...evidence against George W. Bush is this: George W. Bush read a children’s story aloud about a pet goat throughout the entire unfolding of 9/11. There were four hijacked planes, two towers hit and he still kept reading the story. He did not monitor what was going on. He did not order any action. He did not even get himself to a safe location. I know this story is true because I have him on video tape. I bought a copy of the Great Conspiracy video showing Bush at the school. . Keep in mind when this video was shot, one tower was already hit. Unfortunately, that Memory Hole video does not catch Card whispering in Bush’s ear. It just shows him carrying on as if nothing happened. Nero played the violin while Rome burned. George W. Bush read a children’s story while New York burned. Now how do you interpret this? I agree there are many ways to interpret his inaction, but it seems every possible interpretation should be sufficient to impeach George W. Bush. Unfortunately, that fact alone is insufficient for impeachment. We have to determine which particular explanation actually applies. George W. Bush was the only man in the western world who did not know what was going on. His handlers kept him in the dark. George W. Bush was just a figurehead, so it was not necessary for him to stop reading. Nor did those truly in charge really need him when he finally did stop. Getting him to read a children’s story helped occupy him and keep him out of the way. George W. Bush was so clueless...

...Homeland Security policies of President George W. Bush & Harry S. Truman Tasheika Fulmore Strayer University Professor Shelly Taylor Homeland Security Policies of George W. Bush and Harry S. Truman Over the years the citizens of the United States have had to either sit or seethe when a policy was passed by a president or they benefited from the policy implementation. We find examples in the civil rights act or most recently Obama care when it comes to looking at highly protested policies. However, no matter the feeling or benefit, presidents are expected to make policies. This paper will focus on two specific polices that deal directly with homeland security and will focus in on the presidents that created and enforced these policies. According to Robert Harvey (2008) ever since post WWII the U.S. has had a conflicted attitude towards safety. The author of this paper will coagulate a time line of two presidents and their desire to appease the safety view of Americans. For example, President George W. Bush and his homeland security act which grew out of the issues that arose after the 9/11 attacks. And also President Harry S. Truman’s national security bill which established the Department of Defense during the cold war. Each president had his own motive for signing these national security bills, but each bill grew out of similar problems that they each faced during their presidential areas. Both, presidents were under huge public pressure to make a decision...

...Following 9/11 there was a sense of fear like no other into the minds of the American people. This fear was if Americans were safe from terrorist groups entering the US, and the trauma from what some Americans experienced on 9/11. In his novel, John Botte reflects on his thoughts after experiencing ground zero, "Along with thousands of others who lost loved ones to 9/11, I relive the events of that day every day” (Botte 5). Botte’s statement accurately reflects the emotions of many Americans, and after 9/11 the US sought to make some drastic changes to secure the US from external threats. Arguably the most controversial law put in place to protect the people was the Patriot Act. Put into action just 45 days after 9/11, the Patriot Act is still...

...Just Water Under The Bush? By: Janice Foster There is a term that old folks often say to refer to something that has taken place in the past that cannot be changed and therefore you just get over it. This is easier said than done especially if you are the living reminder of what cannot be changed. All of us have been affected by George w. Bush and his administration whether it is good or bad, directly or indirectly. There are some of us who have been affected in ways that you can only imagine. Sometimes even though something has taken place in the past it can have an important bearing on how you prepare for your future. For Katrina and 911 victims, the term may not be so easy to apply in their lives. The presidency of George W. Bush began on January 20, 2001, when he was inaugurated as the 43rd President of the United States of America. George W. Bush is the oldest son of former president George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush was elected president in the 2000 general election, and became the second US president whose father had held the same office.

...11th terrorist attacks on the United States, the American government began "clearing the nation of thousands of its Muslims" ("Arab"22). Fear of another deadly attack had crippled not only the Bush Administration, but also the entire nation. The Bush Administration implemented a new tactic of prevention: racial profiling. Racial profiling has caused millions of innocent “Arab-looking” people to lose their lives because of racial bigotry. "There is absolutely no evidence to support claims of superiority" (Swedlund 60); these claims of superiority are the government's inability to accurately profile terrorists and provide civilians with false protection. Racial profiling is an excuse for blatant racism of minority groups...

...alternative officially becomes a public policy due to our government adopting it. The next phase is the policy implementation phase, which is where the public policies that are adopted in the previous stage are put into operation. The fifth and final stage is the policy evaluation stage where the policy goes through an evaluation stage (effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, and equity). The USA Patriot Act is just one of many polices that have been passed by our government that has caused great controversy amongst the people. The USA Patriot Act is an act that was signed on October 26, 2011 by former president George W. Bush (George W. Bush Signs the Patriot Act). USA Patriot is an acronym that stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA Patriot Act).

..."Fahrenheit 911 Full Movie" 1. In the Supreme Court case of “Gore v. Bush,” Bush was declared the President of the United States. Explain what really happened during the election. The Gore v. Bush election in 2000 hinged on the state of Florida, the election was covered in lead by Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN all followed Fox’s lead in the announcement of President. The call was made by John Ellis, a freelance political advisor contracted by Fox News to head their election night “decision desk.” Ellis is also first cousin to George W. Bush and Florida governor. By calling the election for his first cousin, Ellis’ involvement was scrutinized for being instrumental in turning Bush’s loss in the popular vote. Furthermore, the Florida election was held under the supervision of Florida Secretary of state, Katherine Harris, a co-chair of the Bush campaign. This and Ellis’ position at Fox presented an interesting campaign issue: fraud. Ellis announced Bush as the winner of Florida; however, the margin of victory triggered a mandatory recount, the litigation ultimately reached the United States Supreme Court. The Courts decision ended the recounts. On the day of the joint session both the house of representatives and the senate was to certify the election results, Al Gore in his dual role as Vice President and President of the Senate presided over the event that would officially anointed George W. Bush as the new President. If any congressman wanted to raise an objection...
