Past work experience:
Accomplishments While Governor of Texas (1995-2000):
- Relaxed
pollution laws for power and oil companies (I "grandfathered" the
dirtiest coal burning power plants, making them exempt from clean air
laws, for example) and made Texas the most polluted state in the Union,
in 1999. The same year, Houston had the "highest ozone level reading in the nation", and
was second most ozone-polluted city in the country from 1997 through
1999.
- Slashed
taxes, reduced state revenue to the point of bankruptcy and put the
Texas government in debt for billions in borrowed money, the
interest for which is now paid for by the Texas taxpayer.
- Set
a record for the most executions by any Governor in American history
and became
famous for publicly mocking Faye Tucker, a Christian female death
row inmate, for her clemency plea before she was executed.
- Appointed
US President, on a
questionable decision by a highly partisan Supreme Court, after
losing the popular vote by over 500,000 votes.
Accomplishments While US President (2001-present):
- Attacked
and invaded two countries so far, losing
more US soldiers after I claimed "Mission Accomplished" than the total
number who were killed during full combat operations in both wars
combined.
- Spent
the largest surplus in the history of the country and nearly bankrupted
the treasury.
- Shattered records for the biggest annual deficit in
history.
- Presided over all time economic record for most
private bankruptcies filed during any Presidency, beating the
previous record, which was set during the depression years.
- Set all-time record for biggest loss of value in the
history of the stock market during any Presidency.
- Helped
"push" through Congress and then signed into law the largest overtime pay cut in US history, despite
the fact that 3 out of 4 Americans opposed it.
- First President in US history to enter office with a
criminal record.
- First year in office set the all-time record for most
days on vacation by any President in US history.
- After
taking the entire month of August 2001 off for vacation, presided over the worst security failure in US
history, the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon.
- Set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips of
any President in US history.
- In my first three years in office over 3.3 million
Americans lost their jobs.
- Presided over
the all-time U.S. record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.
- Set the record for the fewest amount of press
conferences of any President since the advent of television.
- Presided over perhaps the biggest energy crisis in US
history and refused to intervene when ENRON corruption was revealed
and many states faced bankruptcy.
- Presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history
and refused to use the national reserves as past presidents have.
- Cut healthcare benefits for war veterans while
posing on aircraft carriers in a flight suit and despite praising the
troops at every opportunity.
- Inspired the all-time record for most people worldwide
to simultaneously take to the streets to protest a US decision to go to
war (15 million people).
- My administration is the most secretive and
unaccountable of any in US history, surpassing the secrecy of the
Nixon administration at its darkest moments.
- Members
of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (the 'poorest' multi-millionaire, Condoleeza Rice, had
a Chevron oil tanker named after her).
- Presided
over the worst fiscal crisis to hit all 50 states of the Union
since World War II.
- Presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud
(ENRON, WorldCom, Global Crossing) of any market in any country in
history.
- First
President in US history to order an unprovoked attack and military occupation of a
sovereign nation.
- First
President in US history to start a war against
the will of the United Nations and the world community.
- Created the largest new government bureaucracy
(Department of Homeland Security) in the history of the United States.
- Set
the all-time record for biggest annual budget spending increases,
more than any President in US history.
- First
President in US history to have the United Nations remove the US from the human
rights commission.
- Along
with my Attorney General, John Ashcroft, I have eroded
the civil liberties of American citizens more than at any other time in
US history.
- After
the 9/11 attacks, I lobbied for and signed into law the "rush job" Patriot Act, which legalized "Big
Brother-like" surveillance of US citizens for the first time in
history.
- I
disregard states rights when it suits me, but I always run for
office on a platform that holds states rights above federal rights.
- I've
imprisoned more sick people for growing and smoking medicinal Cannabis
than any other president, in violation of states rights, of course, and against
the wishes of the states and local voters.
- Withdrew from
the World Court (International Court of Justice) and I refuse to
recognize it unless it gives my administration, the US and global
corporations special immunity.
- I
have kept 660 prisoners of war in Guantanamo Bay for two years without
charging any of them. I've cleverly classified them as "enemy
combatants", thereby allowing me to circumvent the Geneva Convention
when I feel like it.
- All-time US (and world) record holder for most
corporate campaign donations.
- My
personal friend and biggest lifetime campaign contributor presided
over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history
(Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).
- Instead
of springing into action as Commander in Chief after I learned that the
US was under attack on 9/11, I read a book called 'The Pet Goat' to schoolchildren
for a while so I wouldn't alarm them.
- First US President to establish a secret shadow
government, and I did this without the knowledge or participation
of the opposition parties in congress.
- Squandered world sympathy for the US after 9/11,
and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the
world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).
- With a policy of 'disengagement' and open public
support for alleged war criminal, Ariel Sharon, allowed and condoned
the most hostile Israeli-Palestine relations in at least 30 years.
- First
US President in history to have a majority of the people of Europe view the US as
the biggest threat to world peace and stability.
- First
US President in history to have the people of South Korea feel more threatened by the
US than their immediate neighbor, North Korea.
- Failed
to fulfill my pledge to get Osama
Bin Laden 'dead or alive'. Additionally, I have failed to bring to
justice anyone else responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
- Failed
to capture the anthrax suspect(s) who tried to murder the leaders
of our country at the United States Capital building.
- After
intense pressure from families of 9/11 victims and others, I finally
consented to a public 9/11 investigation over a year after the attacks.
But
my first nominee to head the Commission, Henry Kissinger, resigned
because of his secret ties to Middle Eastern business interests.
- In a little over two years created the most divided
country in decades, possibly the most divided the US has ever been
since the civil war.
- Entered office with the strongest economy in US
history and in less than two years turned every economic category into
a sharply downward trend.
- Did nothing about the failing US power grid during the
first two years of my presidency, despite repeated warnings, and
later presided over the largest total power blackout in US history that
incapacitated several states and part of Canada.
- In order
to prevent financing abortions in China, I cut off all $34 million of
aid to the U.N. Population Fund, which was also used to provide
medical care to teenagers with defective pregnancies.
- I have done a
lot to weaken environment regulations in America. My administration
has: Rolled back clean air standards; broken a promise to
address global warming; slowed the clean up of toxic waste dumps while
making taxpayers foot the bill; changed regulations to allow more
arsenic in tap water; advocated a forest policy that will vastly
increase timber cutting; cut back protections for endangered species;
fought for oil drilling in the pristine Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge; allowed America's dirtiest power plants to keep polluting;
opposed renewable energy and reversed course on energy efficiency; and
given key positions in the White House to former energy executives and
lobbyists
