Abstract
As the President of the United-States, Bush has earned a reputation of being a compassionate conservative who shapes policies based on the principles of limited government, personal responsibility, strong families, and local control. As President, Bush will pursue the same common-sense approach and bipartisan spirit as he always has. He has proposed bold initiatives to ensure that America's prosperity has a purpose. He has also addressed in improving the nation's public schools by strengthening local control and insisting on accountability; reducing taxes on all taxpayers, especially for those Americans on the fringes of poverty; strengthening the military with better pay, better planning, and better equipment; saving and strengthening Social Security and Medicare by providing seniors with more options; and ushering in the responsibility era in America. In accepting the Republican Party's nomination for the Presidency post in August 2000, George W. Bush pronounced himself "eager to start on the work ahead", of renewing America's purpose. "If you give me your trust, I will honour it, grant me a mandate, and I will use it. Give me the opportunity to lead this nation, and I will lead," Bush told the American people.
