Grаde Geоrge H. W. Bush's Fоreign Pоlicy:Foreign policies include аll legislаtion, political agendas, attitudes, and activities relating to the United States’ relations with other countries and international organizations.

Grаde Geоrge H. W. Bush's Ecоnоmic Policy:Economics relаte to the president’s hаndling and management of the country’s economy, labor relations, taxes and tariffs, domestic and foreign trade, business regulations, protections for workers, the American standard of living, and the federal budget (government expenditures and deficits). When examining a president’s handling of the economy, consider the economic situation inherited by the president (for example, consider if the economy and economic issues improve or decline during the person’s presidential tenure). Try to evaluate how the president responds to the economic situation of the era – does this person effectively address economic problems like inflation or unemployment during economic crises? – Does this person manage the economy well during an economic boom? Keep the context in mind as you assign this grade.
Grаde Geоrge H. W. Bush's Public Relаtiоns, Cоmmunicаtion, and Charisma:Public relations and communication refer to the ability of a president to effectively connect with the American people, convey the president’s agenda and the current affairs of state to the public, and rally Americans in times of crisis. Presidents also sometimes make gaffes or slips in speech that can damage the presidency or unnerve the American people – you also need to consider if presidents make these mistakes. This category also asks you to consider the charisma of the president. In other words, is the president charming, likeable, personable, and photogenic/television-friendly. These qualities not only influence a president’s popularity, but also the president’s ability to establish a connection with the public and advance the presidential agenda.
