What would you do, if you were presented with terrorism, war and poverty while people you knew fought against your attempts at ending those things? George Walker Bush, the 43^rd president of the United States of America, showed his Godliness and amazing leadership throughout much oppression. He grew up in Texas and graduated Yale with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history. Because of his hard work, he also earned a Master of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. I believe his faith in the one and only Lord kept his values in line and all his hard work allowed him to make the best decisions possible despite much opposition.

In June 2000, Bush ran and won the US Presidency. His views which demanded for a shift in policy for amendments banning abortion, gender-neutral marriage, carbon emissions controls, and immigrant work program won him much support. Even so, he received a huge anti war response when he sent US troops into Iraq because of terrorism by Iraqi President, Saddam Hussein. Two million people marched through London and many riots started. People in England who knew almost nothing about what was really going on decided they didn’t want to be paying taxes to send their troops to fight a war. The biggest hit was yet to come when on September 11, 2001, I drew back, shocked, when I saw the iconic twin towers billowing smoke. Only months into his presidency, Bush had to deal with the loss of hundreds of lives as the buildings fell, struck by hijacked planes.

Despite all the major events and economic crises, Bush stood firm in his values and guided the United Stats to a path of peace and strength. A few of his actions include bailing out American International Group for eighty-five billion, dealing with soaring oil prices, and trying to hold on to the dollar’s value during the longest post-World War II recession ever. He lived his presidency as a light in the midst of much confusion and degrading morals and demonstrated amazing leadership skills as our country went through some tough events. Even today, I pray for him that he will continue to use his skills, out of presidency, for the good of our nation. Promoting Godly foresight made George Walker Bush an incredible leader and role model who I will look up to for the rest of my life.
