George W. Bush's Resumé
This is old, but so damn frustrating. Some of the "highlights" of W's career:
- Bought an oil company and generated an astounding $3.1 Million debt, sold the company to another Texas oil baron, and then sold it again to dad's Saudi friends and made over $1.5 Million from the sweetheart deal. I sold all my stock just in the nick of time, using insider information, to a wealthy Saudi friend.
- Made Texas the most polluted state in the Union, in 1999.
- Slashed taxes, reduced state revenue to the point of bankruptcy and put the Texas government in debt for billions in borrowed money, the interest for which is now paid for by the Texas taxpayer.
- Set a record for the most executions by any Governor in American history and became famous for publicly mocking Faye Tucker, a Christian female death row inmate, for her passionate clemency plea before she was executed.
- Spent the largest surplus in the history of the country and nearly bankrupted the treasury.
- First year in office set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in US history and continued that practice throughout my term in office.
- Cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any president in US history.
- Appointed more convicted criminals to administration positions than any president in US history.
- Cut healthcare benefits for war veterans while posing on aircraft carriers in a flgiht suit and despite praising the troops at every opportunity.
- Most secretive and unaccountable presidency of any in US history, surpassing the secrecy of the Nixon administration at its darkest moments.
- All-time US (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.
- Failed to fulfill pledge to get Osama Bin Laden 'dead or alive'.
- Passed a Medicare bill that will gut Medicare, sends billions of dollars to campaign contributors (big pharma) and will increase the cost of medical care and prescriptions to the elderly.
- All records of tenure as governor of Texas have been sequestered in fathers library, sealed and unavailable for public view.
