George W. Bush Administration

Introduction

Bush began his political career assisting his father in the campaigns for U.S. Senate in 1964 and 1970. After leaving the National Guard in 1972, he served as political director for the Senate campaign in Alabama. In 1978, he got elected to the House of Representatives, but lost to his opponent, Democrat Ken Hance (now a member of the Republican Party). However, in 1994, Bush took a leave from the Rangers to qualify for Governor of Texas, against the popular Governor of the time, Democrat Ann Richards. However, Bush easily won the Republican primary and November 8 of 1994 defeated Richards (Kessler, 2004).

However, Bush gave a high value on personal loyalty and as a result; his administration maintained high discipline of message and maintained a management style of noninterference. However, critics claimed that Bush was willing to overlook mistakes made ??by his loyal subordinates (Pillar, 2006).

In light of these two positions, it seems that Bush cares more to show resolve and determination to deny his critics over the defects and failures plaguing his administration, from the emphasis on the need to excel through the payment in its direction and the pursuit behind him. In fact, this tendency is the one who explains Bush's ability to Touch was George Tenet who resigned from his post as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, CIA. A few months ago - a medal value, after it became clear falsity of the allegations and the agency on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and the steadfastness of Donald Rumsfeld in his post as defense minister for a long while Iraq disintegrates (Dyson, 2006).

Moreover, it gets highlighted that the way Bush administration bond in the Congress, has dominated by the Republicans and the majority has abandoned the ...
