Would you hire this guy with this resume?

RESUME

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'slicense 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," Condoleeza Rice, has 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 inspector's 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 ever 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 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 minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President,
attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and
unavailable for public review.

Eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet air intakes.

The question remains: Are you going to hire this guy? ;b

The only lines I have ever seen were at the grocery to buy food... so I always use those automated scanner machines...if that is what you are talking about. I do come form a small town of 166,000 though. Maybe in the bigger cities it's bad. W leads the polls in our state by 7 percent as of Friday so i guess we'll have to see how it pans out in Nov.

No actually i'm talking about the rural areas. Was on TV just a short time ago. Lines 5 blocks long with women, men and children all waiting for "Govt. surplus" food to feed their kids. Most without jobs and many homeless.

What would Kerry's look like?
Voted for war in Iraq.
But, then voted against giving us having updated body armor (which is just sitting on a shelf).
Voted against new armor for the HMMWV.
Guess the operations failure was more important than our safety.

So you are saying that Bush had updated armor made for you guys and put it on a shelf instead of just handing it out? Why is that anyone elses fault?

Are you saying that the "war" in Iraq is a success? And it is all due to the armor?

No, I'm saying that The new body armor was already developed. Limited numbers were made by the manufacture and the Military sent it out to the units to let the soldiers test it in training. Everyone loved it. Then when we went to the 'stan and iraq, Congress voted against purchasing the armor. Bush has nothing to do with purchasing military equipment. And the military can't purchase equipment without Congress.
It is my personel opinion the the Democratic party is trying to make the Iraq and Afgan look like failures as much as possible for the election

Russian intel has proved iraq moved WMD's to Syria and they had 10 years to bury the stuff.

Remember, after Desert storm when the whole Arab world, minus Saddam, liked us? It was Clinton's diplomacy that turned the Arab world against us. 9-11 was planned years before Bush even considered running.

I wouldn't call Iraq a success, But, what do you expect? Arab's hate non-arab's and that will never change. They may stop to thank us for a moment. But, they still hate us.

Bottom line is, there's no way I would vote for Kerry. Call it the lesser of to evil's if you want. But, after 17 years of service, I know life in the Army under a Dem. President sucks and life in the Army under a Rep. president is good. Everyone else has their own reasons for who they vote for. I won't try to change their mind if they don't try to change mine.

No offense, but do you honestly think John Kerry winning the election would make a significant change to just about anything currently going on in the nation's capital? Maybe in a perfect democracy. His record isn't paved with gold either. He's shown repeatedly that he can't take a definitive stand on anything other than 527 ads. So it's really a wishy-washy candidate versus a prez that can't pronounce "nuclear"...ugh.

Even if/when he wins...He'll have the same problems the current prez does...partisan politics are the worse they've ever been. You've got special interest groups wagging media-war on both parties, and lining each senator and congress-persons' pockets with special interest money. Nothing gets done without one side eventually compromising the intent of their lawmaking to the other. It'd take two terms to get ONE thing accomplished. Most presidents spend the entire first term finding and plotting ways to come back again..not making policy decisions.

The war in Iraq is currently a lose-lose situation for whomever ends up in the oval office. Neither candidate has a clear vision of what needs to happen, and both have had their military credibility called into question recently, which affects voter turnout from those branches of service.

I don't think it really matters WHO is sitting in the oval office at this point. At least not until our elected officials actually start voting along the lines we actually VOTED them in for!

;i Agreed

What $uck$ is, the government is run by people who are, for the most part, either far left or far right. The majority of the country is right down the middle and agree with opinions from both sides. Unfortunatly, we are forced to make a decision between the two parties, and have to lean to one side and sacrafice some of our own opinions. So, the best we can hope for is to always have one party in the cabinate and the other the majority in congress so they balance out.

Then maybe we should try and make changes all the through the pile of crap called the Whitehouse. I personally am SO p*ssed off and ashamed of the way things are done in America. Why do we all continue to support ANY of these losers? Funny part is, I'm not "for" Kerry either. I think he to will be much like all the others. I just bring forward stuff like this so we can all see it. All the "info" on that "resume" is accurate. That being said, how can I or you condone it? Is it ok to just say "well they are all crooks" and that makes it ok? I'm sorry, I was brought up better than that. It is NOT ok to send money, food and clothing to ANY nation while we have Americans starving, homeless and living in poverty. Say it anyway you want, back whoever you want, but again, I ask you "would you hire a guy with that resume"? Yep, Kerry "might" be as bad as Bush, but we already know how bad Bush has screwed up. Why re-elect him? If you were denied a job because you "might be the same as the guy before you" you would fight like hell. Do the same for your country. Quit saying "but" "if" "maybe" and go with the facts. If he were the "president" of any other country, the US would be trying to "depose" him or try him for war crimes. This is NOT about Kerry. This IS about America and the people that live here. We CAN change the way things are done...but NOT by repeating them and continuing to elect or re-elect losers. Move on. Admit we made a mistake and try and do the most we can to fix it. It is our JOBS as americans.

Believe me, I'm not "for" either presidential candidate as of this moment. I don't condone the actions of either candidate right now...I dislike both of them equally.

Like you, I'm completely at a loss trying to understand, let alone participate, in today's politics. According to CNN some 70% of the nation will go the polls on election day and decide as they're walking in the front door. Did that latest commercial during Monday night football sway their vote? You can BET it had an impact. So "we" as the ignorant public elect "losers". I have to say I think we did that with Bush...but I don't think Gore would've held up the scrutiny of the office any easier...I think he would've folded like a card table. Those are "if's" though.

You're right on many of your points. I firmly believe that we also shouldn't be sending ALL of our money to foreign dependents. However, long ago the United States made it clear it was going to police and feed the world, even though there are other superpowers who could CLEARLY do it. I don't think we should disillusion ourselves from the position we play in world politics though. We CAN provide for the whole world...I think, we just mismanage it SO bad that we're canibalising our own citizens in the process. We take a LOT of our everyday lives for granted, having been to a couple of those 3rd world countries myself.

I'd be willing to bet that most of us haven't taken the initiative to get involved in the daily politics of the nation, no matter how futile those efforts. I have to drive to DC everyday, and I'm not talking about the laughable "protests" that just make every Northern Virginian's, Marylander's and DC resident's daily life a nightmare.

When was the last time any of us actually went to a public forum involving our current leaders, let alone our candidates?

I've met my congressman and my delegate to the state assembly. I've voiced my opinion at least, even though I knew it probably wouldn't sway them from their appointed party line. I've actually found an invitation to a congressional session in my mailbox before because I decided to write my senator on a issue that affected me. It was hand written, so at least I know an aide took 5 minutes time to read it. Hell, it might've even made it into his hands. I went and was bored as hell sitting in the gallery of the Capital building.

One of the state assembly candidates, who eventually won, made the rounds on FOOT to 60% (so he said) of the population of his constituancy area. He let me know how he stood, and I asked him questions. We eventually ended up sitting on my front porch sharing a few Pepsi's. He actually enjoyed the dialogue, mostly because we agreed on many of the issues. Even on the issues we didn't see equally, he still listened and argued points. He was surprised someone in his mid-twenties actually knew who he was, let alone had some issues with the way the state was moving.

Unfortunately, all politics are "if's"...it has been for awhile. You can either whine about it, or get involved.

fepony...this will be my last post regarding this.

Those are some awefully bold statements on your part if they are all from you. Sounds a lot like the rhetoric CNN spews out on a regular basis.

Who was the last president of the US that did anything to help the Americans you mentioned above Clinton? The only American he fed while in office was Monica...and we all know how that turned out.

How many starving, homeless and living in poverty did you help with your Tax Credit check you received a few years ago...or did you spend it on mods like a lot of people.

God Bless America

I got no check. I am disabled and live on a fixed income. I save for what few mods i have... and you are right...there wasn't enough help given to the people by ANY of the presidents so far. We need to change that.
