"Bush league" is a baseball term from the early 20th century. In this expression "bush" refers to the country (an old use from colonial times, referring to land away from the city, which was uncleared). So the "bush league" referred to the teams that played out in the country -- minor league as opposed to the big/major league teams in the cities. Apparently the original expression was not meant as a putdown, but since these teams were staffed by amateurs, not the professional major-leaguers, the expression took on the notion of "unprofessional, amateurish." By 1914 the term was extended to uses beyond baseball.

Originally it referred to sand-lot baseball teams from out in rural areas.
It gradually came to mean something crude or of low quality.
The Bush administration just naturally has inherited the moniker.
