George Bush
George Walker Bush (born
July 6, 1946) is an American politician and businessman who was the 43rdPresident of the United States from 2001 to 2009 and the 46th
Governor of Texas from 1995 to
2000.He was born in New Haven,
Connecticut.He married Laura Welch in 1977 and ran unsuccessfully for the House of Representatives shortly thereafter.
This is a clip showing the President George Bush being interviwed about Terrorists whilst on the golf course. When he has finished talking he then continues with his game of golf. Some people may think that this is good, as even
though he’s engaed in leisure activities he’s still thinking about the important
issues. On the other hand some people may think he needs to take his job a lot
more serious and keep both the job and the leisure activity separate from one
another. People who have been effected by terrorism may feel insulted by this attitude.
In my opinion I think this shows a relaxed attitude towards his job and he can be
serious but also have fun which I think is important. Like all of us we need to have a good balance between our work and relaxation.
