A Quote by Mark McKinnon
Mention the name George W. Bush in mixed company, and you're likely to spark a lot of debate and emotion - hot and cold, good and bad. Not a lot of neutral reaction. He was elected in the most controversial contest in American electoral history and governed during one of the most tumultuous decades.

In the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore got more votes than George W. Bush, but still lost the election.

There's been a lot of talk about how bad the reporting was, particularly with the George W. Bush Administration after 9/11.

The way Americans most understand the history of Latinos in this country, a lot of it is being told now through the lens of what's happening with the immigration debate.
