George W. Bush
The Public Record
George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States, serving from January 20, 2001, to January 20, 2009. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as the Governor of Texas from January 17, 1995, until December 21, 2000. His presidency was marked by significant events, including the September 11 attacks in 2001 and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Bush's domestic policies included tax cuts, education reform, and Medicare prescription drug benefits.
Long before the global war on terror began, Dr. Peake was changing the way we deliver medical care to our troops.
I hope that Congress fully funds Millennium Challenge, and that we'll work with Uganda on their eligibility.
Caring for our military veterans is a solemn responsibility of the Federal Government.
I again ask Congress to send me a clean veterans funding bill that we have already agreed to by Veterans Day.
It's hard to imagine a more cynical political strategy than trying to hold hostage funding for our troops in combat and our wounded warriors.
He will be a superb Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and the United States Senate should promptly confirm him.
And incredibly enough, the Senate will take up the same bill next week, which wastes valuable time.
And I appreciate that and congratulate you on being a man of your word.
I urge Congress to keep the Internet tax-free and to get a bill to my desk that I can sign.
We look forward to continuing to work with you, sir, to bring peace and stability to the neighborhood.
Congress needs to keep their promise to stop wasting time and get essential work done on behalf of the American people.
I'm confident they're inspired by you, but they're wondering about your health and your safety.
The thing I like about Governor Schwarzenegger, he says, 'You show me a problem, I'll charge it; if you show me a hill, I'll go up it.'
I also am out here to make sure these firefighters behind me and the first-responders know how much I appreciate and how much the country appreciates their courage and bravery.
We've got some incredibly brave citizens who are risking their lives to protect people and property in California, and we owe a great debt of gratitude to our Nation's firefighters.
