This e-mail I recieved puts a grim image out there about the leader of America.
I cannot attest to the truthfulness of it, but if only 25% of it is, we really are in trouble.
I welcome any comments and corrections to the letter below. I hope there a many.
George W. Bush Resume
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 US Congress and lost. 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 right-wing 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 US 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 US surplus and effectively bankrupted the US Treasury. I
shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in US 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 US 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 US history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice,
has a Chevron oil tanker named after her (no longer, she was afraid it
might be a target for attack). I set the record for most campaign
fund-raising trips by a US President. I am the all-time US 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 US 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 US history. I changed the
US policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government
contracts. I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than
any President in US 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 US history. I am the first President in US history to have the United
Nations remove the US from the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the
US from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to
US "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 US election). I set the
record for fewest number of press conferences of any President since the
advent of television. I set the 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 US history. I
garnered the most sympathy for the US after the World Trade Center
attacks and less than a year later made the US 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
protest against any person in the history of mankind. I am the first
President in US 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 US 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
war time. In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for
attacking Iraq, 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 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.
