George H.W. Bush 1992 The Changing of the Guard
Randal Wallace Presents : "George H. W. Bush" a five season look back at his extraordinary life, career, and his single term as President of the United States. A term that saw the high point of American Leadership around the world. In our 14th Season , we will look back at one of the most exciting election years in history. It should have been easier, George Bush had freed the world of Communism and managed the fall of a superpower without having the world fall into violent chaos. A truly remarkable achievement in World History.
At one point George Bush had a 91% approval rating, By the end of 1992, he would lose his reelection bid. This is that story and in it you will see the foundational beginnings of the very "America First", "Make America Great Again" movement that so dominates our politics in 2024 in the form of Donald Trump. We will watch the changing of the guard as the Vietnam Generation leads a campaign in 1992 to transfer power from the generation of leadership that won the Cold War, to those who protested the Vietnam War in the streets of America . In the forefront of that campaign we witness arguably the greatest campaigner to ever set foot on the trail in Arkansas Governor, Bill Clinton.
We invite you to come along with us on a wild ride through the high points and low moments of modern American History, in an effort to show the citizens of today that we are an amazing and resilient nation.

George H.W. Bush 1992 The Changing of the Guard
Episode 225 The LEADERSHIP of GEORGE BUSH (Part 1 ) Keeper of the Flame
Welcome to season 11 of our podcast, the first of three seasons that will examine the life, career, and single term of President George H. W. Bush. His life and political career are full of life lessons and leadership lessons we could all take to heart to help build better everyday lives and help the nation develop the type of leadership in our elected class that we could all be proud to have in charge of our Government. In my opinion, George H.W. Bush was the best President of my adult lifetime and clearly an argument could be made that he was the best one term President in our national history. Only James K. Polk could make an argument to challenge it.
In this first episode we look back at the life of the 41st President, as we start at the end of his life with coverage of his passing on November 30, 2018. We will examine his many accomplishments from several people who served under him, from James Baker, the former Chief of Staff, to several different cabinet and staff members plus members of the media who dealt with him during his term. They will all talk about his many accomplishments, his qualities of leadership, his stressing of the importance of family, and his thoughtful statesmanship as the Communist World collapsed around him and he would have to fight a war in the Middle East, a war that has become the textbook example of how to fight a war and win it.
We will also look back at his war record from World War 2 , as the youngest fighter pilot in the Navy. You will listen in to his oral history as he tells the story of the shooting down of his plane, that killed the other two men in his plane, and landed him in the Pacific Ocean. It is a harrowing tale that will dispel the mythology that this extremely nice man was , as Newsweek once called him , "a wimp." When you listen to this story you will come away knowing he was anything but that description, and his bravery, strength, and lifelong wisdom helped manage the closing days of the Cold War that would end with out firing a shot. Something that had never happened in the history of the civilized world : the fall of a great world power without a catastrophic war to bring it about.
