George W. Bush

I'm not really big on email forwards. I've been on email for 11 years now, and I've seen just about every
forward ever created. But I wanted to share this one. There are a few things which even I as a crazy left-wing
liberal don't agree with, but there is some interesting stuff on there. Enjoy!
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 U.S. 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
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 U.S. 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 U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted
the U.S. Treasury.
* I shattered the record for the largest annual
deficit in U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. history. My
"poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron
oil tanker named after her.
* I set the record for most campaign fund-raising
trips by a U.S. President.
* I am the all-time U.S. 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 U.S.
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 U.S. history.
* I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted
criminals to be awarded government contracts.
* I appointed more convicted criminals to
administration than any President in U.S. 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 U.S. history.
* I am the first President in U.S. history to have the
United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights
Commission.
* I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.
* I refused to allow inspector's access to U.S.
"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 U.S.
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 U.S. history.
* I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the
World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later
made the U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S.
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 WMD.
* I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring
Osama Bin Laden [sic] to justice.
