GEORGE W. BUSH 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20520
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
LAW ENFORCEMENT
I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.
MILITARY
I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.
COLLEGE
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.
PAST WORK EXPERIENCE
I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry, including Enron CEO Ken Lay, I was elected governor of Texas.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money. I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history. With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT
I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record. I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week. I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history. I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period. I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.
In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.
I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleezza Rice, had a Chevron oil tanker named after her. I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations. My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron.
My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip- offs in history.
I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history. I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts. I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history. I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States' government.
I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history. I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention. I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S . election). I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent of television. I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history. I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.
I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.
I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community. I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families-in-wartime. In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends. I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security. I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden [sic] to justice.
RECORDS AND REFERENCES
All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view. All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. All records or >regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.
I am a member of the Republican Party.

No, but think about how wonderful this Preesident has been and then decide if you really want a Congress that will keep letting him do and not do what it is he do. I mean does.

You forgot his MBA from Harvard and father of two hawt daughters.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
And WHY do these sock puppets ALWAYS have the number 2 after their names?
How are you using the term sock puppet? I have a 2 next to my name, because when I joined and tried to use JohnBoy, it wouldn't let me, so I tried JohnBoy1, and it wouldn't let me, then I tried JohnBoy2, and it let me. I've never seen a JohnBoy or a JohnBoy1 here, though, so you'd have to ask the administrator about that one. Who else is a 2?

"I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury."
Hate to burst your bubble, but check your facts. The economy started dipping in the year 2000. Bush didn't begin his term until 2001.
But your statement doesn't debunk the first. There was a budget surplus when Dubya came in, he said he wanted to give it back to the taxpayer. Then came 2001 and he did it anyway in the midst of blowing up the budget to astronomical proportions. The deficit's never been so big.
First of all, as far as Karl Rove's duping of Dan Rather, you're forgetting one important thing: It wasn't Karl Rove who debunked it. Nope, it was several average American citizens at the website Free Republic. A poster under the name Buckeye along with another poster whose name I've forgotten at the moment made the acute observation that the documents couldn't have been typed using the typewriters at the time. This news spread through the power of blogs, until it eventually led to the declassifying of the documents. The process on which this happened still fascinates me to this very day.
As for the economy, it was already in a deficit when Dubya entered office, meaning that he couldn't have possibly started it.
I'm sick of people calling me Rodney all the time. It could be worse. I could be comparing the victims of the 9/1l to "little Eichmans" like Ward Churchill does. At least I don't fabricate cheap propaganda videos designed to make our troops look bad like Michael Moore does.
And it's not as if I agree with everything that Republicans say, either. I'm just trying to see things from both sides. I realize that George Bush's treatment of homosexuals has not been ideal. There oughtta be a way to get homosexual couples to have the same rights as hetrosexual couples. Howard Dean I think had a novel idea: granting them civil unions. Speaking of Howard Dean, I actually admire the man; he's not afraid to say what he thinks, whereas most Democrats try to hide behind diplomacy. They say that the war in Iraq was a bad idea, but then tell me: why did they vote for it at the time? And when Clinton was president, *he* wanted to invade Iraq. Why the sudden change of heart?
That's all for now. I'm sorry about being so darn controversial on this board.
You insult me, I ignore you. That's how the system works around here.
"And when Clinton was president, *he* wanted to invade Iraq. Why the sudden change of heart?"
He definitely bombed Iraq. The only thing he hit though was an aspirin factory and some camels.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
Karl Rove orchestrated that campaign, and the claim that the typewriters hadn't been invented yet was later proven to be untrue. There is no proof in National Guard records that Bush was present at the time.
"Karl Rove orchestrated that campaign, and the claim that the typewriters hadn't been invented yet was later proven to be untrue."
THAT claim that you just mentioned was later prooven to be untrue as well. It's just that it doesn't get as much media press as the former debunktion. Gee, I wonder why. . .
As for Karl Rove orchrastrating the campaign, I'll believe you once you give me proof.
As for the invading, I'm pretty sure that Dubya didn't mean to kill all those innocents. He was a bit rash, true, but he did what he thought was right.
And that's all I have time for for now. I have to do summer reading assingments now. No, I'm not chickening out. I just have more important things that I have to be doing at the moment.
You insult me, I ignore you. That's how the system works around here.
Sorry, I had no idea that civil unions were second class. I thought that they were marriage in everything but name. And who says that I support Ann Coulter's comments?
And for the last time, my name is Alyssa, not Rodney.
You insult me, I ignore you. That's how the system works around here.
