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'm proud of our United States military, that when I sent you into action, I knew you would not let this Nation down.
It is such a powerful feeling to know that I represent a great land that is united in our efforts to secure freedom.
The strength of our country is not the halls of Government. The strength of the country is the people.
Either you're with us, or you're against us; either you stand for freedom, or you stand with tyranny.
It is such an honor to be the President of the greatest nation on the face of the Earth.
I believe Americans are still willing to sacrifice for causes greater than themselves.
The Peace Corps is committed to returning to Peru and to sending volunteers to East Timor.
Tax relief has raised the prospects of a solid recovery in 2002 by boosting economic growth by 0.5 percentage point.
When America was attacked on September the 11th, they thought our country would splinter into fear and selfishness.
I consider the Yucca Mountain site qualified for application for a construction authorization for a repository.
Raising taxes, as many in Congress advocate, would not only lower long-run growth prospects but also jeopardize a recovery.
A deep geologic repository, such as Yucca Mountain, is important for our national security and our energy future.
Tax relief is strengthening families and has reduced the burden of financing education.
We've got to remember, we're fighting an enemy that really can't stand the values spread by the Peace Corps.
The nascent recovery is still vulnerable and can be derailed by adverse shocks such as those arising from a tax increase.
The greatness of the country is in the values we believe in, freedom and hope and opportunity.
I urge the Congress to undertake any necessary legislative action on this recommendation in an expedited and bipartisan fashion.
Raising taxes during a period of slow economic growth, however, does not make economic sense.
This recommendation is the culmination of two decades of intense scientific scrutiny.
I have called for twice as many Peace Corps volunteers over the next 5 years.
Good policies that support this system should not be taken for granted.
