George W
Hop N Pham
11/20/2014
At the age of 54, became the 43rd president of the United States, George W. Bush, who has qualities of a great leader. Intelligence, cognitive style, effectiveness as a public communicator, organizational capacity, political skill, and policy vision were making a very successful president.
Nobody always get success without failure. George W. Bush had five failures, but his successes were helpful more. There were no successful terrorist attacks on the U.S. homeland after September 11, 2001. The president won the biggest tax cut in American history, so he did just that. The income tax rate cuts returned money to all Americans. The president's emergency plan for AIDS relief.
Bush’s contention that the invasion of Iraq had made the world more secure against terrorism won the national political debate, and he was re-elected with 51 percent. His rapid response to the imminent meltdown of the U.S. financial system may have prevented another Great Depression from beginning in the waning days of his presidency.

    Td Canada Trust competes with the other banks in many various ways. One of the ways that they compete is by offering what other banks do not. A good example of this is how TD offers Sunday banking hours. No other banks have Sunday banking hours; they are all closed except for TD. Another example of this is extended banking hours. This is huge because lots of people get caught up in traffic on their way home, and not only that but people may have to work late and can’t get to the bank in time. Td solved this problem by extending their weekday hours to accommodate. This is an excellent way to compete and puts them way in front of the competition. As you can see this puts them way ahead of the competition, they have a total of 50% more hours than the competition. That is huge! Also another way they compete is by making house calls. They have a special department (mortgage specialists) and they will come to your house and talk to you. This is amazing because the customer does not have to get up and go to the bank, the bank comes to them. This is a huge step in beating out the competition. Next they have added a huge new feature to their banks that put them way in front. TD has opened their banks up to the LGBT group. They welcome all lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender customers. They give them a safe comfortable place for them to do their banking. On top of that they also sponsor the LGBT functions and events. This gives them a big jump on the competition. Not only that but they have also opened up to the diverse culture, black people, brown people, any sorts of people and promotes diversity in the community. They also sponsor diverse events such as, black history in Canadian education, anti-bullying, and anti-discrimination campaigns. Finally this is how TD competes with the other banks, and I would say they have a big jump on the competition.…

    When President Bush first came into office his approval rating was up to 90% in 2001 and it dropped all the way to 25% in 2008. The reason Bush’s approval rating dropped so much is mostly because of the way he handled the war in Iraq and they way he handled the hurricane Katrina efforts. The decision to invade Iraq may be the most controversial moment in Bush’s presidency. The war drastically made the United States weaker and much poorer. The war was predicted to cost around 50-60 billion dollars, but that number is up to 2.2 trillion dollars and still rising because of interest payments. The two main goals for the war in Iraq was to eliminate two things: Al Qaeda and any weapons of mass destruction. Neither of those things could be found in that country. Perhaps the only good thing to come out of that war was the killing of Saddam Hussein. The war also took a toll on the troops. Over 31,000 U.S. soldiers have been wounded in Iraq and the cost of providing medical care to veterans has been doubled because of this, making it difficult to provide for the ones who served. The way bush handled the travesty of hurricane Katrina was highly criticized. The failure of the government to respond effectively to the hurricane was perhaps Bush’s biggest setback as president. Howard Dean, outgoing chairman of the Democratic National Committee says, “Before Katrina, everyone, including America’s friends and enemies, believed if something awful happened in the world, you could call in the Americans and they’d fix it”. The way the government responded in delayed fashion to the hurricane killed that assumption. Kenneth Walsh of U.S. news stated, “Bush seemed slow off the mark as millions of people suffered, and he created a lasting image of isolation when the White House released photos of him, a solitary figure in his cushy seat, looking out a window on Marine One at the hurricane devastation far below”.…

    In George Bush's speech on September 20, 2001, after a major terrorist attack on America, he states that the country will take whatever means necessary to stop terrorists around the world. He makes it clear that all Americans will have to put forth an effort to end terrorism. They would also have to understand that they may have to give up some things in order to gain justice. During the Salem Witch Trials,which took place far before the Bill of Rights were written, the courts believed that by condemning and killing these so called "witches" they were working toward the greater good. They were convinced that they were cleansing the world of evil. If the government finds it necessary to violate people's personal liberties for the betterment…
