               father               Prescott,               worried               about               his               son's               "masculinity",               had               him               spend               a               summer               working               on               a               pig               farm               to               toughen               up.

Bush's               lack               of               personal               popularity               was               apparent               when               Democratic               nominee               Michael               Dukakis               came               out               of               the               Democratic               convention               with               an               overwhelming               lead               over               him.
               In               response               to               the               "Wimp               Factor"               charges,               George               Bush               and               his               handlers               launched               arguably               the               dirtiest               presidential               campaign               of               the               20th               Century,               and               they               were               aided               and               abetted               by               the               fact               that               Dukakis               would               not               or               could               not               handle               the               dirty               campaign               tactics               that               became               the               stock-in-trade               of               all               the               Vice               President's               men,               including               Lee               Atwater.

While               the               Dukakis               camp               expected               an               attack               on               their               candidate               as               a               traditional               liberal,               they               did               not               seem               to               be               able               to               cope               with               the               McCarthyite               vitriol               from               the               Bush               camp,               which               sought               to               make               the               "L"               word               the               equivalent               of               what               "communism"               had               been               in               the               early               1950s,               when               the               adjective               "Red"               and               "Pink"               were               epithets.
               Giving               lie               to               his               High-WASP               background,               Bush               attempted               to               portray               an               "Awe,               shucks",               good-old               boy               persona,               that               he               was               just               a               NASCAR-lovin'               cracker               from               Texas               (by               way               of               Phillips               Andover,               Yale               and               Kennebunkport,               Maine).

It               seems               that               if               Hee               Haw               star               'Junior               Samples'               (qv)               had               still               been               alive,               he               likely               would               have               been               hauled               off               the               set               to               film               an               endorsement               for               candidate               Bush,               so               determined               was               the               Ivy               League               alumnus               to               pour               on               the               corn               pone.

However,               during               the               campaign,               fighting               back               from               a               multi-point               deficit               in               the               opinion               polls,               a               darker               side               emerged               from               the               gentlemanly               George               Bush.
               Harkening               back               to               McCarthy,               George               Bush               had               accused               Michael               Dukakis               during               one               of               their               televised               debates               as               being               a               "card-carrying               member               of               the               American               Civil               Liberties               Union,"               replacing               "communist"               with               the               ACLU               (a               variation               of               the               "L"-word)               and               recycling               an               old               charge               from               the               '50s               against               liberals               and               "fellow               travelers".
               The               stoical               Dukakis               would               not               fight               back.

He               either               was               constitutionally               unable               to               fight               back,               or               thought               it               beneath               his               dignity               to               answer               the               smears               and               accusations.

Issues               the               Bush               campaign               chose               to               highlight               were               his               veto               of               legislation               requiring               public               school               teachers               to               lead               pupils               in               the               Pledge               of               Allegiance               and               his               opposition               to               capital               punishment.

Though               Dukakis               widely               was               perceived               to               have               performed               well               in               the               first               presidential               debate               with               Bush,               and               his               candidacy               was               buoyed               by               his               running               mate,               Texas               Senator               Lloyd               Bentsen,               who               was               not               afraid               to               take               off               the               gloves,               he               stumbled               badly               during               the               second               debate,               aiding               Bush's               oncoming               candidacy.
               The               Front               Runner               Stumbles
               In               the               second               debate,               Mike               Dukakis               --               suffering               from               the               flu               --               mishandled               a               question               about               rape               that               played               to               his               reputation               as               being               cold.

When               moderator               Bernard               Shaw's               question,               "Governor,               if               Kitty               Dukakis               [his               wife]               were               raped               and               murdered,               would               you               favor               an               irrevocable               death               penalty               for               the               killer?",               Dukakis               played               into               Bush's               hands.
               It               was               one               of               the               first               incidences               of               "Gotcha               Journalism"               played               out               on               the               national               stage,               and               established               a               precedent               for               a               generation               of               political               coverage               to               follow.

Barack               Obama,               during               the               2008               Presidential               season,               brushed               such               questions               off.

Mike               Dukakis               did               not.
               Projecting               himself               as               a               man               of               reason,               Dukakis               replied               with               no               visible               emotion,               "No,               I               don't,               and               I               think               you               know               that               I've               opposed               the               death               penalty               during               all               of               my               life,"               and               then               explained               his               stance.

Many               observers               felt               Dukakis'               answer               lacked               the               normal               emotions               one               would               expect               of               a               person               discussing               a               loved               one's               rape               and               death.

Many               -               including               the               candidate               himself               -               believe               that               this,               in               part,               cost               Dukakis               the               election,               as               his               poll               numbers               dropped               from               49%               to               42%               nationally               overnight.
               Arguably               the               greatest               issue               of               the               campaign               was               that               of               race               and               crime,               as               articulated               by               the               Bush               camp               in               the               prison               furlough               program               issue.

Framed               by               Lee               Atwater,               the               Bush               camp               ran               ads               that               criticized               Dukakis               for               a               prison               furlough               program               that               resulted               in               the               release               of               convicted               murderer               Willie               Horton,               an               African               American,               who               committed               a               rape               and               assault               in               Maryland               after               fleeing               Massachusetts.

While               it               was               Al               Gore               during               the               Democratic               primaries               that               was               the               first               candidate               to               publicly               raise               the               furlough               issue               and               highlight               the               fact               that               a               furloughed               prisoner               had               broken               into               a               house,               raped               a               woman               and               beaten               her               husband,               Gore               never               mentioned               Horton               by               name               or               highlighted               the               fact               that               he               black,               as               the               TV               ads               did               merely               by               running               his               picture.
               Despite               the               fact               that               the               furlough               program               was               started               before               Dukakis'               gubernatorial               administration               and               that               the               federal               government               under               Ronald               Reagan               had               a               similar               program               that               had               resulted               in               similar               outcomes,               candidate               Bush               decided               to               play               the               race               and               crime               card               to               boost               his               candidacy.

               The               Bush               campaign               refused               to               repudiate               it,               and               indeed,               followed               it               up               with               its               own,               official               campaign               ad,               "Revolving               Door,"               criticizing               Dukakis               over               the               furlough               program               without               mentioning               Horton.

In               the               1992,               2000               and               2004               presidential               elections,               Bush               and               his               scion,               George               Walker               Bush,               would               prove               masters               at               the               use               of               raising               controversial,               if               nor               downright               fraudulent,               issues               through               the               use               of               third-party               PACs               legally               held               at               arm's               length               of               their               campaign.

The               practice               would               reach               its               summit               during               the               2004               campaign               and               give               rise               to               the               term               "Swift               Boating",               after               a               campaign               questioning               John               Kerry's               exemplary               military               record.
               George               Bush               hammered               on               the               patriotism               theme               to               undermine               Mike               Dukakis               by               portraying               him               as               soft               on               defense,               in               regards               to               the               controversial               "Star               Wars"               Space               Defense               Initiative               program,               which               Dukakis               promised               to               scale               down.

The               response               to               this               provocation               lead               to               a               public               relations               disaster               when               the               Dukakis               campaign               engineered               a               photo-op               at               the               General               Dynamics               plant               in               Michigan               in               September               1988,               in               which               The               Duke               was               photographed               driving               an               M1               Abrams               tank.

Footage               of               Dukakis               was               used               by               the               Bush               campaign               as               evidence               he               would               not               make               a               good               commander-in-chief,               and               "Dukakis               in               the               tank"               is               still               shorthand               among               political               operatives               for               disastrous               public               relations               outings.
               The               campaign               arguably               was               the               dirtiest               since               the               19th               Century               until               George               Bush's               namesake               son               ran               for               reelection               against               John               Kerry               in               2004.

               As               the               41st               President               of               the               United               States,               George               Bush               saw               the               collapse               of               the               Soviet               Union,               and               he               soared               to               unprecedented               levels               of               public               approval               after               his               firm               handling               of               Saddam               Hussein's               invasion               of               Kuwait               pushed               the               Iraqi               army               out               of               the               invaded               kingdom               with               a               minimum               amount               of               U.S.

However,               his               popularity               plummeted               by               the               time               the               campaign               rolled               around               in               1992               due               to               his               seeming               inability               to               cope               with               a               recession               caused               by               economic               dislocations               linked               to               the               end               of               the               Cold               War.
               Hurt               by               the               perception               of               incompetence               when               handling               issues               on               the               home               front,               and               facing               a               loss               of               conservative               votes               due               to               the               third-party               candidacy               of               insurgent               Ross               Perot,               George               Bush               launched               a               repeat               of               the               dirty               campaign               tactics               of               1988,               though               he               was               hamstrung               by               the               death               of               campaign               coordinator               Lee               Atwater               and               by               the               ebullient               personality               of               Democratic               Presidential               nominee               Bill               Clinton.

When               confronted               with               the               Bush               campaign's               dirty               tactics,               Clinton               fought               back,               memorably               responding               to               the               pillorying               of               his               wife               Hillary               by               saying               "I'm               not               running               for               First               Lady",               thus               touching               on               Bush's               Achilles               heel,               the               "Wimp               Factor".
               Aside               from               his               poor               choice               of               Dan               Quayle               as               his               running               mate,               who               was               eviscerated               during               the               vice               presidential               debate               by               Bush's               former               opponent               Lloyd               Bentsen,               his               other               major               weakness               was               his               turnaround               on               his               tax               policy.

Taxes               are               always               a               bone               of               contention               with               any               electorate,               particularly               during               a               recession.
               During               the               1988               Presidential               campaign,               Bush               sought               to               portray               Michael               Dukakis               as               the               governor               of               "Taxachusetts"               and               made               a               pledge:               "Read               my               lips:               no               new               taxes".

It               was               a               pledge               he               violated               in               1990,               agreeing               with               the               Democratic               Congress               to               raise               taxes               in               order               to               combat               the               huge               deficit               rolled               up               during               the               Reagan               years.

His               reneging               on               his               non               new               taxes               pledge               alienated               many               members               of               his               conservative               base,               many               of               whom               didn't               trust               the               moderate,               socially               liberal,               pro-choice               Bush               anyway.
               Ross               Perot               won               19.9%               of               the               popular               vote,               the               highest               total               for               a               third-party               candidate               since               Theodore               Roosevelt               ran               on               the               Bull-Moose               ticket               in               1912,               effectively               dooming               Bush's               bid               for               reelection               and               throwing               the               electoral               college               to               Clinton.

Bush               won               37.4%               of               the               popular               vote               and               168               electoral               votes               to               Clinton's               43.0%               of               the               popular               vote               and               370               electoral               votes,               99               more               than               required               to               be               elected               president.
               Father               of               a               President
               After               the               presidency,               the               first               President               to               be               named               George               Bush               prospered               financially               by               making               whopping               fees               as               a               corporate               speaker,               reportedly               making               as               much               as               $10               million               from               the               Reverend               Sun               Myung               Moon.

Bush's               business               ventures               through               the               Carlyle               Group,               a               private               equity               fund               with               close               ties               to               the               government               of               Saudi               Arabia,               have               proved               very               remunerative.

Most               importantly,               he               achieved               personal               vindication               when               his               son,               George               Walker               Bush,               defeated               Clinton's               vice               president,               Al               Gore,               and               was               elected               the               43rd               President               of               the               United               States.
               Now               in               the               twilight               of               his               years,               comfortably               retired               from               the               political               wars,               Bush               has               teamed               with               fellow               ex-President               Bill               Clinton               in               a               uniquely               close               relationship               in               which               the               two               have               jointly               lead               campaigns               to               help               the               victims               of               the               2004               Indian               Ocean               tsunami               and               the               2005               devastation               of               the               Gulf               Coast               by               Hurricane               Katrina               via               private               sector               fund-raising.
