rockycoon,
...From what i can remember, he's been a parasite civil servant for most of his working life, (thanks again to good ole Dad!!) and had never been outside of continental America in his life before becoming President!!!
Makes you wonder where he would be in this life, were it not for being George Bush's son.

David,
This is where you are wrong. George Jr. was very successful in the oil business. he lived in Midland, Tx. and started a successful oil company called Arbusto Energy Inc. Before you make fun of the name Arbusto it is Spanish for Bush.
Many people have said that the business was a failure but it was not. Bush bought into and merged with Spectrum 7 and Bush will worked there. The two owners purchase the Texas Rangers baseball team and became a partner in that too. Spectrum 7 sold out to Harkin Oil and the dynamic 3 invested into the Texas Rangers. Under Bush's leadership with the baseball team.
Bush turned the club around and they almost made it to the world series.
How do I know all this? I was in the oil business and I worked with Arbusto and Spectrum 7. When I went back to school I worked for the Texas Rangers for 1 season. The Bush family treated their employees and business associates extremely well. I would work for them again without question if the opportunity presented itself.
Many people say Bush was not a successful oil man. Quite the contrary. The fact that they started and grew and were sold to larger companies during very difficult economic times in the oil industry proves he was a very successful businessman. Many well established oil companies went out of business during these times.
