George W. Bush vs. Woodrow Wilson

[J.R. Brown]

• Wilson was a Democrat. Bush is a Republican.
• Wilson thought big business was evil. Bush is like McKinley.
• Wilson raised taxes. Bush lowered them.
• Wilson was born in the south and moved to the northeast. Bush was born in the northeast, and moved to the south.
• Wilson re-election campaign theme: he kept us out of war. Bush re-election campaign theme: he led us through war.
• Wilson is responsible for the modern estate tax. Bush is hardly a big supporter, having temporarily abolished it beginning for the year 2010—he's now pushing for full repeal.
• Wilson pushed for the League of Nations. Bush formed a 'Coalition of the Willing' and sidestepped the UN Security Counsil on final authorization of Gulf War II, as international outcry ensued.
• Wilson instituted segregation in the federal government for the first time since Abraham Lincoln. George W. Bush's cabinet included the largest number of minorities in American history.
• Wilson thought drug dealers were freedom fighters. Bush supports the war on drugs.

Etc, etc...

I think their foreign policy's are pretty similar. Otherwise they are pretty opposite.

[J.R. Brown]

- Bush and Wilson were both southern governors (yes, Wilson was governor of New Jersey, but he was from Virginia and retained a southern viewpoint)

Wasn't Bush born in Connecticut?
