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 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 US. 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.
THIS IS GEORGE'S LEGACY....let it be written !!!

Bush better hope that McCain gets elected as the next President. He would be the only one that might pardon him for his war crimes and scandal during this administration. Mr. Bush has no chance if Obama or Clinton get elected. Bush bankrupted this country and have ruined relations with us in the worldwide eye.
From Wikipedia:
The movement to impeach George W. Bush refers to actions and commentary within the public and private spheres tending towards support for the impeachment of United States President George W. Bush. The phrase is also used in a broader sense to refer to a social movement and public opinion poll data that include both Democrats and Republicans which indicate a degree of public support for the impeachment of President Bush. - The reasons they offer for Bush's impeachment include concerns about the legitimacy, legality, and constitutionality of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and the controversial electronic surveillance of American citizens by the National Security Agency.
2007 polls have shown public support ranging between 39 and 45 percent in favor of impeaching Bush, and between 46 and 55 percent opposed. The House of Representatives Judiciary Committee has not considered the impeachment of President Bush, and the House of Representatives has taken no action to do so. The Democratic Party leadership has indicated that they have no intention of resolving to impeach him.

This man was on the take from his days as the Texas governor. His presidency was bought by the oil companies, pharm companies, insurance companies, and countless special interest groups. After his term they should immediately put him on trial for crimes against humanity. His is the new Hitler.

You must be an idiot to take those ramblings to heart, or a seriously misguided Democrat that's sore about losing twice.
I'm not saying that George W Bush has been perfect... far from it. Looking at the options over the past few years, you've got to be high to find one that's "unimpeachable" in some way. Drug use? Go back to 1992's election, and you've got the dodgy Clinton pot situation.
Afghanistan? Let me guess, if it was up to YOU, then we should have just shoved our thumb up our ass and let them continue harboring the thing [UBL does not qualify as a person] that planned and had followers carry out several attacks on our nation, both domestically and overseas? Saddam? I guess he could have stayed in office. He was a good whipping boy for Clinton whenever he needed a distraction from some trouble he was in. I guess no one should have enforced the failure of him to live up to the terms of his 1991 surrender.
Impeachment? Wasn't going to happen, isn't going to happen. Regardless of the majority party in Congress, no one will pursue that, as Rep Pelosi, from the People's Republic of California, and Speaker of the House has even said. No matter how much that nut-job Kucinich keeps trying to bring it up.
McCain pardoning him? For what? Unlike Clinton, he hasn't committed a crime in office. You bring up an old DUI charge, a disproved version of a service record - admitted to by a disgraced and disgruntled person, and use your opinion (which you have the right to have) as claims of fact. Clinton was accused with a LOT both before and during his time in the White House. Sexual improprieties, sexual harassment, perjury, obstruction, implication in both scandalous business ventures, and the mysterious deaths of several individuals like Ron Brown and Vince Foster. The only impeached presidents have ever been Democrats, coincidentally, although Nixon was due before he resigned.
Try getting your FACTS and OPINIONS squared away, and maybe doing your research, before opening your noise hole. Like I said, I'm not throwing out an endorsement here, but... It's like you just regurgitated Michael Moore-on's supper from last night.
You know how @#$#ing asinine you sound? Try doing the SLIGHTEST bit of research before you open your mouth.
Nationalities and generations aside:
Hitler had designs from the beginning (see Mein Kampf) for world domination. While some might think there is something similar with Bush, realize that without the events of 9/11/2001, and Afghanistan's subsequent harboring of Usama bin Laden and al Qaeda, the Taliban would still be in power, and American and Coalition forces would not have gone into that country.
Hitler's policies involved the segregation, imprisonment, and genocide of the Jewish people. The people who have been detained during our current actions have been specifically people who have engaged our troops, or have attended and/or been captured at enemy/terrorist camps and facilities. With the exception of a few F'd in the head individuals, who are generally punished (and should be), these detainees and prisoners of war have been treated humanely and decently, unlike their plans, and the way they treat OUR prisoners (televised beheadings anyone?)
This could go on and on, I figured I'd just point out a couple of glaring faults in your comparison. Does this make ME the new Hitler? Maybe YOU are the new Hitler?
