23. Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (the 'poorest' multi-millionaire, Condoleeza Rice has an Exxon oil tanker named after her). OH NO, A CABINET FULL OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE! Bush's selections for treasury (Snow and O'neill) while technically "successful" people, had lackluster records as corp leaders. Snow especially was the overcompensated executive in charge at a railroad company in the 70s. NOTHING like Clinton's choices for the financial posts (Rubin, Tyson etc) who were considered truly talented in their fields. Bush just picked any old crony he could find from the republican usual suspects. And the economy reflects it.

"AT LEAST HE KILLED NO ONE, UNLIKE TED KENNEDY." Kennedy killed someone? DOCUMENTATION? Was he convicted? "THERE IS NO PROOF THAT HE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CONTROVERSIAL EMINENT DOMAIN DECISIONS MADE BY THE CITY TO BUILD THE NEW STADIUM" Wake up and smell the coffee, he's a Bush for cryin out loud, why did they bring him into the organization in the first place? "Set record for most executions by any Governor in American history. IF SO, WERE THEY DULY CONVICTED?" What does it matter, they're dead now....and no doubt some were innocent based on experience around the country. And ole hangem high W doesn't have a reputation of going the extra yard... "FDR AND TRUMAN ATTACKED AND TOOK OVER MANY MORE COUNTRIES. SORRY THAT DUBYA IS RUNNING BEHIND." The other guys attacked countries that could fight back...W likes turkey shoots or "cakewalks", that's why NK is safe. But watch out Syria...or Bangladesh... "THE STOCK MARKET TANKED BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED." Correction, the stock market started to tank before he was elected.....it has really tanked since he was elected... " IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THEY WERE WORKING VACATIONS" If his workdays are any indication (in bed by 10 PM), his vacations must be really strenuous... " HOW MANY PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOBS IN FDR'S FIRST TWO YEARS IN OFFICE?" FDR had a depression to deal with, Jr. has a growing economy and was given a budget surplus of 300B "Appointed more convicted criminals to administration positions than any president in US history. DOCUMENTATION?" Just one is bad enough....John Poindexter to run the "spy on your citizens" project... " Set the record for the least amount of press conferences than any president since the advent of television. GOOD FOR HIM." No, bad for him...he doesn't hold news conferences cause he cant' think on his feet and he can't speak off the cuff without screwing up.... "WE DID NOT UNILATERALLY ATTACK A SOVEREIGN NATION. WE HAD MORE THAN 3 DOZEN ALLIES AT THE TIME." Name them without laughing your ass off....we are now an imperialist nation..... "made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history). MORE THAN ISRAEL? PROVE IT" Bush is the most hated man in the world....per the polls Israel has some friends.... Name a country whose population likes us....oh and then prove it... "THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF PEOPLE SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT." The majority support the war since it started, Jr. approval, is about 72%, but in the Marist poll only 40% said they will vote for him.....
