BUSH ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: <br><br> I attacked and took over two countries. <br><br> I spent the U.S. surplus and bankrupted the US Treasury. <br><br> I shattered the record for the biggest annual deficit in history (not <br>  <br> easy!). <br><br> I set an economic record for the most personal bankruptcies filed in <br>  <br> any 12 month period. <br><br> I set all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the <br>  <br> stock market. <br><br> I am the first president in decades to execute a federal prisoner. <br><br> I am the first president in US history to enter office with a <br>  <br> criminal record. <br><br> In my first year in office I set the all-time record for most days on <br>  <br> vacation by any president in US history (tough to beat my dad's, but <br>  <br> I did). <br><br> After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided <br>  <br> over the worst security failure in US history. <br><br> I set the record for most campaign fund raising trips by any <br>  <br> president in US history. <br><br> In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their <br>  <br> job. <br><br> I cut unemployment benefits for more out-of-work Americans than any <br>  <br> other president in US history. <br><br> I set the all-time record for most real estate foreclosures in a <br>  <br> 12-month period. <br><br> I appointed more convicted criminals to administration positions than <br>  <br> any president in US history. <br><br> I set the record for the fewest press conferences of any president, <br>  <br> since the advent of TV. <br><br> I signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution <br>  <br> than any other US president in history. <br><br> I presided over the biggest energy crises in US history and refused <br>  <br> to intervene when corruption was revealed. <br><br> I cut health care benefits for war veterans. <br><br> I set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously <br>  <br> take to the streets to protest me (15 million people), shattering the <br>  <br> record for protest against any person in the history of mankind. <br><br> I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US <br>  <br> history. <br><br> I've made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any <br>  <br> in US history. <br><br> Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US <br>  <br> history. (The poorest multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil <br>  <br> tanker named after her). <br><br> I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the <br>  <br> Union simultaneously struggle against bankruptcy. <br><br> I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any <br>  <br> market in any country in the history of the world. <br><br> I am the first president in US history to order a US attack and <br>  <br> military occupation of a sovereign nation, and I did so against the will of <br>  <br> the United Nations and the vast majority of the international community. <br><br> I have created the largest government department bureaucracy in the <br>  <br> history of the United States, called the \"Bureau of Homeland <br>  <br> Security\"(only one letter away from BS). <br><br> I set the all-time record for biggest annual budget spending <br>  <br> increases, more than any other president in US history (Ronnie was tough to <br>  <br> beat, but I did it!!). <br><br> I am the first president in US history to compel the United Nations <br>  <br> remove the US from the Human Rights Commission. <br><br> I am the first president in US history to have the United Nations <br>  <br> remove the US from the Elections Monitoring Board. <br><br> I removed more checks and balances, and have the least amount of <br>  <br> congressional oversight than any presidential administration in US <br>  <br> history. <br><br> I rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant. <br><br> I withdrew from the World Court of Law. <br><br> I refused to allow inspectors access to US prisoners of war and by <br>  <br> default no longer abide by the Geneva Conventions. <br><br> I am the first president in US history to refuse United Nations <br>  <br> election inspectors access during the 2002 US elections. <br><br> I am the all-time US (and world) record holder for most corporate <br>  <br> campaign donations. <br><br> The biggest lifetime contributor to my campaign, who is also one of <br>  <br> my best friends, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy <br>  <br> frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron &gt;Corporation). <br><br> I spent more money on polls and focus groups than any president in US <br>  <br> history. <br><br> I am the first president to run and hide when the US came under <br>  <br> attack (and then lied, saying the enemy had the code to Air Force 1) <br>  <br> I am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government. <br><br> I took the world's sympathy for the US after 9\/11,and in less than a <br>  <br> year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the <br>  <br> biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history). <br><br> I am the first US president in history to have a majority of the <br>  <br> people of Europe (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world <br>  <br> peace <br>  <br> and stability. <br><br> I changed US policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded <br>  <br> government contracts. <br><br> I set the all-time record for the number of administration appointees <br>  <br> who violated US law by not selling their huge investments in corporations <br>  <br> bidding for gov't contracts. <br><br> I have removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than <br>  <br> any other president in US history. <br><br> In a little over two years, I have created the most divided country in <br>  <br> decades, possibly the most divided that the US has been since the Civil War. <br><br> I entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less <br>  <br> than two years turned every single economic category heading straight <br>  <br> down. <br><br> RECORDS AND REFERENCES: <br>  <br> I have at least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas <br>  <br> driving record has been erased and is not available). <br><br> I was AWOL from the National Guard and deserted the military during <br>  <br> time of war. <br><br> I refuse to take a drug test or even answer any questions about drug <br>  <br> use. <br><br> All records of my tenure as governor of Texas have been spirited away <br>  <br> to my fathers library, sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public <br>  <br> view. <br><br> All records of any SEC investigations into my insider trading or <br>  <br> bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. <br><br> All minutes of meetings of any public corporation for which I served <br>  <br> on the board are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. <br><br> Any records or minutes from meetings I (or my VP)attended regarding <br>  <br> public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public <br>  <br> review. <br><br> PERSONAL REFERENCES: <br><br> For personal references, please speak to my dad or Uncle James Baker <br>  <br> (They can be reached in their offices at the Carlyle Group where they are <br>  <br> helping to divide up the spoils of the US-Iraq war and plan for the <br>  <br> next one). <br>  <br>
