George W. Bush: Difference between revisions

Bush is one of two sons of Presidents to become President (the other being [[John Quincy Adams]]), and he is a fifth cousin four times removed of former president [[Franklin Pierce]]. He is also the first descendant of a former president to serve two terms ([[John Quincy Adams]] and [[Benjamin Harrison]] both served one). Bush endured one assassination attempt: a guy lobbed a grenade at him while making a speech with [[Georgia|Georgian]] President Mikheil Saakashvili in Tblisi, but the grenade was a dud, and Dubya was completely unharmed. This makes him the first president since [[James Monroe]] elected in a year divisible by ten neither to [[William Henry Harrison|die]] [[Zachary Taylor|while]] [[Warren G Harding|in]] [[Franklin D Roosevelt|office]] nor to be [[Ronald Reagan|severely injured in assassination attempt]] (or, you know, [[Abraham Lincoln|actually]] [[James Garfield|be]] [[William McKinley|successfully]] [[John F Kennedy|assassinated]]).

 

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Osama Bin Laden. One could argue that [[Michael Moore]] also fits this trope.

* [[The Atoner]]: How Colin Powell claims he saw his resignation from the administration.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Bush was known for his loyalty to his [[True Companions]], but this did happen in one case, with Katherine Harris. She played a controversial and important role in counting the ballots that were needed for Bush to win the 2000 election as Florida's Secretary of State. When she finally ran for Senate, the White House did not repay this favor, not giving her any support in her Senate race, and she lost it in a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] to Bill Nelson.

* ''[[Lil' Bush]]'' (featuring [[The Wild Thornberrys|Flea]] as [[The Unintelligible|Lil' Dick Cheney!]])
