George Walker Bush likes to present himself as a straight-talking, regular guy. He has grown up in one of the most privileged homes in world history. Not only was Bush's dad was a president, his grandpa was a U.S. Senator and wealthy Wall Street banker, and his mom's blueblood family owned (among other things) the estate in Maine that Bush still hangs out at. Such is the story of 43rd and current President of the United States.

ollowing the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Bush declared a global War on Terrorism and ordered the invasion of Afghanistan which he publicly stated was in order to overthrow the Taliban, destroy Al-Qaeda and to capture Osama Bin Laden. In March 2003, Bush ordered an invasion of Iraq. Following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime, Bush committed the U.S. to establishing democracy in the Middle East, and specifically in both Afghanistan and Iraq in the short term. A self-described "war President", Bush won re-election in 2004 after an intense and heated election campaign, becoming the first candidate to win a majority vote in 16 years.

In 1978, he was an unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, at that time he was an entrepreneur in the oil industry in Texas. In 1994, Lady Luck smiled on him and he was elected the Governor of Texas where he worked on education reform, school finance reform, tort reform and sponsored the largest tax cut program in Texas history. He was re-elected as governor of Texas in 1998. He won the 2000 presidential election as the Republican candidate in a close and controversial contest. Although he did not secure a majority of the popular vote, he did win the required number of electoral votes after a very close battle in the state of Florida. As President, Bush pushed through a $1.3 trillion tax cut program and the No Child Left Behind Act, and has made efforts to privatize Medicare and Social Security. He has also pushed for socially conservative efforts such as the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, faith-based welfare initiatives, the Palm Sunday Compromise and the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment, which aims to amend the U.S. Constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman, and thus prevent recognition of same-sex marriage in the United States.

Bush has been criticized for a number of issues. The Iraqi War, the Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandals, as well as domestic issues such as federal funding of stem cell research, Hurricane Katrina, NSA warrantless surveillance controversy, record budget deficits, the nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court, and a number of scandals, such as the Jack Abramoff corruption scandal and the Plame CIA leak controversy.

Apart from all this, George Bush has done some commendable jobs-building a future of security, prosperity and opportunity for all Americans. He is also sympathetic to the common man by making them burden free from the tax, by signing into law tax relief that helps the workers keep more of their hard-earned money. In addition to this he also helped end economically disastrous taxation policies and move America to a more free-market economy leading to a resounding surge in stock market prices.
