George H.W. Bush 1992 The Changing of the Guard

Send us a text

In our first episode of our fourteenth season, we open with arguably one of the high points of the George H. W. Bush years. When he opened the 1992 State of the Union address he could legitimately say"The State of our Union is strong", for in the past year, he had vanquished a dictator in the Middle East, and he had managed the collapse of the Communist World without it leading to another World War.
As Robert Gates had said often, the collapse of a major World Empire rarely if ever happens in history without a major War. Bush and his Soviet counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev, had managed to oversea the end of the Cold War without it leading to a hot one.
However, in the meantime, the United States economy had gone into recession and that would be the next big item on President Bush's already historic agenda. The question would become could he get it all turned around in time for the election that was on the horizon in 1992.
