What is Bush Jr.'s Skeleton Closet?
85223
George Bush likes to present himself as a straight-talking, regular guy. But it's an act -- regular guys don't go to Andover Prep, Yale and Harvard Business School, and straight-talking guys don't pretend to be regular guys after growing up in one of the most privileged homes in world history. Not only was Bush's dad president, his grandpa was a U.S. Senator and wealthy Wall Street banker, and his mom's blueblood family owned (among other things) the estate in Maine that Bush still hangs out at. \n\nNow, as Bush's regular guy act is wearing thin, some of his other deceptions are becoming more obvious. \n\nClick on the allegation of your choice: \n\n\n-- His top aides exposed an undercover CIA agent to silence critics \n\n-- Lies, deception and coverups to push the war in Iraq \n\n-- Convicted of drunk driving. Lied repeatedly to cover up his arrest. \n\n-- Lying under oath. Bush & staff stop investigation of contributor's huge funeral home company. \n\n-- Avoided Vietnam and Skipped Out on his National Guard Service \n\n-- Texas government corruption: State $$ for campaign funders & business cronies \n\n-- Cocaine: felony drug use, vile hypocrisy, and a hushed up arrest? \n\n-- His "young and irresponsible" behavior: sex, drugs and (gasp!) rock and roll? \n\n-- Thin skinned: censors his critics with police, lawyers, $$$ \n\n-- Character: Spoiled rich kid living off his family's name and reputation \n\n-- Made millions on insider business deals, for little work\n-- -- Deal #1. Personal Profits from Failing Oil Companies\n-- -- -- -- Easy Money From Odd Sources\n-- -- -- -- A Surprise Deal From Bahrain\n-- -- -- -- Access to the President and National Security Adviser for his foreign business partner\n-- -- Deal #2. Selling Oil Stocks Just Before Iraq Invaded: lucky guess or illegal insider trading?\n-- -- Deal #3. A Big Slice of a Baseball Team \n-- -- -- -- Hypocrisy: using government coercion to make his private fortune \n\n-- Quotes \n\n-- Sources \n\n\nQuotes\n"I've been to war [sic]. I've raised twins. If I had a choice, I'd rather go to war." -- Bush, flat out lying in 2002. \n\n"One of the interesting initiatives we've taken in Washington, D.C., is we've got these vampire-busting devices. A vampire is a—a cell deal you can plug in the wall to charge your cell phone."—Denver, CO. Aug. 14, 2001 \n\n"Well, it's an unimaginable honor to be the president during the Fourth of July of this country. It means what these words say, for starters. The great inalienable rights of our country. We're blessed with such values in America. And I--it's--I'm a proud man to be the nation based upon such wonderful values."--Visiting the Jefferson Memorial, Washington, D.C., July 2, 2001 \n\n"We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease."--After meeting with the leaders of the European Union, Gothenburg, Sweden, June 14, 2001 \n\n"It's very important for folks to understand that when there's more trade, there's more commerce."--Quebec City, Canada, April 21, 2001 \n\n\n"I've coined new words, like, misunderstanding and Hispanically."—Radio-Television Correspondents Association dinner, Washington, D.C., March 29, 2001 \n\n"I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well."—Washington, D.C., Jan. 29, 2001 \n\n"Then I went for a run with the other dog and just walked. And I started thinking about a lot of things. I was able to—I can't remember what it was. Oh, the inaugural speech, started thinking through that."—Pre-inaugural interview with U.S. News & World Report, Jan. 22, 2001 issue \n\n"Redefining the role of the United States from enablers to keep the peace to enablers to keep the peace from peacekeepers is going to be an assignment.&qu

Interesting, but I think the truth lies closer to reality that he wanted to stay in the closet, repuglicans do not like to be outed,as repuglicans are not very tolerant of Gay's. When is the last time that Dick Cheney mentioned his daughter in a political speech. Probably about the twelfth of never.

The Bush administration is easy to understand.  They are doing exactly what they set out to do--line their own pockets and make life good for them.  When it was first announced that George Jr. was running, I told everyone: "If he is elected, within 2 years we will be in a war with Iraq, we will have a deficit again and unemployment will soar".  No great prophecy there, anyone with common sense knew it was bound to happen.\n   The supporters are way beyond my comprehension.  It is all there in black and white, what this man has done to this country.  It seems that even when he hurts some of them personally they still stand firm behind him.  As an example, my father is a disabled American veteran, Bush cut medical for the veterans, Dad now has to pay a portion of what he once got for free. Dad is also a conservative republican who feels this is somehow Clinton's fault.  \n   I think that Bush and his propaganda posse manages to keep all his supporters rallying for him by bringing up issues that take their minds off of the more important issues.  They bring up emotional issues like abortion and gay marriage, which they will never be able to do anything about anyhow, because some people just can't comprehend that war casualties are full term abortions.  And so many people out there still believe that it was Hussein that was behind 9-11 rather than Bin Laden.  They prey on the minds of the emotional, the weak, the profiteers, those who honestly believe that he is a man of God rather than the cold, calculating and yet somehow mentally challenged "leader" that he is.  They will always find excuses for him, all the death and destruction he has caused because that Godless Bill Clinton got a BJ.

Yeah his approval rating really says a lot doesn't it?  Bush is going to go down as the WORST president in history.  He's an idiot, a liar, a cheater (election 2000,2004), and a rich little brat.  Without his daddy's help he wouldn't have gotten anywhere in life.  \n\nTake a look at Rolling Stone's cover!

It is a way of accepting that Bush is the Freedom taker-in-chief. You know..? the best way to avoid the truth is to pretend it never existed.

Bush Jr. attended Eastern elitist schools, in this case Andover Prep, and Yale. According to a Newsweek profile, he "went to Yale but seems to have majored in drinking at the Deke House." He joined the secretive "Skull and Bones" club in 1968, as any good conspiracy buff can tell you.

Bush is definitly a much better president\n\nThere were more scandals during clinton's presidency then any others.  The head of FBI during clinton's presidency gave back his confidential access to the white house because he didn't want to be considered part of one of the scandals.  he spent more time investigating the white house the doing anything else during his eight years\n\nI won't even touch most of the things that went on but i do have to mention his affair
