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.

Bush's domestic policies included tax cuts, education reform, and Medicare prescription drug benefits.
It is a bold plan—and it is matched by a bold agenda for government reform.
My budget provides the resources to combat terrorism at home, to protect our people, and preserve our constitutional freedoms.
Federal funding is available to eligible local governments on a cost-sharing basis for debris removal and emergency protective measures.
It's a matter of fairness. It's a matter of openness. It's a matter of respect for the process.
This country is a country that is not only strong and determined, but it's a compassionate country as well.
Government must expedite and stand on the side of faith-based programs.
All the three countries I mentioned now are on notice that we intend to take their development of weapons of mass destruction very seriously.
I'm going to be relentless in my desire to enhance economic growth, and that means jobs.
Since the attacks of September the 11th, it has become obvious to everyone how essential the community and faith-based groups are to the well-being of our Nation.
I think the best way to peace is for us all to keep the focus on what derails peace, and what derails peace is terror.
If you threaten us with weapons of mass destruction, if you threaten our allies and friends with weapons of mass destruction, we will do whatever it takes to protect our people.
We fight for freedom, and we stand for freedom, and we won't relent until we defend freedom at its core.
My hope is—I said in my speech, I hope nations hear our call and make right decisions.
I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, and all of the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities that highlight and honor the myriad contributions of African Americans.
I think what we need to do is to fight terror on all fronts in the Middle East, so that at some point we can get into the Tenet and then Mitchell accords.
My dream is to change that culture to one in which each of us are responsible for the decisions we make in life.
