This person needs a new job; seeking an executive position. Can 
you help out? Available January 2009. Willing to relocate. 

RESUME 

GEORGE W. BUSH 
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 
Washington, DC 20520 

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE 

Law Enforcement: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 
for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid 
a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My 
Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available. 

Military: I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I 
refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my 
drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able 
to avoid combat duty in Vietnam. 

College: I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. 
I was a cheerleader. 

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE : I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began 
my career in the oil business in Midland,Texas in 1975. I bought 
an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company 
went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. 

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal 
that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father 
and our friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken 
Lay), I was elected governor of Texas. 

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS: 

I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, 
making Texas the most polluted state in the union. During my 
tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most 
smog-ridden city in America. 

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of 
billions in borrowed money. 

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in 
American history. 

With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida , and my 
father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President 
of the United States, after losing by over 500,000 votes. 

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: 

I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a 
criminal record. 

I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of 
over one billion dollars per week. 
I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. 
Treasury. 
I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. 
history. 

I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in 
any 12-month period. 

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month 
period. 
I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history 
of the U.S. stock market. 

In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their 
jobs and that trend continues. 
I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any 
administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," 
Condoleezza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her. 

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. 
President. I am the all- time U.S. and world record -holder for 
receiving the most corporate campaign donations. 

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best 
friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate 
bankruptcy fraud in U.S. history, Enron. My political party used 
Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success 
with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision. 

I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against 
investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent 
investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent 
investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. 
I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and 
refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry 
was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in 
U.S. history. 

I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be 
awarded government contracts. 

I appointed more convicted criminals to my administration than 
any President in U.S. history. 

I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest 
bureaucracy in the history of the United States Government. 

I've broken more international treaties than any President in 
U.S. history. 

I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United 
Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission. 

I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. 

I refused to allow inspector's access to U.S. "prisoners of war" 
detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva 
Convention. 

I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations 
election inspectors (during the 2002 US election). 

I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any 
President since the advent of television. 

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any 
one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, 
I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history. 

I garnered the most sympathy ever for the U.S. after the World 
Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. 
the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of 
diplomacy in world history. 

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to 
simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), 
shattering the record for protests against any person in the 
history of mankind. 

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, 
pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign 
nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations , the 
majority of U.S. Citizens and the world community. 

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a 
cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families 
in wartime. 

In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for 
attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends. 
I am the first President in history to have a majority of 
Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to 
world peace and security. 

I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker 
Buster," a WMD. 

I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin 
Laden to justice. 

RECORDS AND REFERENCES: 

All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my 
father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view. 

All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my 
bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for 
public view. 

All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my 
Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are 
sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review. I 
specified that my sealed documents will not be available for 50 
years. 

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY VOTER YOU KNOW! 

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the 
leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's 
always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a 
democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a 
communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always 
be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you 
have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce 
the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country 
to greater danger." 

-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
