Like Reagan's imagemakers, the group that surrounds Bush has a particular talent (and plenty of resources) for conflating some of the heroic/inspiring myths brought out in this thread, with Bush's life story. Arguably they are even better at it than Reagan's people had to be (considering what they've got to work with!).
Rather revealing story about Bush's aircraft carrier appearance:
http://edition.cnn.com/2003/US/05/16/nyt.bumiller/"Media strategists noted afterward that Mr. Sforza and his aides had choreographed every aspect of the event, even down to the members of the Lincoln crew arrayed in coordinated shirt colors over Mr. Bush's right shoulder and the "Mission Accomplished" banner placed to perfectly capture the president and the celebratory two words in a single shot. The speech was specifically timed for what image makers call "magic hour light," which cast a golden glow on Mr. Bush."
