  Salem (Oregon) Online History - Bush House
The spacious Bush estate, with its house, barn, outbuildings and gardens, is now operated as a public park and forms the hub and major portion of the historic district.
Bush first acquired the land, it was outside the city limits but as the years passed it became a central portion of the growing City of Salem.
Bush House and Bush Barn, the conservatory, the rose gardens, the winding paths through the tall oak trees, the bubbling creek where the Kalapuya Indians camped and collected camas; today all of this remains as a preserved part of Salem's past.

 CNN.com In-Depth Specials - George Bush - The First 100 Days
Bush was criticized during the first weeks of his administration for not holding an official news conference.
First, Bush aides often want the president to make the news, so there are less leaks like the ones we saw during the Clinton White House, which were designed to focus attention on a story before the president made an announcement.
President Bush, aides say, wants his staff to work hard but efficiently, encouraging his aides to leave during the week at a decent hour and to remain home with their families during the weekends.

 Asahel Bush House Museum
Bush House was a suitable dwelling for such a man and it is fitting that the home over which he lavished so much attention and thought should now serve as a memorial to him.
The mistress of Bush House from the beginning was Miss Sally Bush, second daughter of Asahel Bush II and his wife Eugenia Zieber, whom he had married in 1854.
Bush died of consumption in 1863 leaving her husband with four children: Estelle (1856-1942), Asahel III (1858-1953), Sally (1860-1946) and Eugenia (1862-1932).

 Bush's House of Cards
As bad as the Bush economic record is, it would be far worse if not for the growth of an unsustainable housing bubble through the three and a half years of the Bush Administration.
The housing market has supported the economy both directly--through construction of new homes and purchases of existing homes--and indirectly, by allowing families to borrow against the increased value of their homes.
The housing enthusiasts, led by Alan Greenspan, insist that the run-up is not a bubble, but rather reflects fundamental factors in the demand for housing.

 The New Yorker : fact : content   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Bush has let it be known that he’s not much of a television-news watcher or a newspaper reader, apart from the sports section; and during a conversation with reporters he explained, perhaps without intending to, why his White House often seems indifferent to the press.
Bush’s view of the press is also personal, and was no doubt shaped by the experience of his father, who sometimes invited reporters to chat or to toss horseshoes, often over the objections of his wife.
Bush gets to the office at around six-forty-five each morning, follows an exercise regimen, and keeps meetings short and structured; he cannot disguise his annoyance at reporters who ask follow-up questions or who are not, in his estimation, sufficiently polite; and he grumbles if he’s not in bed by 10 p.m.

 On Point : The House of Bush - 1/29/2004
In his new book "American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush," political commentator and former White House strategist Kevin Phillips takes on the Bush dynasty, and traces four generations of aristocracy, fortune and politics.

House of Bush, House of Saud begins with a politically explosive question: How is it that two days after 9/11, when U.S. air traffic was tightly restricted, 140 Saudis, many immediate kin to Osama Bin Laden, were permitted to leave the country without being questioned by U.S. intelligence?
The answer lies in a hidden relationship that began in the 1970s, when the oil-rich House of Saud began courting American politicians in a bid for military protection, influence, and investment opportunity.
His access to major players is unparalleled and often exclusive -- including executives at the Carlyle Group, the giant investment firm where the House of Bush and the House of Saud each has a major stake.

 House Rejects Bush Administration's Misguided Water Policy: Earthjustice: Environmental Law   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
On May 18, 2006, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 222-198 approving an amendment that would block the use of federal funds to implement an illegal 2003 EPA and Army Corps of Engineers policy of refusing to enforce the Clean Water Act in thousands of creeks, streams, wetlands, ponds, and even rivers across the country.
The 2003 policy essentially instructed the agencies' field staff not to enforce Clean Water Act safeguards over certain waters unless they first called agency headquarters and were granted permission to do so.
Efforts to undermine the authority of the Clean Water Act, which has provided federal safeguards against polluting or destroying the waters of the United States since 1972, represent a dangerous trend that threatens both wildlife habitats and public health.
