On Becoming President
02.06.04 (11:43 am)   [edit]
Son: "Daddy, when I grow up I want to be President."


Visions of Bush. Claims military experience but really didn't do much other than go AWOL and party. Claims a Harvard education but got in because of Daddy, had fair grades, and partied. Claims business experience but got positions because of Daddy and showed no business acumen whatsoever. Governor of Texas with Daddy's help but showed no talent for State Management whatsoever. Got appointed President through family help but has yet to show any talent for Federal Management whatsoever.
All of Bush's success culminating in the Presidency are a direct result of family business and political ties, and not one bit due to competency.


Daddy: "Sorry son. you won't ever be President."

Son: "But I'm smart. I get good grades."

Daddy: (sighs) "But you're not connected. Forget the Presidency - you're too smart. Have a good life instead."

I don't even know where to start with the inaccuracies in this post. Do you really believe that someone could party and coast through Harvard on their way to an MBA? That is laughable. As to the Awol situation you should try and peek your head from the left's propaganda and read a real report about this situation. There is nothing to support the claims that he was AWOL also there are plenty of records to support his being a great serviceman in the National gaurd. He was ranked in the top 5% of ALL pilots in the Air National Guard. Guess Daddy took the test for him eh?

Party and coast through college? Athletes do it all the time. Why should Harvard be any different? And if Daddy is extremely prominent I'm sure considerations are made come grade time. The National Guard is not quite the same as being in the Army or Navy and being actively in a war. He, essentially, has no war experience. And he could have passed the flying test well *AND* still gone on AWOL.
