He lied and his running of this war has been run like a 3 year old..If Bush was an employee by any major Company they would of fired him long ago. Maybe this is why all Bushs business dealings has been TOTAL FAILURES

Nothing wrong with talking to people you know. It's what happened (and how it alledgedly went down) after Bush became an owner that leaves some folks skeptical about his integrity and honesty. Basically, skeptics contend that Bush and his fellow investors attempted to blackmail the city of Arlington (home of the Texas Rangers) into paying for a new stadium through a sales tax increase by threatening to take the team elsewhere.
"...whether the public interest issue is taxes, size of government, property rights, or public subsidies of private sports ventures, Bush's personal ownership interest in the Texas Rangers baseball team has been wildly at odds with his publicly declared positions on those issues. And ongoing litigation over the Ballpark deal has revealed documents showing that beginning in 1990, the Rangers management--which included Bush as managing general partner--conspired to use the government's power of eminent domain to further its private business interests."
Robert Bryce writing for The Texas Observer
A conspiracy? Or could it simply be that he made some good business and financial decisions. Was Bush an active participant or was he simply the name that opened doors for others? What do you think?
"Bush and his partners hit what can only be described as a towering home run by selling the Texas Rangers to Thomas Hicks for $250 million. Bush [for his $605,000 investment will get] between $10 million and $14 million. [But] they still haven't paid the $7.5 million they owe the city of Arlington."
Robert Bryce writing for the Austin Chronicle
Bush and fellow investors disagree with the city over who should pay the outstanding debt. Each side has their own interpretation of the agreement. So, is Bush willfully refusing to pay a legitimate debt or does he truly believe that he is not legally liable? In other words, is he a liar shirking his responsibilities or a businessman standing by his (his lawyers) interpretation of a legal contract. Which is more important, the letter of the law or the way this whole mess made Bush look during a Presidential election whether he's guilty of wrongdoing or not?
Part II of Who is George W. Bush? delves a little deeper into more recent events - his accomplishments as Governor of Texas and his stand (in his own words and as analyzed by others) on a variety of issues including abortion, religion, foreign affairs, and civil liberties.

Bush owned the Texas Rangers. That was not a failure. His oil businesses are worth in the 100s of millions of dollars that is not a failure. Bush will be remembered as one of the greatest in US history.
You will get your chance the Dem's have already seen 2 major terror plots foiled since they took power. Because of Bush and his policies these were foiled. We will see how well the Dem's do when they are in total control. The Terrorists picked this time because they felt the Dem's were in control of the nation but failed to realize that Law Enforcement falls under the Executive Branch and that is still in Bush's control. So their plot was foiled. We will see after Jan 2009 how the Dem's do in protecting this nation. I hope it is half as good as Bush has because if they do not millions of Americans are going to be dead.

I would hardly say Bush's business dealings have been failures!

At least the man does what he says he will do and has the guts to stand behind his decisions.
That's more than I can say for all those Democratic candidates who stumble over themselves when asked about why they voted for the war.

Even God had idiots surrounding him; only he had the power to cast them out.

His business dealings include his buddies getting rich at the expense of the American people. I'd say that was a success. Only WE pay for it.
