The Bush family begs to differ..

The Bushes are carriers of the deny-destroy-and-be-damned virus. Prescott Bush never apologized for trading with the Nazis. George Bush Senior professed to know nothing of the drug and arms dealing that funded the bloody, illegal Iran-Contra operations, although it was common knowledge that he directed them. He and his sons enriched themselves through shady real estate deals and financial manipulations that brought down entire banking and savings and loan institutions. They are all consummate inside traders, looting and leaving ruin in their wake.

President-Select George Bush is no exception. He has no scruples about exploiting his office for personal and family gain. The Texas governor who could joke about frying prisoners in the electric chair will not, as president, agonize over the decision to send young men and women into battle--or over denying them medical care when they are injured.
There is irrefutable evidence that highly-placed Saudis aided and supported the terrorists who murdered over 3000 American citizens on September 11, 2001. Yet George Bush persists in protecting and colluding with those who sponsor terrorists. Is this not an an act of treason?
Will George Bush ever be tried and convicted for war crimes?

The Bush administration’s ties to oil and gas are as deep as an offshore well. President George W. Bush’s family has been running oil companies since 1950. Vice President Dick Cheney spent the late ’90s as CEO of Halliburton, the world’s largest oil services company. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice sat on the board of Chevron, which graced a tanker with her name. Commerce Secretary Donald Evans was the CEO of Tom Brown Inc. — a natural gas company with fields in Texas, Colorado and Wyoming — for more than a decade.

The links don’t end with personnel. The bin Laden family and other members of Saudi Arabia’s oil-wealthy elite have contributed mightily to several Bush family ventures, even as the American energy industry helped put Bush in office. Of the top 10 lifetime contributors to George W.’s war chests, six either come from the oil business or have ties to it, according the Center for Public Integrity.

So....is it news that rich folks run the world and drop the rest of us a crumb once in awhile? It is the blood of the common person that provides entertainment for the rich...I see a new TV show is about rich folks who gamble on crime and use a guy who lost his wife as their pawn...how very true to the real world.

Every administration since Jimmy Cater has been in bed with the Saudis. Big Run's point is that he has a huge hard on for the Bush family and tries to shoe horn it into every thread regardless of topic.

Unless of course his point is that Obama isn't. Which would explain this thread, and why I lose IQ points and feel a little dumber every time I read something he posts.

FTFY...and you are correct, I have a very huge hard on for G Dumya Bush which is well founded, i.e.invading a sovereign country..but not his daddy, a WWII hero

And I shoe horned it in as a reply to this off topic post..

And if gas prices were $4/gal who's fault would it be

Mr. Market Forces? It certainly wouldn't be POTUS fault.

and i don't get why...we get less than 10% of our oil from them.

that whole area is just nuts. we sell arms to folks and then they fire them at each other.
honestly, i think our main goal is to keep all the fighting over there in that region. we don't want them to end it either, just keep it localized and unstable.

The 'why' is making the rounds in the international media.

You have 3 guesses.

funny we accept low gas prices as a boon, and ignore layoffs that accompany them, because hey my wallet.
but let anyone suggest a min wage increase....because even tho studies show layoffs are negligible, as are price increases, people gonna believe what they want.
