George H.W. Bush inaugural address: Jan. 20, 1989
George H.W. Bush used his inaugural address to discuss the drug problem in America, likening cocaine to a deadly bacteria that has hurt the body and soul of the country. He was was sworn into office on January 20, 1989.

This is a real American President. The first President I was really aware of when I was growing up. A dignified and intellectual figure. I hope America can get back to this style of leadership.
Back days when democratic and republicans respect each other on the stage right after campaign.

I have a soft spot with great respect towards him and his family despite being more of a Democrat, and blessed to have met his granddaughter Barbara Pierce Bush in Atlanta earlier in the year and what a golden memorable moment meeting her. I always remember how President GH W Bush or Bush Senior visited my Alma mater Birmingham-Southern in 1989 May for something for an Environmental Act. I pray my Alma mater stays with crisis currently going on financially.

Curious George. Ronald Mcdonald. When Kennedy was took out the very next president began the start of the finish. In that year, Nation vs Nation was an antique dilemma that transitioned into Good VS Evil literally. Kennedy gave a speech that predicted events far into his future both covertly and in today 2024, Arrogantly and Overtly. In our schools, our stores, our neighborhoods, our workplaces and overall in our faces! Signs & Symbols rule the world not words or laws. Confucius.

He's trying to sound folksy like Reagan. He fails, and sounds like a bad parody of Reagan. And he says nothing at all about the obvious most-important change which was already well-underway and ongoing: the computerization and digitization of everything, and the incipient resulting biotech revolution. I can remember now why I voted for Mike Dukakis. He understood technology and he was realistic. His campaign slogan was "we will need to make some hard choices". (Bush even uses that phrase, no doubt with Dukakis in mind.) In contrast, Bush's slogan was "Read my lips: no new taxes!" We all remember how THAT turned out....
