THERE is something wrong with GW reportedly being worth 20 or so million. The most appropriate question is is what is his father's net worth? Never see this reported by magazines or what not. The Saudi's, GH Bush's closest friends and associates, have net worths over the billion mark, with some 7-10 % stake in this country's economy. I would like to know what GH Bush's total net worth is, this would be an accurate picture of GW Bush's total wealth, not to mention Jeb. This is why president's should not be this close to big business. A lot of what has happened in the the last 30 years, our dependence on oil, has very close ties to this family. Someone needs to disclose this important detail.

I think the problem is, is that our politicians are too close to big business. Our first and foremost responsibility to ourselves and the world, as an example of democracy, is to act like a democracy, but more than act, but represent a true democractic state. With our capitalistic interests at heart first, and along with that big business, you have people serving themselves in public office and big businsess. The problem with George W Bush being reported to have a net worth of 20 million is that this is not altogether true, and people are under the assumption, for some reason, that George H and George W are somehow seperate. These are people with a lot of power, influence and mostly on the world stage. It was always fair for the rest of the world to assume Iraq was all about oil because a lot of foreign policy centers itself around the influence of our leaders within the world community. Is business synonymous with democracy, or do leaders like this betray the true ideals.

"According to the U.S. Treasury Department, America's first 42 Presidents, from George Washington (1789) to Bill Clinton (2000), borrowed a combined total of $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions. From 2000 to 2006, the Bush White House has borrowed $1.05 trillion alone. Yes, that means we have borrowed in the last 5 years what we had previously borrowed in the first 211 years of our country."

GHW Bush's financials are public for the years he was in office. Jeb's are public now, as he's in office now. This is the same way you saw the current President's & can see just about any politician's, because they're private tax returns are published for you to look at. Why don't you do a couple searches & find out. Check on the Clinton's while you're at it, & Jimmy Carter who said he was a poor farmer when he ran for office & lives pretty well jetting around the world now. i don't know your answer off hand, but go search around a bit & you'll find it just fine.

GW Bush has failed, at every business venture that he has been involved in, since he graduated Yale. A school he didn't nearly have the grades to get into, by the way. If it wasn't for his fathers, rich foreign oil connections, that continually bailed him out, monetarily. In exchange for his access, to his his father, something I actually herd him admit to, in a television interview. GH Bush has accumulated a huge fortune. He had complete access to all kinds of privileged information, as head of the CIA. He used that information, to make huge sums of money, in foreign markets. Today know one is closer to the royal Saudi family, than the Bush family is.
Can you say Indiscretion.

The Saudi's donated 4 million dollars to the Clinton Presidential Library.....because they are such a nice Royal Family! If you can find the time, do some research on Billy's connection to the Saudi Royal Family. A cracklin good yarn!

all presidents,congress people and many elected officials have to give annual reports of thier holdings, thier incomes and the such.
There is no way to even run for national office unless you are fairly rich. To run for president you would have to be a millionare many times over

Wouldn't you prefer a president who has ties to the economy? He or she hurts just as badly as everyone else as a result of their actions. Besides: President's have an exceptionally limited ability to impact economies. It's all about capitalism.

"W" is worth about as much as a handful of wet toilet paper.
As for the value of his estate, it is not important, how he got it is but we will never know that.
