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
Nation
al
Guard,
I
was
able
to
avoid
combat
duty
in
Vietnam.
College:
I
graduated
from
Yale
University
near
the
bottom
of
my
class.
I
was
a
cheerleader.
I
was
a
member
of
the
university's
Skull
and
Bones
Society,
selected
because
of
my
family,
not
because
I
qualified
in
any
way.
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
i
n
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
protes
t
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,
preemptive
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.
