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.

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, 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, may he rest in peace, presided over the largest
corporate
bankruptcy fraud in 0U.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 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


RECORDS AND REFERENCES
All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's
library
sealed and unavailable for public view.

All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my
bankrupt
companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President,
attended
regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for
public
review.

Apart from the fact that they sometimes use the wrong methods to get there point across. Countries such as China, Russia, Venezuela and even Mexico City are run by leftist governments. Why are left-wing politics looked down upon? Is it because they dont like the US?

My son is a Senior Airman, weather forcaster in the Air Force. He is due for re-enlistment in October 06 and would like to continue his enlistment. He and his wife were recently blessed with twin daughters but because of the difficulty of multiple births he missed submitting part of his paperwork for re-enlistment by the required date and now is told that he may not be able to re-enlist. He has won numerous awards during his military service and just passed his test for Staff Sargeant. It would be a terrible waste to not allow such an fine young man to continue his military career. Any suggestions to help him with this process would be greatly appreciated.

My fellow Americans, as all you may know, China and India have the greatest potential amongst all the other nations of achieving superpower within the 21st century as they both are economic giants. If you were to choose between the two for superpower - aside from the US, which one would it be and why.
I say India because it is a democratic nation (which is what we are also), it does have a large English speaking middle-class, and it is our ally.
Just my opinion...

THE WAR?

"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent. In such quantities, these chemical agents could also kill untold thousands. He's not accounted for these materials. He has given no evidence that he has destroyed them.

U.S. intelligence indicates that Saddam Hussein had upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents. Inspectors recently turned up 16 of them -- despite Iraq's recent declaration denying their existence. Saddam Hussein has not accounted for the remaining 29,984 of these prohibited munitions. He's given no evidence that he has destroyed them. "

It's Perfect Elaine as the VP would carry the female vote. Also coming from the Secretary of Labor position many Blues would think she was pro working class.
