George Walker Bush , né le 6 juillet 1946 à New Haven , fils de George H. W. Bush et de sa femme, née Barbara Pierce, est un homme d'État américain, 43e président des États-Unis, en fonction du 20 janvier 2001 au 20 janvier 2009.
Membre du Parti républicain, il est élu à deux reprises gouverneur de l’État du Texas entre 1994 et 1998 puis entre 1998 et 2000, date à laquelle il quitte son poste de gouverneur à la suite de sa victoire, fortement disputée, à l'élection présidentielle. Il est élu président pour un second mandat le 2 novembre 2004.
Sa présidence est notamment marquée par les attentats terroristes du 11 septembre 2001, par la politique internationale dite de « guerre contre le terrorisme », par les Guerres d'Afghanistan et d'Irak, par l'adoption par le Congrès des États-Unis de l'USA Patriot Act et la création du département de la sécurité intérieure, puis par la crise des subprimes et le plan Paulson mis en place pour faire face à la crise financière de 2008 à la fin de son mandat.

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — I can't get fooled again.
