he has failed at every job he had in the private sector And then he hooked up with these losers: <<< ... Now here we are on the downslope of 2003 and George Bush is learning, way too late for his own good, that the neo-cons have been matchlessly wrong about everything. One can burrow through the archives of historical folly in search of comparisons and still come up empty-handed. The neo-cons told Bush that eviction of Saddam would rearrange the chairs in the Middle East, to America's advantage. Wrong. They told him it would unlock the door to a peaceful settlement in Israel.Wrong. They told him (I'm talking about Wolfowitz's team of mad Straussians at DoD) that there was irrefutable proof of the existence of weapons of mass destruction inside Iraq. Wrong. They told him the prime Iraqi exile group, headed by Ahmad Chalabi, had street cred in Iraq. Wrong. They told him it would be easy to install a US regime in Baghdad and make the place hum quietly along, like Lebanon in the 1950s. Wrong. And of course the neo-cons, who have never forgiven the UN for Resolutions 242 and 338,(bad for Israel) told Bush that he should tell the UN to take its charter and shove it. Bush, who appreciates simple words and simple thoughts, took their advice, and last Sunday night had it served up to him by his speechwriters as crow, which he methodically ate in his 18-minute speech, saying the UN has an important role in Iraq ... >>> counterpunch.org Tom

What the Shrub supporters have to admit...and the record is very clear on this....he has failed at every job he had in the private sector...Harken Oil, etc. The only way this idiot wouldn't be driving a taxi is because he was lucky enough to select his parents...WELL! Merely, look at how he became a millionaire....do you really think that the rich group came to him because of his business acumen to get involved with the Texas Rangers baseball team. AND, even here it was the taxpayer's money that made him rich..and now he is so opposed to taxes... Yes, I know.......he treats the US Treasury like the allowance daddy give him. The worst part about it he's exactly what his supporters want. They put someone into office whom they can control and direct. And of course, we suffer the consequences.
