Resume of George W. Bush (some serious reading)
Got this in an email and was requested to pass it on.

RESUME OF 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.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE

-I was a cheerleader.

--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.
--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 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 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 U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, had 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 inspectors 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 have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families-in-wartime.

--I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD.
--I have redefined the Pure Water Act to allow increased quantities of mercury, arsenic, and other toxins in drinking water.
--I have allowed road building, logging, mining and drilling on public lands entrusted to my stewardship by all the presidents since Teddy Roosevelt.
--I have the worst environmental protection record of any President in American history.
--I erased the barrier between church and state by providing financial support to Christian churches and withdrawing funding for stem cell research.
--I exposed an undercover CIA agent to the press in order to punish her husband who disagreed with my justification on invading Iraq.
--I successfully placed incompetant political cronies in every position of authority in government including but not limited to: CIA Dir., Sec. of Def., Dir. of Homeland Sec., FEMA Dir., and Sec. of State.
--I have never vetoed a bill from Congress, but have annotated over 120 Bills with my signature that these laws do not apply to me as President of the United States.
--I have suspended Americans civil rights to allow warrentless wire tapping, data mining, bank record searches, and other surveillance that Americans don't even know about.
--I have established secret prisons in foreign countries and redefined torture.
--I have violated the Geneva Convention by imprisoning, torturing and denying due process to hundreds of "detainees" in Cuba.
--I rejected my General's plans for troop strength, military hardware shortages, and strategies for reconstruction of post- war Iraq, and fired any General who disagreed with me.
--I allowed the award of hundreds of billions of dollars in no-bid contracts to companies that my Vice President is connected to and failed to hold them accountable for defaulting on those contracts.
--I edited, classified, destroyed, or discredited any scientific research that did not support my policies including but not limited to issues of: global warming, stem cell research, numbers of civilian casualties in Iraq, impact of troops in Iraq on the grouth of terrorism.
--I have failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES

"-I have never vetoed a bill from Congress, but have annotated over 120 Bills with my signature that these laws do not apply to me as President of the United States."

1 veto and close to 800 signing statements by now.

i don't think his bona fides (or lack thereof) have any meaning, since he cannot serve another term . . . not that this would have made any difference to the koolaid drinkers, anyway. i have to admit that i still shake my head over ANYONE thinking he had the qualifications to be dog catcher, let alone president.
