Abstract
This paper examines the numerous factors affecting presidential campaigns and their outcomes. The paper discusses the George Bush and Al Gore campaigns and looks at how the Electoral College, polls, state-by-state contests and the electoral geography each impact the election results. The paper further discusses the difficulty in predicting the winners of these elections as a result of all the influencing factors.
From the Paper
"In an election with no dominant theme, predictions are difficult. Especially this particular Presidential election, in which it is entirely plausible that one candidate could win the popular votes, while another becomes President-elect. Americans must remember that this outcome has occurred before, and that the Presidential elections are not decided by the people, but by the Electoral College. Furthermore, although most Americans know that the Electoral College chooses their President, few understand the inner workings of this archaic institution. The end result is a difficult prediction that must account for the polls, state-by-state contests, and the electoral geography of the campaign."

Abstract
A comparison of Presidential candidate Al Gore's political platform with the ideals of historical American political figures reveals a drastic shift toward governmental concern with policy matters once considered individual choices or affairs of foreign governments. When the Constitution was drafted, the American government was intended to involve itself with domestic matters and the preservation of national and personal liberties. Today's political thought extends into areas such as world politics and family issues.

Abstract
Written before the U.S. Presidential election in 2000, this paper examines Bush?s platform, specifically highlighting where it deviates from Republican doctrine. The writer focuses on a number of issues relevant to the elections including education, taxes, foreign policy, the economy, defense budget, healthcare and campaign finance. The paper leans towards Bush as the longtime favorite for the 2000 Republican nomination for President. It claims his appeal has rested on the belief that he is a moderate Republican, and thus has the best chance of being elected.
From the Paper
"At first glance, Bush seems to be treading on dangerous ground by suggesting that schools teach values, rather than parents. However, his proposals are so nebulous that it is impossible to tell exactly what he is suggesting. One clear part of Bush?s agenda seems to be his proposal that government encourage religious groups to take a more active role in America?s public schools. That, of course, would be unconstitutional, which raises the question of whether this is truly a sincere proposal or merely a bone to assuage religious conservatives."

Abstract
This essay applies the theories contained in Barber's book Presidential Character, to George W. Bush and investigates which personality profile he fits into. The author analyzes whether he is active, positive, passive or negative. Includes an in-depth look into the Bush's formative years.
From the Paper
"In his book Presidential Character, James Barber outlines certain characteristics, traits and life experiences which he feels produce particular types of presidents. Depending on these characteristics, traits and experiences, he then provides the reader with four possible categories within which to place the candidate. By ascertaining which category a contender falls into, Barber maintains that society can and should judge their suitability for presidential office. A major element in ascertaining a candidate?s category is the study of their personality. Barber feels that personality is ?patterned?, meaning that character, worldview and style all work together in its creation. Once one has an in-depth knowledge of a candidate?s personality, one is able to analyze how they would react and interact with current world forces, events and issues. Barber also stresses the importance of researching the president?s childhood and the environment in which their personality was shaped, through to the initial important decisions made in adult life."

George W. Bush, 2000.

Abstract
This paper reviews Governor George W. Bush's presidential aspirations. This paper also gives a brief history of Bush's political career as well as detailing the political struggle between republican Bush and democrats Al Gore and Bill Bradley.
From the Paper
"The real test will come in New Hampshire and Iowa, where Bush is already airing TV commercials. Some pundits have said that McCain should do well in New Hampshire because he tends to represent the hardened New England patriot more than Bush, who (so some critics are willing to publicize) was the pampered son who did some time but not anywhere close to where danger might occur. Forbes' money might also garner some votes in these very early primaries, but unofficial prognosticators claim it will be Bush-McClain at the end of the primary day, certainly in New Hampshire."

Hurricane Katrina and George W. Bush's Ratings, 2006.
A reflection of Hurricane Katrina on George W. Bush's public relations ratings.
8,421 words (approx. 33.7 pages), 18 sources, APA, AU$ 287.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the implications of public relations regarding the Katrina disaster for President George W. Bush and the Republican Party.
This is in light of the fact that the public approval of the president's handling of his job and personal favorability ratings have declined to low levels among American voters. The Bush administration's decisions on the War in Iraq are increasingly unpopular among voters, with low approval rates of the president's handling of the war and deep doubts about the value of the war in relation to costs. The president's ratings have sharply declined as a result of the president's handling of Hurricane Katrina. The paper concludes that voters are increasingly dissatisfied with Bush's presidency. It is therefore clear that the Bush administration will have to work long and hard to come up with new ideas for improving the president's image or face an unsuccessful second term.

"In recent months, much of America's attention has been focused upon the tragedies associated with Hurricane Katrina's damage to Louisiana. Among the issues associated with the aftermath has been the performance of President George W. Bush and the federal government in responding to the catastrophe. Many national polls (Silverman, 2005, CBS News, 2005) have shown significant dissatisfaction with Bush's handling of the hurricane's damage."

Abstract
This paper discusses the presidency of George W. Bush, focusing on his failings, particularly with regard to the war on terror. The paper argues that Bush has proven himself to be an ineffective leader, but that his leadership failings are due to the extraordinary events that happened during his tenure. The paper suggests that in calmer times, he may well have been an unremarkable, adequate president.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Bush is a poor leader, and his presidency will be remembered for his ineffective handling of Iraq and American civil liberties. He has bungled a war, compromised his people's freedom, and created rifts within his own society. Even if he is not a deliberately treacherous individual, he is a menace to his country. He was not up to the job. It can only be hoped that in the future the Republican Party will forward a smarter, tougher, and more imaginative candidate.
"And yet, there is also the lingering anxiety that George W. Bush was not chosen because he had the capacity to be a strong president. Just like his father's Vice-President, Dan Quayle, Bush does not seem to have been chosen because he would be good at his job. Part of this suspicion is hinged on the bizarre fact that George W. was chosen to succeed his father in campaigning for the presidency. For one thing, George W. was a bad student in school, had a scanty political history, and was generally not much of a man to begin with. On the other hand, brother Jeb Bush is a career politician and regarded as intelligent."

From the Paper
"In his first campaign, Bush made a number of promises, few of which have been kept. First he promised to put Medicare on firm financial ground and make prescription drugs available and affordable for every senior who needs them. Medicare costs have skyrocketed in the meantime and premiums rose greatly this year and a similar hike is expected next year. There is a prescription drug plan but it is confusing to understand, requires an enrollment fee and monthly premiums and only saves a small percentage of the ... "

George W. Bush: A Cultural Icon, 2008.
A strong argument that claims George W. Bush is a cultural icon who has abused his power.
2,111 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 107.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper asserts that George W. Bush is a cultural icon who embodies the positive and negative aspects of American culture. The paper explains why political strategist Karl Rove crafted a public image of Bush as an icon and as a compassionate conservative, pro-life Christian who supports family values, is pro-military and is a tax cutter. The paper contends that this image has been shattered because of his criminal incompetence, reliance upon systematic deceit and abuses of power unparalleled in American political history. The paper includes source material.
From the Paper
"Initially, this strategy of presenting Bush to the American public as an icon was very successful, for conservative voters have always longed for an iconic leader who symbolizes positive American traits and characteristics. President Ronald Reagan fulfilled that longing a generation ago and has been deified ever since by conservatives as the ideal American president. For the same reason, George W. Bush was groomed and marketed to the public during his two terms as governor of Texas as the conservative heir of Ronald Reagan, and that effort continued throughout the early years of Bush's presidency."

Abstract
This paper takes a look the speech made by George Bush at the 59th session of the United Nation's General Assembly held in New York City on September 21, 2004. President Bush addressed 80 heads of states and governments at this General Assembly dressed up somberly and smartly in a crisp white shirt and a navy tie with a tailored suit, using this occasion to make his views known.
From the Paper
"President Bush immediately tried to build a rapport with the audience by welcoming them to his country and UN session. He started his speech by applauding people and UN who stand for liberty. His overall approach to starting a speech was effective and good. Right from the start he tried to build a theme of liberty, justice and freedom and later as he moved on, he addressed many issues with this theme in the background. Through out the speech he used gestures and eye contact to emphasize certain points. Everyone was interested in knowing Bush's stance on the violent situation in Iraq so he had a captive audience that measured and listened to each and every word he uttered."

George W. Bush and His Rise to Power, 2004.
An examination of George W. Bush's sudden rise in popularity following the invasion of Iraq.

Abstract
This paper discusses how, following the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the popularity of President George W. Bush rose to meteoric levels, despite having previously experienced mediocre support from the public. It attempts to explain this sudden surge in popularity by exploring two competing theories. It looks at how the classic "rally around the flag" theory is a viable option, as is the theory that the support of the President during times of national crisis comes about mainly through the selective flow of information through the media and other channels that is biased in favor of the President's policies.
From the Paper
"The U.S. invasion of Iraq happened not long after the September 11,2001 terrorist attacks on America. Patriotic sentiments were already running very high at this time. The United State and its people were feeling a sense of solidarity as never before. We had been attacked as a nation, and there is nothing like an unprovoked attack on a whole nation to draw that nation together as one. All of a sudden, we were no longer individuals who wee American, we were American as a whole. When George W. Bush acted to take retaliatory measures against those who would have done us harm, we were behind him one hundred percent. He acted as a central rallying figure behind whom we could all throw our support to show our solidarity in the eyes of the world."

Abstract
The study provides an analysis of presuppositions and strategic functions in the speech delivered by George W. Bush nine days after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and some other US targets, Sept. 11, 2001. The tension between idealism and pragmatism, the conflict between ?us? and ?them? and some of the ideologies and power relationships in the speech are also explored.
From the Paper
"Taking a great deal for granted and assuming familiarity with the history and current position of the US, bin Laden, al Qaeda and Taliban, ?Islamist? movements and the Arab-Israeli conflict, the present study analyzes presuppositions, salient metaphors and associated roles and strategic functions in this ?historic? speech in an attempt to understand some of the underlying ideologies and implicit claims made by Bush and the self and other representation in the speech. Moreover, the study explores some of the generic features of the speech ? what the speech has in common with other political speeches in general and with American political speeches in particular."

Tartuffe vs. George W. Bush, 2003.

Abstract
This paper explores the similarities and differences between the fictional character of Tartuffe in Moliere's play of the same name, set in 17th century France, and American President George W. Bush. The paper compares their characters as well as the extremes of enthusiastic political beliefs.
From the Paper
"By comparison, many die-hard Republicans felt, and some probably still do feel, the same way about Bush. During the debacle of the presidential election of 2000, even in the face of overwhelming evidence against the fact, these Republicans refused to acknowledge that, according to the numbers, their candidate was not actually winning the election. Even though Al Gore received over 500,000 votes more than Bush, Bush's supporters pulled every trick in the book to get votes re-counted and to get votes thrown out, just to prove that their man, Bush, was the winner. Obviously, they felt that Bush was the only person for President - that there was no question about this."

?1984? and George W. Bush, 2006.
Shows how George W. Bush's political agenda can be compared to Orwell's ideas in his novel, "1984".
1,392 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 3 sources, APA, AU$ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that as President Bush moves to implement what he calls his "mandate," millions of Americans are confused as to why so many people have voted for a leader whose term was rampant with failures and deceptions. The paper argues that one can look to George Orwell's "1984" for some insight on Bush's tactic of perception management.
From the Paper
"While the United States boasts that it is the most democratic nation, today's society is becoming increasing accepting of lack of privacy. Security systems are constantly being installed, and while no government institution monitors these systems consistently, they have access to them if desired. In addition, the police and other agencies can search homes and seize possessions if they feel they have a justified need."
