George was born in Milton, Massachusetts

George was born in Milton, Massachusetts. You are wrong noting George W Bush was born in Connecticut. OK174.233.17.77 (talk) 06:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

What do you mean ok? Have you got a source? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:05, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Mention Crimes in first paragraph

Since Hitler's article mentions his crimes in the first paragraph of his article, why not mention the crimes of Bush in the first paragraph. Bush is responsible for the deaths of a million people in Iraq. That's a solid crime. That's a big bit of killing. So if Hitler gets that treatment, why not Bush? Fair is fair. It must be the pro American stance of wikipedia, right? Can't be calling out American presidents in the first paragraph of their articles? Too mean to American presidents is it?

...Are you really trying to make a comparison between Hitler and Bush? Really? --Rockstone^{Send me a message!} 00:29, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

If seliar killer A killed 17 and seliar killer B killed284, wouldn't you still mention that A killed 17? 5.14.143.17 (talk) 08:53, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

wow, Hitler and bush. Amazingly enough all the people who say things about how Iraq and Afghanistan were handled never have any proof just theory. What would you say if after 911 he did nothing. After all the reason it happened is because Clinton did nothing a few times. World trade center bombing, how about the USS Cole. There's more. Since we're speculating and talking smack. 2600:1004:B1C1:90DB:8031:9C6C:D147:F95 (talk) 03:29, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps it should also be noted that Bush was not chosen by a majority in 2000; this is not illegal according to US law, but the Supreme Court stopped the recount. In essence, the recount was stopped so that no further discussion of the circumstances being dubious (at best) would be allowed to be mentioned. Al Gore also served in Vietnam, which is mentioned in his Wikipedia page. Even in an alternate circumstance where Gore had decided to go to war in Afghanistan or even Iraq, it seems that Gore, who actually saw combat (he served with the 20th Engineers Brigade. Also, even if George W. Bush is never reported to have failed a course at Yale University or Harvard Business School, his going AWOL from the Air National Guard was below the minimum standards, and his performance was therefore equivalent to a failing grade. Therefore George W. Bush was not "barely" qualified to be President. He was unqualified by all logical conclusions. 2603:6000:C305:78DF:D9F2:80EE:A18F:A307 (talk) 03:23, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

"He was unqualified by all logical conclusions." Possibly, but there are no standard qualifications for the American presidents. Any clown can get elected through the voting system. Dimadick (talk) 10:05, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

I am not advocating being hateful or derisive toward George W. Bush. In fact, what I request is that we make as honest an assessment as we can. The Wikipedia page mentions the Partial Birth Abortion ban, which was signed into law in late 2003. No one would want to be "pro-partial birth abortion," even if the procedure is so-called and not literally a "partial birth." So in essence this is indicative of how Bush used privilege and expedience and let's not forget "luck" (last but not least), to build his political career. 2603:6000:C305:78DF:A0B4:B983:EDBA:7B78 (talk) 05:15, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

How was he not qualified? he was governor of Texas(a executive position) from 1994-2000 Waterdrinker11 (talk) 14:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Please do not fight! Wikipedia is a place where ideas come together! Also, PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE BUSH TO HITLER!! Amoxicillin on a Boat (talk) 23:57, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Respectfully, I don't think your political beliefs should interfere with Wikipedia. Others have disagreed with your point in other ways, but I think their responses are more inmature as well. Ulysses Grant Official (talk) 22:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

i think wikipedia should be honest and critical of all figures, since he did kill 1 million civilians, wikipedia should cover that in the first paragraph. 41.225.66.214 (talk) 12:01, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Let’s add Obama’s crimes to his profile too since he likes to bomb and main civilians from drones a lot 2601:584:101:B0D0:81F:6831:7064:3DD5 (talk) 01:03, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Michelle, or is the pronoun "him"?

Uh? "Bush famously passed mints to Obama during the McCain funeral in September 2018 and gave them to her again during the funeral of his father in December 2018." ???? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 22:36, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

The paragraph is about Bush's relationship with Michelle Obama, the "Obama" and the "her" in the sentence. The "him" in the sentence refers to Bush's father. The wording is a direct copy from the source. HiLo48 (talk) 23:05, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Page protection

This page is vandalised a lot. Can someone enable page protection? TheTechyOne (talk) 20:19, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 10 June 2024

The information pertaining to former president bushs spending increases state that his spending increased by 60% is inaccurate. His spending increase was 66.741196198994% if the information was going to be rounded to the nearest 10 then it should have rounded up however it would be more accurate to round the increase percentage to 65%. Seeing that large of a discrepancy in the math makes me feel like other information pertaining to the former president could also be misleading or inaccurate or possibly even intentionally misleading so I feel that it would be in Wikipedias and its users best interest to be as accurate as possible. No source needed as math is easily fact checked. 162.205.60.249 (talk) 11:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Bush is now 78.

Please change his age (b. July 6, 1946). Cronchconch (talk) 16:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

It's still the fifth. It will automatically update tomorrow. CRBoyer 16:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

there is no mention of the woman who accused bush of rape in October of 2000. Should this be mentioned or are there claims too dubious to have here? NotQualified (talk) 22:51, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

His SNL portrayal deserves its own article

I would say with how infamous he was and with how great Ferrell and Forte were at him, I think it deserves its own article. Vinnylospo (talk) 06:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Support - omg that would be fantastic! Dhantegge (talk) 06:29, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Definitely, especially as Ferrell is so iconic. Vinnylospo (talk) 04:07, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Oppose – Not noteworthy enough to warrant a stand-alone article. Drdpw (talk) 04:44, 29 July 2024 (UTC)\

Oppose - not a noteworthy subject for an article. Would you also suggest that there should be an article for Alec Baldwin's portrayal of Trump? Just no use for it. Atlboy64 (talk) 07:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

There already is an article for the SNL depictions of Trump. Vinnylospo (talk) 22:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

That other stuff exists is irrelevant. Drdpw (talk) 23:44, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

No it's not. jp×g🗯️ 21:18, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

This kind of thing is sometimes done, like with Joe Biden (The Onion). First though we need proof of significant independent coverage of SNL Bush; can you show any examples? Woozybydefault (talk) 20:25, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Oppose - We ould need a reliable sourcce describing the act, and its significance. 06:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
