This reminds me of a few years ago. I used to dislike Clinton (while everyone else was praising him) and never like him for his idiotic decisions. But then I realise that no matter how much I would make fun of him or call him names.....at the end of the day he was still president. Now Bush is president and he is now the center of attention. I laugh at all the jokes and the name calling (I think is quite funny) but again at the end of the day......he still the president. Catching my drift?
u know.. i thnk bush thinks the same... but now almost every country in the world hate americans bcoz of that bush of urs, and well u might not care but a lot of ppl do, and 6 years ago or less, americans were luved all over the world coz they were really cool, but now even in china i mean like no offense but a very undeveloped country has millions of ppl who hate americans...
and please PLEASE dont b so closed minded and say 'I dont care what other ppl think' coz man i gotta tell u the world is getting smaller everyday
China? Underdeveloped? It's the country with the highest growth-rate in the world!!
And no - six years ago the whole world didn't love the US, and today not everyone in the world HATES the US. It's propaganda, meant to alienate Americans and Europeans and I refuse to buy into that.
We're all PEOPLE fer petes sake!

over the weekend, i lost a very good friend...over bush
as with any discussion in regards to politics, religions, and politicians the debate became very heated; on his part...
his view is that bush is evil incarnate. and when he utters said word it is filled with venom and hatred for a man who is leader of our country...i have no love for the man, but to consider him in league with Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot and Hussein seemed a bit overly extreme...i asked: has he committed genocide on a scale similar to them.?..he replied: he didn't have to, look at our economy our freedoms...slowly but surely he's taking them away he added.
then i asked: but has he sent out or created a secret police network to monitor our thoughts and words? destroy free thinking, abolish all religions other than what Bush deems appropriate? jailed dissident politicians not in line with his thinking? set up internment camps?
his reply: he's still evil!!! to which he added I was a Bush lover, and in retort i said in defence: Kerry is no better...his policies are questionable, his voting records for laws and decrees are suspect...his services in the military are debatable...his morals are a facade for the benefit of the voters in the midwest...
an hour after all this, it was decided that my friend and I could not see eye to eye on the matter, which more or less lead to our not speaking...
RESUME
GEORGE W. BUSH
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20520
United States
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, has 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, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy
fraud in U.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 inspector's 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 ever 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
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.
PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004!

I like how you mock my comment and then spit this dribble out.
Thanks Omega...I didn't want to waste my time with this one...
oh and I particularly like the part where Tex blames the drop in stock prices on George Bush and not the terrorist attacks. Next time shoot with a loaded gun.

I'm fully aware that he did write it, but it doesn't change the fact that the very day after the terrorists attacks....our stock market got decimated. It was an uphill battle since.
