hello guys welcome to my steemit,my name is shady and today i am with the news coming to us just in the last few minutes that the 41st president of the United States George Herbert Walker Bush has passed away at the age of 94. A statement coming in just a short while ago from George HW Bush's son George W Bush, the 43rd president saying that his father had passed away the entire Bush family, he says is grateful for forty-ones life and love for the companionship of those who have cared and prayed for dad and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens. George HW Bush, the President of the United States for one term from 1989 to 1993.

The presidency at a moment rich with promise for George Bush becoming president was the capstone of a lifetime of public service that would also include being the father of a president. In fact the Bush family has been among the most prominent in American political history. but while George Herbert Walker Bush grew up in wealth and privilege and went to the best schools. he also learned the importance of serving his country a Navy pilot during world war 2. He was shot down over the Pacific and rescued by a passing submarine. the moment incredibly captured on camera, he returned home married his sweetheart Barbara Pierce and started a family moving to Texas in 1948 to get into the oil business. They suffered the loss of daughter Robyn to leukemia but raised five children. In 1964, the year he turned 40 Bush got into politics running for Senate, I certainly hope and and I'll bet you do too that our children can grow up knowing what freedom really is. he lost but later won a House seat and ran for Senate again. In 1970, this time with help from President Nixon and George Bush in my opinion is the best man when he lost again Nixon appointed him ambassador to the UNI consider myself a very lucky guy. but his next job was chairman of the Republican Party during Watergate. Nixon's successor Gerald Ford made him his envoy to China. but this land aren't handing that just a year later an even bigger assignment director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

when everybody was down on it, when Ford lost to Jimmy Carter Bush left the CIA but he will do next, he didn't say what he did next was run for president. I do pledge a new candor Bush lost the nomination to Ronald Reagan in 1980 and his political career seemed over until this stunning announcement at George Bush for eight years, Bush was Reagan's loyal vice president surviving questions about his role on the iran-contra scandal to become Reagan's heir apparent. Defeated Democrat Michael Dukakis in 1988 and became President of the United States. so help me God the Bush years saw epic events on the world stage the Tiananmen Square, massacre, the fall, the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union itself by the grace of God America won the Cold War but his presidencies defining moment was Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. This will not stand this aggression against Kuwait backed mind international coalition Bush launched Operation Desert Storm and drove Iraqi forces out aggression is defeated the war is over but Saddam Hussein remained in power. Until Bush's son toppled him 12 years later. I thought Saddam Hussein would fall of his own weight when the war ended and I thought they'd throw him the hell out of there and they didn't Bush's post-war popularity soared then sank over economic concerns closer to home. In 1992, he lost to Bill Clinton becoming a one-term president.

George Bush enjoyed an active retirement full of grandchildren fishing even skydiving and he saw his eldest son become president but he kept his advice to a minimum and his son charted his own course Bush was no stranger of partition politics. but he aspired to a higher ideal as when he teamed up with Bill Clinton on global relief efforts. A former president for decades, he saw grand daughter Jenna Bush Hager become a Today Show correspondent and what's aging like Hades. All right better nail alternative, he saw Republicans turn away from the bush brand and the party establishment it represented one second no rejecting son Jeb's bid for the presidency. He survived his wife of 73 years Barbara Bush and welcomed an outpouring of affection for her theirs was the longest marriage in presidential history throughout his long life George Bush was admired as a man of decency modesty and uncommon achievement values that to the end reflected.
