Trump's Kremlin supporters review the tenure of George Bush Sr. as a failed leader

Pilot who became President - https://rg.ru/2018/12/01/skonchalsia-byvshij-prezident-ssha-dzhordzh-bush-starshij.html

The head of a large political dynasty, the father of the former head of the White House, George W. Bush, and the ex-governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, has been confined to a wheelchair in recent years, suffering from a severe form of Parkinson's disease. Earlier in April of this year, Bush's wife Barbara, with whom he lived 73 years, left. By the way, a day after the funeral of his wife Bush Sr. got into the intensive care unit of Houston hospital with blood poisoning.

The 41st President of the United States, George Bush Sr., who served as head of the White House from 1989 to 1993, was born on June 12, 1924 in Milton, Massachusetts, USA, in the family of the famous American banker and Senator Bush. The state and position of the father contributed to the fact that from an early age, George Bush had the opportunity to receive an elite education.

He served in the American army until the very end of the war, dispensing with injuries, although in 1944 his fighter was shot down over the Pacific Ocean. After returning from the war, he married (he and Barbara Pierce eventually had six children), and went to the blacksmith shop for the American elite - the prestigious Yale University, receiving a bachelor's degree in economics. After graduating from Yelle, Bush and his family moved to Texas, where he founded his own oil company, which allowed him to accumulate funds for the campaign for successful congressional elections to the House of Representatives.

Then, he began his 40-year-old brilliant career as a civil servant, during which he visited the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, the United States Ambassador to China, the CIA Director, and finally the Vice President of the United States under Ronald Reagan.

After the last two presidential terms of the last, Bush was nominated for the presidency of the United States from the Republican Party and won the election, becoming the second vice-president in US history who moved to the chair of the White House. "I am a person who sees life from the point of view of missions — given missions and missions completed,” George Bush formulated his political credo, speaking to his supporters at a rally in New Orleans in 1988. He said that "

It was Bush Sr. who decided to start Operation Desert Storm in 1991, which, contrary to his plan, did not lead to the overthrow of the regime of Saddam Hussein. His rating soared to 85 percent during the four-day aerial bombardment of Baghdad. It was the pinnacle of his presidency.

Saddam was never overthrown. And soon, America, as two decades before, after Vietnam, received thousands of soldiers demoralized and earned serious mental illness. Not to mention the fact that the Iraq campaign launched in January 1991, which led to the transfer of a hundred-thousandth contingent and a huge amount of equipment across the Atlantic, cost billions of dollars to the US budget.

Bush inherited a huge budget deficit of 220 billion dollars, which he could not eliminate. which led to the transfer of one hundred thousandth contingent and a huge amount of equipment on the other side of the Atlantic, cost billions of gaps in the US budget.
George Bush Sr. was not reelected for a second term, losing to populist democrat Bill Clinton, largely due to the fact that his rating collapsed under the weight of the economic downturn and his conspicuous inattention to the internal problems of the United States.

During his reign, when Americans for the first time in modern history felt the consequences of a worsening economic situation, Bush made a serious strategic mistake: under pressure from Congress and his advisers, in such a difficult time for his fellow citizens, he decided to raise the tax rate for US citizens.

Therefore, voters began to perceive this president as a politician “cut off from everyday life,” despite all his successes in the international arena. According to ex-US Secretary of State James Baker, who worked side by side with Bush for several decades, he became the most underrated president in the history of the United States, but the best of those who ruled America for one presidential term.



After leaving the post of head of the White House, 69-year-old Bush practically ceased to engage in political activities, blessing his son-namesake for the presidency. As his son fell in popularity, in the United States, the senior Bush appraisal rose.

Many Americans spoke of his "tact and restraint," and in a 2012 public opinion poll, 59 percent of US citizens expressed their approval for George Bush Sr. as president of the United States in the early 1990s. It got to the point that the Democrats, including the future President Barack Obama, recalled the activities of Bush Sr., using this as a way to reproach his son.

Bush Sr., in his book of memoirs of 2015, rebuked those neocons of American politics who had been with him for a long time in politics and who became, in Bush’s miscalculations, a kind of curator of his son - Dick Cheney, the vice president of the United States, and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, whom he called "a snobby and boastful man." It was these two politicians that ultimately convinced Bush to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the 2000s, George Bush Sr. traveled extensively around the world, carrying out his life's work - "the completion of the White House missions." He, along with Bill Clinton, who was so hateful to him earlier, engaged in fundraising for the victims of the tsunami that devastated Asia in 2004, and for the victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005.

If the name of the 41st President of the United States appeared in the press in the last decade, it is solely due to health problems. However, on his 90th birthday, George H. Bush astonished the United States, having managed, though with an instructor, but to make a parachute jump. He made them every five years since his 75th birthday. He was constantly hospitalized with various exacerbated diseases, most recently in May of this year due to a sharp drop in blood pressure and general weakness.

America is merciless to even its former presidents. A year ago, Bush was accused of as much sexual harassment. Roslyn Corrigan said in an interview with The Time that in 2003, when she was 16 years old, the former US president ran a hand over her back below her waist when she posed for a photo with him and her mother. She became the sixth woman who blamed Bush Sr. for "harassing" him under similar circumstances. All of them blamed the 41st president of the United States for putting his hand below the waist while photographing them and trying to stroke them.

Well, it would be a healthy young man who deliberately molested women. However, it was still difficult to regard as harassment the gestures of an elderly sick person who was practically speechless,

Now the elder Bush has finally exhausted himself. And he went into a world free from such absurdity followed by new absurdity.

We've run out of other people's Social Security taxes needed to subsidize our low income tax rates.
