land using taxpayer money.

Traded Sammy Sosa to the Chicago White Sox.
With my father's help and nearly the same name, was elected Governor of Texas.

I spent the country's surplus and bankrupted the treasury.
I shattered the record for biggest annual deficit in history.
I set economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any
12-month period.
I set an all-time record for the biggest stock market drop in its history.
I am the first president in decades to execute a federal prisoner.
I am the first president in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record and in my first year in office set the all-time record for most vacation days taken by any president.
After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.
I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips of any other President in U.S. history.
In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their jobs.
I cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any President in U.S. history.

I dissolved more international treaties than any president in U.S.
history.
My presidency is the most secretive and unaccountable of any in U.S. history.
Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. (The 'poorest' multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her).
I am the first president in U.S. history to have all 50 states bankrupted at the same time.
I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud of any market in any country in the history of the world.
I created the largest government bureaucracy in the history of the United States and set the all-time record for biggest annual budget spending increases, more than any president in US history, while at the same time proposing tax cuts.
I am the first president in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the elections monitoring board.

I hold the record for most corporate campaign donations.
My biggest lifetime campaign contributor, one of my best friends, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).

I am the first U.S. president to have a majority of the people of Europe (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability.
I set all-time records for the number of administration appointees who violated U.S. law by not selling huge investments in corporations bidding for government contracts.
I failed to get Osama Bin Laden 'dead or alive'.
I failed to capture the anthrax killer who tried to murder the leaders of our country at the United States Capitol building. After 18 months I have no leads and zero suspects.
In a little over two years I created the most divided country in decades.
I entered office with the strongest economy in U.S. history and in less than two years every economic category plunged.

Records and References:

I have at least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving record has been erased and is not available).
I was AWOL from National Guard.
Records from my tenure as governor of Texas are in my father's library, unavailable for public view.
All records of any SEC investigations into my insider trading or bankrupt companies are sealed and unavailable for public view.
All minutes of meetings for any public corporation I served on the board are sealed and unavailable for public view.
Any records or minutes my VP or I attended regarding public energy policy are sealed and unavailable for public review.

For personal references please speak to my daddy or uncle James Baker. They can be reached at their offices of the Carlyle Group for war-profiteering.

For information as to why I am still above 50% approval in the polls, contact the US Media that refuses to discuss any of the above because the truth doesn’t have “legs” – the public does not want to know.

1. Gee, what's not to like?

You left out a few things:



  • I am incapable of watching television and eating pretzels.
  • I ignore any advice from my advisors (Colin Powell) I don't like.

  • I cuddle up with people like Putin.

5. 2 dozen movies via Corp he was on Board - The Hitcher is most famous
Edited on Fri Aug-22-03 01:00 PM by papau
During the 2000 debates, Bush claimed that he's "been standing up to Big Hollywood", but as always in just about all statements from Bush -that is a Bush lie - or did he just forget how his company (partial ownership and on the Board of Directors) made more than 2 dozen really lousy movies by funding them in the 80's. Now does this mean the US media, as Bush railed against the "pervasiveness of violence" in Hollywood in the debates, did not remember the two dozen R-rated movies, including one in which a hitchhiker rips a young woman's body in two - The Hitcher?

It would have been fun to watch a debate in the press reporting on Bush's denial of having anything to do with the movie. But the rules for US Media is that once Bush denies - it never happened.


Much like Bush denies insider trading knowledge even though he was on the board of director's audit committee of a failed oil company and sold 30 days before the bad news went public and 90 days after he learned of the bad news - and the media gives him a pass.

4. pretty good, factual list, papau
But the item

I entered office with the strongest economy in U.S. history and in less than two years every economic category plunged.

Seems a little vague. Does anyone have numbers for unemployment, GDP, trade deficit, budget deficit?

For information as to why I am still above 50% approval in the polls, contact the US Media that refuses to discuss any of the above because the truth doesn’t have “legs” – the public does not want to know.

As far as the media is concerned, they are in charge of current news. Bush has been screwing the country so hard and for so long it just seems like old news.
