GEORGE W. BUSH and LAURA BUSH Color photo of the Presidential couple outside at the White House, inscribed to Mickey Rooney and his wife Jan! A nice association. Photograph inscribed and signed: "Hi Jan & Mickey -/with very best/wishes/George W Bush", "and with love,/Laura Bush". Color, 8x10. GEORGE W. BUSH, born George Walker Bush in New Haven, Connecticut in 1946, worked on his father's successful 1988 presidential campaign, before assembling the group of partners that purchased the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in 1989. He served as managing general partner of the Texas Rangers until he was elected Governor of Texas on November 8, 1994. Bush, who became the first Governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive four-year terms when he was re-elected in 1998, resigned on December 21, 2000, having been elected 43rd President of the U.S. Reelected on November 2, 2004, Bush is the only U.S. President to be reelected after succeeding a two-term President of the opposing political party. Bush's presidential record includes the Patriot Act and other measures to combat terrorism, his "no child left behind" education reforms, the military initiatives in Iraq and Afghanistan, and major tax cuts. Historians will debate his degree of responsibility for the economic crisis which commenced in the final year of his Presidency. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Southern Methodist University in 1968, LAURA BUSH, born Laura Lane Welch in Midland, Texas in 1946, taught in public schools in Dallas and Houston. In 1973, she earned a Master of Library Science degree from the University of Texas at Austin and worked as a public school librarian in Austin. Laura Welch and George W. Bush were married in 1977. She became First Lady in 2001 when her husband was elected President of the United States. They are the parents of twin daughters Jenna and Barbara. Not as involved in public policy debates as some recent First Ladies, Laura Bush influenced her husband's emphasis on education reform. Entertainment legend Mickey Rooney has been the White House guest of many Presidents, beginning with FDR. He has been married to his wife Jan since 1978. Fine condition.
