George H. W. "Mad Dog" Bush was the 41st President of the United States. He saved Kuwait from despotic monarchy, although he admitted to lacking in the "vision" department.
Prior to his presidency, he was Ronald Reagan's vice-president for eight years, ran the CIA, and, unlike his boy, was an actual fighter pilot.
During his time in government, the checkout scanner/UPC bar code system was widely implemented, but no one told him in an elaborate practical joke to make him look clueless while running for re-election in 1992 against the upstart hillbilly, Bill Clinton, who went on to win, using the slogan "It's ... Stupid!"

Fun facts
Saddam Hussein had Bush's likeness mosaiced onto floors so that he could walk on his face. Unfortunately, his name was misspelled, resulting in the insult being directed towards "Georg Bush", an innocent goatherd in the Caucasus Mountains, who has had a steady run of bad luck since 1994.
