Something I found on the internet.
Quote:
I find it amazing to think that someone thought that this was an
intelligent criticism of George W. Bush to be passed on. The fact that
this sort of "resume" is popular in Democratic circles amply demonstrates
that the Left is *still* misunderestimating George W. Bush - and nothing
could make me happier. Of course, in classic Democratic fashion, this
resume has a real problem with the truth.

Past work experience:
e.. With fathers help (and his name) was elected Governor of Texas.
Accomplishments- Changed pollution laws for power and oil companies and
made Texas the most polluted state in the Union. Replaced Los Angeles with
Houston as the most smog ridden city in America. Cut taxes and bankrupted
the Texas government to the tune of billions in borrowed money. Set record
for most executions by any Governor in American history.
Yeah, Bush so messed things up that he won overwhelming re-election.
f.. Became president after losing the popular vote by over 500,000
votes, with the help of my fathers appointments to the Supreme Court.
This is a lie. Souter voted against Bush and Thomas voted for Bush.
Accomplishments as president--
a.. Attacked and took over two countries.
By what context has the USA "took over" Afghanistan?
b.. Spent the surplus and bankrupted the treasury.
Name the last US President that did not engage in deficit spending.
BTW - Clinton's last budget produced a deficit, so the above is an
outright lie as well.
l.. Cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any
president in US history.
One word: Hoover.
Actually unemployment benefits have been extended repeatedly under Bush.
p.. Signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution
than any president in
US history.
A lie. Not one Constitutional amendment under Bush.
Indeed, considering the record of FDR - attempting to stack the Supreme
Court and rounding up people on the basis of ethnicity for concentration
camps, it is downright embarassing.
u.. Dissolved more international treaties than any president in US
history.
A lie. Not one international treaty has been dissolved by Bush.
v.. My presidency is the most secretive and un-accountable of any in US
history.
One word: Nixon.
w.. 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).
A lie. Rod Paige is poorer than Rice. I believe that Martinez is also.
x.. First president in US history to have all 50 states of the Union
simultaneously go bankrupt.
A lie. Not one US State has declared bankruptcy.
y.. Presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud of any
market in any country in the history of the world.
A lie, the S&L scandal remains bigger.
z.. First president in US history to order a US attack and military
occupation of a sovereign nation.
A lie. Madison, Jackson, Polk, both Roosevelts, Wilson, Kennedy, Johnson,
etc. all did so.
aa.. Created the largest government department bureaucracy in the
history of the United States.
A lie. FDR created more bureuacracies by FAR.
ab.. Set the all-time record for biggest annual budget spending
increases, more than any president in US history.
A lie. FDR's was larger. Indeed, so was Clinton's.
ac.. First president in US history to have the United Nations remove
the US from the human rights commission.
A lie. The US was not removed from the Commission, it failed to win
re-election.
ae.. Removed more checks and balances, and have the least amount of
congressional oversight than any presidential administration in US
history.
A lie. Bush has made no constitutional amendments.
af.. Rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant.
A lie. Bill Clinton attacked Yugoslavia without even *consulting* the
United Nations. Bush received a unanimous resolution from the UNSC.
ag.. Withdrew from the World Court of Law.
A lie. The US is still a member of the World Court, and indeed, even has
a sitting justice on it.
ah.. Refused to allow inspectors access to US prisoners of war and by
default no longer abide by the Geneva Conventions.
A lie. The Geneva Conventions specifically state that they do not apply
to illegal combatants. This is the "carrot and stick" of the Conventions
that encourages countries to only use legal combatants, so as to secure
the protections of the Conventions.
ai.. First president in US history to refuse United Nations election
inspectors (during the 2002 US elections).
A lie. As near as I can tell, it was completely made up.
al.. Spent more money on polls and focus groups than any president in
US history.
Two words: Bill Clinton.
am.. First president in US history to unilaterally attack a sovereign
nation against the will of the United Nations and the world community.
Three words: Bill Clinton Yugoslavia.
an.. First president to run and hide when the US came under attack (and
then lied saying the enemy had the code to Air Force 1)
One word: Madison.
ao.. First US president to establish a secret shadow government.
A lie. The shadow government dates to the Cold War.
ap.. Took the biggest world sympathy for the US after 911, and in less
than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly
the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).
A lie. A majority of established democracies supported the US in Iraq.
On the other hand, the DPRK isn't even supported by China any more (which
recently shut off an oil pipeline to the DPRK.)
aq.. With a policy of 'dis-engagement' created the most hostile
Israeli-Palestine relations in at least 30 years.
A lie. The Al-Aqsa intifada began after Clinton pushed Yasser Arafat
further than he was willing to go at Camp David in the run-up to the 2000
elections.
ar.. Fist US president in history to have a majority of the people of
Europe (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and
stability.
One word: Reagan.
as.. First US president in history to have the people of South Korea
more threatened by the US than their immediate neighbor, North Korea.
A lie. The US has never threatened South Korea.
av.. Failed to fulfill my pledge to get Osama Bin Laden 'dead or
alive'.
A lie. He is still pursuing bin Laden.
aw.. Failed to capture the anthrax killer who tried to murder the
leaders of our country at the United States Capital building. After 18
months I have no leads and zero suspects.
Since when is Tom Daschle a "leader" of this country?
ay.. Removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any
other president in US history.
One word: Manzanar.
az.. In a little over two years created the most divided country in
decades, possibly the most divided the US has ever been since the civil
war.
One word: Vietnam.
And BTW, more Americans supported this war than the first Gulf War.
And oh yes, more people voted for Bush than for Clinton.
ba.. Entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in
less than two years turned every single economic category heading straight
down.
A lie. Inflation is still doing very well.
I'm glad to see that the Clinton-Gore truth squads are still running your
party.
