papa bush to obama presidents
TRANSCRIPT
Reagan sure left a Legacy The economic boom of the 80’s led
America to elect another Republican President
America elected George H. W. Bush in 1988
He too was concern about domestic issues!
“Read my lips…no new taxes”
George Bush
However, due the spending Reagan had done this would almost be impossible
Bush had inherited a growing national deficient and a slowing economy.
This slowing was in part due to the end of the Cold War
George Bush
With the Cold War ending in 1991, the need for a large military was over
Thousands of soldiers, workers were released
Companies were downsizing, laying workers off
Bush would have to break his campaign promises
The Persian Gulf War Bush would also be
caught up in a war in Iraq
Said we would not allow countries to bully others.
With Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait and the US interest in the oil
We launched operation Desert Storm and Shield
The war would last just 100 days
Thanks Ronald!
