George T.R. Bush

"A glance through T.R.'s biography makes it clear that, while the forty-third president has little in common with the twenty-sixth when it comes to reining in big business, embracing the environment, or reading and writing in voluminous amounts, he bears a strong resemblance to the angry, increasingly conservative Roosevelt who remained a major national figure well after his Bull Moose presidential run in 1912."

In The New Republic, Michael Currie Schaffer connects George W. Bush and the World War I-era views of Theodore Roosevelt.
