George+Bush's+Future

One major question to ask is : Would the outcome of the election of 2004 have been different if 9/11 didn't happen ?
= 2004 Election : =

Bush V. Kerry

__**George W. Bush's Campaign**__

__**John Kerry's Campaign**__
 * Bush had waged a global war on terror in the year 2001.
 * In the election of 2004, he used his war on terror much to his advantage.
 * Defending and protecting America became the platform of his campaign.
 * Tax Cuts


 * There was not much parody in the same two campaigns
 * Kerry also tried to promise to keep the country safe
 * very boring (lacking the flair that most presidents had(

Winner : George W. Bush How does this connect to 9/11 ?

If the attacks never happen !


 * 1) Bush isn't able to wage his war on terror
 * 2) His campaign in 2004 can't be solely based off of protecting the U.S from terror
 * 3) The 2004 presidential election would have then been more concentrated on domestic issues

Would the Result have differed ?

From the moment Bush was in office, he was basically forced to deal with foreign policy left and right in the Middle East. The Bush administration never had money or time to address domestic issues. Therefore, we would need four years of his administration to deal with domestic issues before we could jump to a conclusion in order to answer this question.

Bush's Legacy

 * George Bush will forever be known as one of the worst two term presidents
 * As President, he entered into a very questionable war in Iraq ( that is still dragging on )
 * He left with the economy in shambles
 * He was in office for the september 11th Attacks
 * His dumbfounded smirk and inability to talk
 * He wasn't all bad

BUSH'S 100

>
 * 1. $1.6 Trillion Tax Cut** – In his first 100 days George W. Bush’s top administrative priority, a $1.6 trillion tax cut, passed the House of Representatives, on its way to eventual passage in the Senate.
 * 2. Faith Based Initiatives** – Early in his first 100 days, President Bush signed an executive order creating White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. The office focused solely on helping religious or “faith-based” groups obtain federal tax dollars.
 * 3. The Environment** – Bush rolled back some of the Clinton era environmental regulations. He also announced that the U.S. was abandoning the Kyoto Protocol, and began his push to allow drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge.
 * 4. No Child Left Behind** – Only six days after taking office, President Bush sent his No Child Left Behind education reform plan to Congress. The bill, H.R. 1, was the first major piece of legislation passed for the new president.
 * Judging by Bush's first 100 days, He seems to have foreshadowed an awfully impressive resume


 * Had the attacks not happened. Bush's whole presidency wouldn't have been overshadowed by his diplomatic Resume.


 * Although his legacy is bad, if 9/11 never happened, it makes one think what if ?
