George W. Bush was the President of the United States in the 2000s.
Biography[]
Due to intervention from Wartime powers in the 2000 United States presidential election, the continuum was put in a multi-valued state for several months; in the end, the effects of the interference mostly cancelled each other out, but the wrong candidate won. (PROSE: Head of State [+]Andrew Hickey, Faction Paradox novels (Obverse Books, 2015).)
During the Canisian invasion, when Tannis contacted the White House, the President "welcome[d him] to Earth in a spirit of peace and friendship," but after Tannis demanded his surrender, he opted to try to stall for time. He and the Prime Minister ordered the missile defense systems activated in response to Tannis's threat to destroy London. (WC: Death Comes to Time [+]Colin Meek, BBCi animations (BBCi, 2001-2002).)
Panda's nose was left scratched when George Bush ran over him on a bicycle.
