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.
I told the Prime Minister what I've stated publicly before: Israel is a close friend and ally of the United States, and in the event of any attack on Israel, the United States will come to Israel's aid.
I believe, and Prime Minister Olmert agrees, that a negotiated final status agreement best serves both the Israelis and the Palestinians and the cause of peace.
It’s illogical for somebody to say, I’m for a state side by side with another state, and yet I don’t want the state to exist.
Our beef is with the Government that says they don't recognize Israel.
We reaffirmed the deep and abiding ties between Israel and the United States.
This program would reduce pressure on the border, meet the needs of our economy, and allow honest immigrants to provide for their families while respecting the law.
I oppose it. Amnesty would be unfair to those who are here lawfully, and it would invite further waves of illegal immigration.
I believe America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time.
America has shown before that we can enforce our laws and uphold our values, and we will do it again.
We must resolve the status of millions of illegal immigrants who are already here.
There's a rational middle ground between automatic citizenship for every illegal immigrant and a program of mass deportation.
When immigrants assimilate, they will advance in our society, realize their dreams, renew our spirit, and add to the unity of America.
We must enforce our laws while honoring our proud immigrant heritage.
American Students Must Succeed In Math And Science At All Levels To Compete In The Global Economy.
Some of the most intractable problems in our country cannot be solved by money.
I call upon government agencies, private organizations, schools, media, and residents in the coastal areas of our Nation to share information about hurricane preparedness and response to help save lives and protect communities.
Send him back to the United States Congress and you'll be better off for it.
