Details of the Kennedy family and the Bush family

On January 20, 2005, George W. Bush was sworn in for a second term as President of the United States. Extraordinarily, this is the fifth time that the Bush family has been sworn in at the White House (Bush Sr. was twice elected vice president and once elected president; Bush was twice elected president). Behind these five oaths, a family emerged that dominates the United States - the Bush family. He and his father Bush Sr. have become another "father and son president" in the United States after the Adams father and son. It is unprecedented for them to be re-elected. Now when the Bush family is mentioned, the American media and the public alike use the same word - the Bush dynasty. As a wealthy family that dominates the United States, its great influence is evident. Among the many wealthy families in the United States, only the Kennedy family can rival them. Compared with the ill-fated and declining male members of the Kennedy family, the Bush family, with its prosperous population, is obviously much stronger.

“Money is the mother’s milk of politics.” The Bush family’s political achievements are naturally inseparable from their thick money bags. But because the family's political reputation is so great, no one is now interested or thinks it necessary to find out how much money the Bush family has. People only need to imagine that Bush's great-grandfather was a manufacturing tycoon, and Bush's grandmother came from a family of financial giants. The Bush family's industries have expanded to oil, banking, military enterprises and even sports projects, and they can outline the scale of the Bush family's wealth. A rough outline.

Americans often use the term "clan" to describe the Bush family's internal operations. Four consecutive generations of the Bush family, especially the eldest son of the third generation, have taken it as their own responsibility to expand the family's influence, and they have a sense of "sacrifice themselves for everyone." Of course, there are not always rebels in the family, but the result is that they are either marginalized by the family or "return after losing their way." The current President Bush is a living example. The life path he took after reforming from an adolescent rebel was not much different from his father's life trajectory: attending Yale, making money in business, entering politics, and finally becoming president. The core figure of the Bush family is Bush Sr. Americans believe that Bush grew up under the shadow of his father. When Bush was elected governor of Texas that year, many people said that voters saw his father's favor. If Bush Sr. is the core of the family, Barbara is the soul of the family. Externally, Barbara presented herself as a kind grandmother and won many hearts for the family. Internally, she held great power and trained her children and grandchildren to be obedient. After Bush became president, he still had to follow his mother's rules to get up in the morning and drink coffee with the whole family, and he still suffered from his mother's discipline. In short, the Bush family is like a large magnetic field that firmly "attracts" family members. The Walker family, Bush's grandmother's natal family, still gathers with the Bush family every year even though three generations have passed.

In Texas, the hometown of two generations of presidents. In and around Crawford, where the Bush family ranch is located, and even at intervals on both sides of the highway, there are huge billboards with large portraits of two generations of presidents. Here and now, people have a more personal experience of the Bush dynasty.
