Presidency of George W. Bush

Anyway, in the first hundred days of his presidency, Bush also barred federal funding for stem cell research and he supported oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

And speaking of environmental policy, the Bush administration announced that it would not abide by the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on carbon emissions.

And that didn't go over well with environmentalists in the US or in all of these green parts of not-America, because they were like, you guys made all the carbon.

To which we said, this is America.

But at any rate, George W. Bush was re-elected and went on to have an extremely controversial second term.

Let's go to the Thought Bubble.

In 2005, several events undermined the public's confidence in the Bush administration.

First, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff was indicted for perjury.
