On July 11,2003 she got a letter “We regret to inform you your application was not selected for funding”. Gone. Zapped totally. Bush is one of sorriest not just worst in history. Read TIME—8-17-03.

56. Columbia Journalism Review—Bush vetoed Patients Bill Of Rights as Governor but boasted how he got it passed. Now, flip flop to double straddle. He touted the Texas law as super duper.
When a challenge to the Texas Law went before Supreme Court Bush joined with two HMO’s in opposing the law. Could it be because the HMO’s are Pioneers in his campaign. Doesn’t this man have any honor or integrity?

57.Remove troops from Korea. A proposal by Cheney. Bush on 3-13-02 “There is no question we have obligations around the world, which we will keep.

70. Interview by Couric with Bush on 9-7-06 and Bush said-“One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq with the war on terrorism”. Lordie! Is he sane? The only connection was his manufactured one to sell the Iraq slaughterama. Records show only 2% of those captured or killed in Iraq were non-residents of Iraq. 98% Freedom Fighters and/or Civil Warriors.
71. “The buldge on my back in Kerry Debate was ill-fitting suit”. Not so Said NASA Photo expert. A Box.

details at think progress.org It is hard to accept he is not mentally deranged.
74. WE DON’T TORTURE—why are our soldiers being convicted of it. Bush has been six years of mental torture to the people.
75. 11-13-06 “People who hate us. They hate the idea that somebody can go buy a home”” They will need to buy many to replace the ones we destroyed. Needlessly. Do you believe that is the reason./Or—is it that four members of 101st raped a 14 year old girl, burned her body, and killed parents and 6 year old sister? Or, destroyed Fallujah home to 250,000?Or, killed 550,000 innocent persons. Or or or or This Recovering Drunk is brain scorched frat boy.

79. Bush wrote 10-14-03 memo to Rev. Troy Perry on 35th anniversary of his church. Prior to this letter Bush had proclaimed “marriage is a sacred institution defending traditional family of man and woman.
Perry had promoted Gay Marriage many times on national press. His church members were astonished that Bush would write such a memo. Even World Net Daily castigated Bush on it. 2003WorldNetDaily.com memo 11-12-03
‘I will do anything to win” credo of Bush Family.
80. April 2003—Iran wrote White House offerring discussionCheney sid “We do not negotiate with terrorists we destroy them?

82. Wait one moment—Bush signed an Executive Order on 7-20-07 Outlawing Torture. Last month he told a group of High School students in the White House “We do not torture”. How many times has he and Tony Snow said it. Why outlaw a vacuum?
He was lying then or now. You chose.
83. 7-23-07—Bush has spent five years disclaiming any correlation between Vietnam and Iraq. Speech to VFW on 7-22-07 was entirely about the correlation of Vietnam to Iraq. Disgusting to take this blarney blabber from a loon.

Bush is a Recovering Drunk (by admission) so you can understand his faulty memory.
86. 9-6-07 Sydney Morning Herald—phillip cooley—Deputy Prime Minister asked Bush what he saw in Iraq—Bush replied –“We’re kicking ass”—and killing hundreds of thousands and maiming tens of thousands for life—same loon who said this—He was asked what he and Dad talked about when alone. His reply “pussy”. Is he sane? Dead or alive—Bring em on
87.LOON?—In Australia for the APEC summit he made these two very very stupid remarks according to AP 9-5-07 –
To Australian PM--”Thank you for being such a fine host for this OPEC summit”—“Thank you PM Howard for visiting “AUSTRIAN” troops in Iraq last year”. TELL ME HE IS NOT STUPIIID.
88. 2-14-07—Reuters—Bush certain “Iran” was providing weapons to fighters in Iraq. Two hours later he said he had no knowledge Iran officials were part of the arms deal. He is smart? Ho hum.

Grade records show two courses and grades of 71 and 72. This punk is unreal.
92. Same press conference. “I got an A for keeping taxes low and being fiscally responsible with the people’s money.” He is insane. Totally Nuts. Spend & Borrow is let kids pay tomorrow. Sixty per cent increase in spending on borrowed money is not responsible. DRINKING AGAIN?
93. On Iraq war 9-20-07—“President Saddam Hussein brutality had made it impossible for a unifying leader to emerge and stop the sectarian violence that engulfed the Middle East Nation. I heard somebody say “where’s Mandela”. Mandela’s dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandellas.” Nelson Mandella is alive in South Africa. Yes! He is on Jack again.
94. 9-24-07-Bush was asked if he is an asset or liability for Republicans in next year’s election. His reply “strong asset”.

President smartass recovering dry alcoholic puke punk
99. Middle East Hero-In campaign Bush told how he would solve middle east conflict.
He said “I will ride herd” on recalcitrant leaders by picking up the telephone whenever necessary and help produce an agreement”.
Typical bravado moogumboo by a recovering dry drunk.

100. In 2004 campaign Bush said this “We will lead an aggressive effort to enroll millions of poor children who are eligible but not signed up for the children’s insurance program(schip)”.

It was reauthorized in Feb 2009 under Obama and D senate adding from 7M to 11M children.
101. Bush bragged during campaign how he would have an open administration.
We know the record of closed administration. Rated most secretive in history.

Passed overwhelmingly. He signed it.
103. Last Monday 7-21-08, Bush signed an executive order to reverse his 7½ year policy against oil drilling in some offshore areas, falsely suggesting that it will help lower the soaring price of gasoline.

Later in same speech he said:
“the greatest threat to economic prosperity is not too little government but it is too much government involvement in the market.”
