George W Bush Segment 8 Summary
George W Bush; Segment 8
From 2000 to 2008 I was eight to sixteen. Meaning, for the better part of George W Bush’s presidency, I was in too young to fully understand and appreciate everything about politics, like policies or the potential ramification of certain bills. Despite this, I remember liking President Bush. I would become annoyed when news anchors of channels like CNN would criticize him, even without completely understanding the topics. Even now that I’m more involved and have a better understanding politics, I would say I disagree with a good number of President Bush’s policies, but, I still wouldn’t say I dislike him. I still think of him as a kind and honest person. Segment 8 talks a bit about the child like nature of President

But, from what I’ve seen of her, I can’t say I like her much as a person. Segment 10 talks about how well coached she is in body language, to me this is clear in the fact that her smile feels forced and conscious, and her facial management techniques seem obvious. Her general paralanguage patterns don’t sound natural, but rather curated. In her defense, it’s possible that this is as a result of Having to speak a certain way, as to not repel male voters. As mentioned in Segment 23, female politicians have the extra hurdle of addressing the sound of what they say along with what they’re vocally saying. All of these things combined give off a feeling of overly calculated, and at times even dishonest. This is in such a deep contrast to Senator Clinton’s husband, who is show in Segment 12 to be able to publicly execute nonverbal messages very well. It would seem as though he has also been coached on how to convey these message, but the fact that Bill Clinton is better at it; can make him feel like a more honest person. This is, in a way, backed up by Segment 14 and 26. He really isn’t good at nonverbal lying, this leads me to feel that he is being genuine most other

    George W Bush had a very big political background, so it wasn’t surprising when he ran for presidency and won. He was born on July 6, 1946, making him a member of the “baby boom” generation, born after WWII. He was the first born of Barbara Pierce Bush and George Herbert Walker Bush. They nicknamed him ‘Georgie’. He had 5 siblings; Pauline Robinson Bush, John Ellis Bush, Neil Mallon Bush, Marvin Pierce Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush. Although they were wealthy, George HW wanted an adventurous career. Therefore, they moved to West Texas where he accepted a job offer from his friend in an oil corporation. In 1950, the Bushes moved to Midland. There, they contributed so much to the community. Soon, George decided to go into the oil business for himself. Sometimes, he would take Georgie along with him to the old fields. In 1952, the Bush family moved again. Also in 1952, Grandfather Prescott Bush, back in Connecticut, ran for election to the US Senate. Although Texas was fiercely Democratic, George Bush organized a local Republican committee and campaigned enthusiastically for General Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower (Gormley 11).…

    The short story I that I want to analyze is written by Hunter S.Thompson and published on ESPN.com (Thompson, "ESPN.com: Page 2: Fear & Loathing in America"). The source from University of the People’s library is “The Magical Presidency of George W. Bush” by Dan Dervin (Dervin, 2009 #3). Thompson opens the story by combining a fictional and nonfictional account of the death tolls after the attacks on 9/11 and some of the most horrible tragedies in U.S.A’s history (e.g. Pearl Harbor). Furthermore, he emphasizes on the fact that the destruction was not caused by the traditional weaponry, and sarcastically points out to the suspiciously well-executed and easily completed attacks (Thompson, para.1-5).…

    Former president George W Bush is a charismatic jokester who knew when to be serious and a clown at the right times. He was nice to his media crew and cared for them like they were his close friends. For example he gave Alexandra relationship advice. He likes to make fun of himself and enjoys when others joke around with him. George Bush and his media crew seemed to get closer to each other the more time they spent together because they talked about personal issues with each other not just politics and they took a lot of pictures together when they were on the buses and planes. The media even called themselves a ‘ bubble’ because they were so close and they stuck together at most times.…

Normally for boys, if there is a deep feeling of fear of his father , or his father’s size and strength, would lead to his fear of bullies (Frank 2007, 143). For George W. Bush, the powerful heroical image of his father affect him and brought him a “rivalrous and agreesive feelings”, therefore, he tends to mimic his father and become a bully himself.

She was dressed in all black except for her undershirt was teal which made her fade into the background except for her pop of color. She also hunched quite a bit and did not stand as properly or formally as other public speakers I have seen.…
