乔治·沃克·布什（George Walker Bush），1946年7月6日出生于美国康涅狄格州。于1995年-2000年间担任第46任的德克萨斯州州长。于2001年-2009年担任美国第43任（第54-55届）总统，任内遭遇了2001年的9·11事件，随后于2001年-2003年先后发动阿富汗战争、伊拉克战争等一系列反恐战争并取得较大成效，推行了1.3万亿元的减税计划、以及对于医疗保险和社会福利体制的改革和社会保守主义的政策。
布什政府在反恐战争的正当性、关塔那摩湾事件、虐囚门事件、以及飓风卡特里娜救灾工作的处置上遭遇到众多批评，执政民调认可度在911事件之后也有逐渐下滑的趋势。在美国在线于2005年举办的票选活动《最伟大的美国人》中，布什被选为美国最伟大的人物第6位。
 
George Walker Bush served as the 43rd President of the United States, from 2001 to 2009. He was born on July 6, 1946, in Connecticut, to George H.W. Bush – later the 41st President of the United States. He received a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale in 1968 and then served as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. He got a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School in 1975.
 
Following graduation, Bush began a career in the energy business. After working on his father’s successful 1988 Presidential campaign, President Bush assembled a group of partners that purchased the Texas Rangers1 baseball franchise2 in 1989. He entered politics and was the 46th Governor of Texas, serving from 1995 to 2000 - the first Governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive4 4-year terms.
 
Bush won the Presidency5 in 2000. He worked to extend freedom, opportunity, and security at home and abroad. His first initiative as President was the No Child Left Behind Act, a bipartisan measure that attempted to raise standards in schools. He also cut taxes for every taxpayer6 and implemented7 free trade agreements with more than a dozen nations.
 
The most significant event of Bush’s tenure8 came on September 11, 2001, when terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people in the 9/11 attacks. He declared a War on Terror and invaded Afghanistan to end the Taliban regime and find Osama bin9 Laden10. He later invaded Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that did not exist. Bush returned to his Texas ranch3 after leaving office and is now a public speaker.
