noble goal for this country is that every child, born and unborn, ought to be
protected in law and welcomed into life. [U.S. Presidential debate in Boston (October 1, 2000)]
AUTHOR: George
Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) is an American politician and
businessman who was the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009
and the 46th Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000. The eldest son of Barbara
Bush and George H. W. Bush, he was born in New Haven, Connecticut. After
graduating from Yale University in 1968 and Harvard Business School in 1975,
Bush worked in oil businesses. He married Laura Welch in 1977 and ran
unsuccessfully for the House of Representatives shortly thereafter. He later
co-owned the Texas Rangers baseball team before defeating Ann Richards in the
1994 Texas gubernatorial election. In a close and controversial election, Bush
was elected president in 2000, becoming the fourth president to be elected
despite receiving less popular votes nationwide than his opponent. Bush is the
second president to have been the son of a former president. He is also the
brother of Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida.
