George W. Bush

By Jeff Rosenberg

On the day he was inaugurated, many still questioned how he had won the election -- television pundits questioned the legitimacy of his presidency. Today, George W. Bush is considered one of the greatest American leaders of the last half-century. How did George W. Bush go from winner of one of the most controversial elections in American history to a president enjoying astronomical public support? Was it simply fate, a case of a man being in the right place at a time when we needed to believe in our president? Or was it something much deeper than that, the case of a skilled leader who believed in both his own abilities and the American people, and who unhesitatingly lifted the fate and weight of a nation upon his shoulders?George W. Bush looks back and discovers a man who, from the moment he delivered his inaugural address, was resolute about his vision for the country.From taking the oath of office to leading a nation into war, George W. Bush traces the development of a man, a leader, a presidency. This tour guide through one of America's most momentous years stops at the events that have made the Bush presidency, including: -- The Chinese spy plane incident-- A difficult decision about stem cell research-- Meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin-- The September 20, 2001 address to Congress and the nation-- The famous bullhorn address at Ground Zero in New York City
