Happy Birthday: George W. Bush

Happy Birthday president George W. Bush

Born: July 6, 1946 in New Haven, Connecticut, USA

The 43rd President of the United States of America, George Walker Bush (known colloquially as “W” to distinguish himself from his father, George Bush, the 41st president of the U.S.), was born two days after the national holiday of the Fourth of July, 1946 in New Haven, Connecticut where his father was attending Yale College in the Class of 1949. His mother was Barbara Bush (the former Barbara Pierce), whom his father had married on January 6, 1945. “W” was their first child named after his father. Bush disliked being called “Junior” or Bush II, or even having the term “Jr.” abbreviated next to his name.
