George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12 , 1924 ) was the 41st President of the United States of America serving from 1989 to 1993 . Prior to his presidency, Bush had been the 43rd Vice President of the United States under President Ronald Reagan . He was also a U.S. Congressman from Texas ( 1967 -1971 ), United States Ambassador to the United Nations (1971-1973), Republican National Committee Chairman (1973-1974), Chief of the U.S. Liaison Office in the People's Republic of China (1974-1976), and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (1976-1977). George Bush is the son of Prescott Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush . He was born in Milton, Massachusetts , and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut . Bush is the father of the 43rd and current President, George Walker Bush , and the current Governor of Florida , John Ellis Bush . In the 1980 presidential election , Bush ran for the office, stressing his wide range of government experience. In the contest for the Republican Party nomination, despite Bush's establishment backing, the front-runner was Ronald Reagan , former Governor of California who was now running for the third time for President. In the contest Bush represented the centrist wing in the GOP, was Reagan represented the conservative wing of the Republican Party. Bush labeled Reagan's supply side -influenced plans for massive tax cuts "voodoo economics." During the election, Reagan once famously described Bush as a " Brooks Brothers Republican," in response to which Bush opened his jacket at a press conference, smiling, to reveal a J. Press logo. Bush won the Iowa caucus to start the primary season, then told the press that he had "Big Mo" (or momentum ). However, Reagan came back to decisively win the New Hampshire primary , and Bush's "mo" was gone. [4] With a growing popularity among the Republican voting base, Reagan won most of the remaining primaries and the nomination. After some preliminary discussion of choosing former President Gerald Ford as his running mate, Reagan selected Bush as his Vice President, placing him on the winning Republican presidential ticket of 1980. Bush had declared he would never be Reagan's Vice President. Bush was many things Reagan had not been -- a life-long Republican, a combat veteran, and an internationalist with UN, CIA , and China experience. Bush was also more moderate in his economic positions and political philosophy than Reagan. The Reagan/Bush ticket won again by a huge landslide in 1984 against the Democrats' Walter Mondale /Geraldine Ferraro ticket. During his second term as Vice President, Bush became the first Vice President to become Acting President when, on July 13 , 1985 , President Reagan underwent surgery to remove polyps from his colon. Bush served as Acting President for approximately eight hours, most of which he passed playing tennis. Lifetime Warranty Summary of My Selling Policies Payment METHODS ACCEPTED : PayPal is preferred.
