Sadly, we've already seen what one Silver Spoon fed pretender can do to the well being of the nation:
(Former Harvard Prof. of Bush), Tsurumi—now a professor of international business at Baruch College in the City University of New York—said he remembers the future president as scoring in the bottom 10 percent of students in the class.
Thirty years after teaching the class, Tsurumi said the twenty-something Bush’s statements and behavior—“always very shallowâ€â€”still stand out in his mind.
“Whenever [Bush] just bumped into me, he had some flippant statement to make,†said Tsurumi when reached at his home in Scarsdale, N.Y. “The comments he made were revealing of his prejudice.â€
The White House did not reply to requests for comment on Bush’s time at HBS.
Tsurumi said he particularly recalls Bush’s right-wing extremism at the time, which he said was reflected in off-hand comments equating the New Deal of the 1930s with socialism and the corporation-regulating Securities and Exchange Commission with “an enemy of capitalism.â€
“I vividly remember that he made a comment saying that people are poor because they’re lazy,†Tsurumi said.
Tsurumi also said Bush displayed a sense of arrogance about his prominent family, including his father, former U.S. President George H.W. Bush.
“[George W. Bush] didn’t stand out as the most promising student, but...he made it sure we understood how well he was connected,†Tsurumi said. “He wasn’t bashful about how he was being pushed upward by Dad’s connections.â€
Tsurumi said that the younger Bush boasted that his father’s political string-pulling had gotten him to the top of the waiting list for the Texas National Guard instead of serving in Vietnam. When other students were frantically scrambling for summer jobs, Tsurumi said, Bush explained that he was planning instead for a visit to his father in Beijing, where the senior Bush was serving at the time as the special U.S. envoy to China."
Bush graduated near the bottom of his class as well.
