Bush, the 41stPresident of the United States: George H.W. Bush may have been the only person ever elected President of the United States primarily by being nice. I have dozens of handwritten notes from himas do, I suspect, hundreds of Americans. His presidency is increasingly admired for his courage and restraint: for unifying Germany, for making hard decisions that balanced the budget, and for challenging aggression in Kuwait with decisive but measured military action. Alexander served as President Bush's Education Secretary from 1991-1993. ### Lamar Alexander is the senior senator from Tennessee, and he serves as chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development.
