I suppose most was known about him?
It may have been presented otherwise, but he was a failure the majority of his career - his biz activities had a habit of failing and along with the ususal "irregularities".
He was heralded as a success in Texas as governor where he obviously read the book, "One Minute Manager" and ran the State of Texas on that basis and left it in financial shit.
His other pre Whitehouse achievements are in getting thru the largest number of executions in Texas. Also obvious he has either a drinking or drug problem (that shit stays for a lifetime even when "inactive").
Overall he sounds like the prime candidate for the Whacko Party
I feel more damned sorry for victims of people like Bush, tho many of em actually voted and granted him power. There are also many more victims outside US territory. The damage to the US has been enormous and suspect it will take decades to recover. (If it actually does recover to original levels - other countries are rapidly advancing.)
Bush has his few years in office yet. The old lies and crap have come home to haunt the Admin and Bush is a stalemate President - the guy has little cred in the US and even less outside it.
George is only an elected puppet of a political party within a political system where the best man does not necessarily win. It's impossible to not see the motivators who are, in a way, corrupting to whole principle of democratic elections.
Only my
but there are bigger problems than young George to sort out. It's irrelevant which political party - the question of finance is "problematic". As long as political parties are hijacked, (religon and another stuff has also been hijacked) they are permitted to publish obvious lies about each other and individuals, there are 6500 lobbyists in Washington and plenty more shit - any resemblence of a democracy remains kinda warped. Can this be claimed to transparently represent the voting public and have their interests up front? Nothing is perfect, but doubt it.
Somehow I doubt the Constitution was formed with this abuse in mind.
