I dunno, if he could get Hillary Clinton as a running mate he'd win for sure. The Republicans seem scared as hell of her.

RESUME
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 So fricking what he got a DUI....it happens to more people than you would think.
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. Bush has released info regarding this very issue and has not shyed away from it, people have also stepped forward to say he was there.
College:
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average.
I was a cheerleader. So what, he went to a tough school with passing grades and was a cheerleader, at least he had school spirit...
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. Everyone who buys a baseball team is a idiot IMO, but they also usually all have help from state taxes from the people of the state...Being a Brewers fan, I know all to well how that works.
With the help of my father and our friends in the oil
industry(including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected
governor of Texas. Ken Lay didnt lay down his platform for him.
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. Good, Im glad he didnt let the #ers sit and waste tax payer money.....people sit on death row far to long and he didnt let them.
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. Its the way our constitution works, like it or not, it was done correctly.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
I am the first President in U.S. history to enter
office with a criminal record. A dui?? Come on, so what, Clinton had allegatons of rape that were swept under the rug...
I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing
cost of over one billion dollars per week. Only after we had two of our most important landmarks attacked by Islamic fundamentalists.
I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted
the U.S. Treasury. Yes, for tax cuts that were well needed and to set up a war on terror to combat the attackers of 9/11 and to set up homeland security office that was desperately needed. After 9/11 this is to be expected.
I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit
in U.S. history. Fighting two wars against dictators and fundamentalists will do that and both completely justified by the american people and congress at the time.
I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies
filed in any 12-month period. Ill refer to the WTO witht his one which is both Clintons and Bush's fault.
I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a
12-month period. Refer to above statement with jobs being sent overseas.
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. True and that was happening before he was in office and continued after 9-11 and wrong the jobs are actually gaining now and have been for the past few months.
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.
So what they are good prominent business people and made something of themselves, isnt that what america is about?
I set the record for most campaign fundraising trips
by a U.S.President. Nothing illegal about it.
I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for
receiving the mostcorporate campaign donations. Nothing illegal about it.
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.Bush didnt run Enron and had no records to financial details of the company so guilt by association is weak at best here.
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. Same as above.
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 dont justify this and wont try to, but one was for a direct presidential lie while the other is a corporate issue not relating to the president.
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. Dont know details on this, so no response.I imagine your referring to Halliburton?
I appointed more convicted criminals to administration
than any President in U.S. history.. ???Who???and what crimes?
I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the
largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government. Do you know the meaning of the word bureaucracy???Its a word that gets tossed around and people refer to as bad but everything service related in the government is part of a bureaucracy...Homeland security is and was a good idea. Its a new office and will need time to settle in for it to be truely effective, 2 years is a short time to start something so large and expect direct impacts.
I've broken more international treaties than any
President in U.S. history. Weve also had to protect our national security and testing a missle shield is in the national interest of our country as well as our allies.
I am the first President in U.S. history to have the
United Nations remove the U..S. from the Human Rights Commission. So #ing what, the UN also has NK, China, Syria, Lebanon and many other countries in its organization that dont want the US on the commision because we are the only country to actually do anything about human rights.......Dont forget this is the same organization that let Libya chair the commision on human rights.
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. Good, with all the hatred towards america why should our soldiers have to abide by a international court, it goes directly against our constitution and our own juducial system....We dont need some international court headhunting members of our military for anything, we have our own justice system and it has worked fine for over 200 years.
I am the first President in history to refuse United
Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 US. election). The UN is a worthless body that should be junked and they have no right overseeing our elections....We are completely capable of handling our own affairs internally.
I set the record for fewest numbers of press
conferences of any President since the advent of
television. Yeah and your point being???Im not a media junkie???
I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in
any one-year period. Being on vacation as president doesnt happen, it merely means your away from the white house.
After taking off the entire month of August, I
presided over the worst security failure in U.S.
history. Security failures happen....We could say if Clinton had taken OBL when he was offered him we wouldnt of had this problem.
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. We had sympathy at the time because so many internationals were killed in 9/11 and we are hated because we didnt sit back and let terrorists have a open invitation to attack us whenever....we took the game to them.
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. His approval rating in America at the time of the protest I believe your talking about was over 60+ % so what the international community thinks doesnt mean #....we elect our presidents and quite frankly we dont elect them to be liked, we elect them to be steadfast.
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. Against the will of the UN, they passed 1441 unanimously with the context of severe military action if it was not cooperated with.....We didnt go back and get approval ebcause France wouldve veteod because of their ties to the Saddam regime....It was in their national interest to have him there and in ours to have him removed.
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. Not active on this issue.
In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our
reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on
our British friends. From intelligence reports handed to him by members of the intel community, not something he made up off the top of his head.
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. People are afraid of what they dont understand and they dont understand what 9/11 did to many americans.....Maybe they are also mis-informed, after all they arent related to our political atmosphere.
I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical
Bunker Buster," a WMD. Good and he should always be looking for future military advancements. Its in our national interest.
I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring
Osama Bin Laden [sic] to justice. Ill throw this needle over in that haystack, come and tell me when you find it.

I think only one person has come forward so far to say he was actually there.
