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
US 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 selected
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. I set the record for most campaign
fundraising 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 US 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 US 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 inspector's
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 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 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 protests against
any person in the history of mankind. I
am the first President in US history to order an unprovoked, preemptive 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 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 MD. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to
bring Osama Bin Laden to justice.

my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and

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,
