George W. Bush Featured Speaker at Cayman Investment Conference

The conference will feature Bush as the keynote speaker on the first night, and British billionaire Sir Richard Branson on the second night. The timing of the conference could land awkwardly during an election season that's been marked by speculation about Mitt Romney's finances, particularly his offshore investments in tax havens like the Cayman Islands.

I'm guessing they couldn't get Mitt on such short notice.

Media 'Blackout' as Bush Speaks in Cayman Islands - ABC News

The keynote speech by the former president is "totally closed to all journalists," and conference organizers are forbidden from discussing any aspect of it even in general terms, spokesman Dan Kneipp said.

"We've got a complete blackout on discussing the Bush details," Kneipp told The Associated Press.

They are even as secretive as Romney.

Sponsors of the two-day conference include KPMG, a company that provides tax advisory services, and Deutsche Bank. It costs $4,000 to attend and other speakers include billionaire Richard Branson.

Cayman Islands officials are proud of the British territory's role as an offshore finance center. But members of the U.S. Congress and advocates for changes in tax laws have accused corporations and wealthy individuals of using so-called financial havens to improperly avoid taxes.

Interesting that this is happening just before the election.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands—Organizers of an investment conference in the Cayman Islands say they have been forbidden from disclosing any details about a speech by former President George W. Bush in the offshore financial haven, an event spokesman said Thursday.
The keynote speech by the former president is "totally closed to all journalists," and conference organizers are forbidden from discussing any aspect of it even in general terms, spokesman Dan Kneipp said.
"We've got a complete blackout on discussing the Bush details," Kneipp told The Associated Press.
The restrictions were imposed by the former president's staff, he said. Bush was scheduled to speak Thursday evening at The Ritz-Carlton on Grand Cayman Island.

Sounds like a great investment.

Can you blame them ? Obama would just piss it away on another green flop, may-be some more free phones ,or may-be put a few more million on welfare, this Country is fast turning into a big cesspool of coruption...

 

[Wry Catcher]

tonight and no Journalists allowed!

Kinda funny, Romney's only days away from the election and surely doesn't want the Cayman Islands to be discussed now. Why would former President Bush accept a speaking engagement there and at this time?

While the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton, is on the campaign trail speaking at rallies on behalf of Barack Obama, the last Republican president, George W. Bush, has been missing in action totally this election. He surfaced today, however, in the Cayman Islands where he is delivering the keynote address at a private “investment” conference.

The press is locked out. A spokesman for the Cayman Alternative Investment Summit says the speech is totally closed to all journalists. Spokesman Dan Kneipp says he is not even permitted to discuss the subject of Bush's speech scheduled for Thursday evening at the Ritz-Carlton. Attendees are paying $4,000 each to get advice at this “investment” seminar. Sponsors include KPMG, a company that provides tax advisory services, and Deutsche Bank.

What is the conference about? It is about the benefits of using the Cayman Islands to shelter income in order to avoid paying U.S. taxes. How did George Bush become an expert on the subject? Perhaps Mitt Romney gave him some tips.

another dumbfuck post from this liberal dick sucker

What a contrast between presidents.

Clinton, well respected, still working hard.

W. Bush, despised even by his own party, pumping tax havens that allow the idle rich to cheat on their taxes.

 

[Politico]

What part of Bush doesn't give a shit do you Rightyloons and Leftytoons not understand? He's not intentionally doing anything other than collecting a huge check. Same as any of you would.

Oh you fool. President Bush had been invited to speak at the convention. He declined. And strategically he has been wise to keep a low profile because he knows quite well that all Obama wanted to do again this election cycle was to run against him again in 2012 like Obama ran against McCain / Bush in 2008.

Madeline Albright even said that was the plan in a speech she gave last summer. That the plan was to "blame Bush forever".

Now GW opened his house for a large fundraiser hosted by the former First Lady Laura Bush and Anne Romney.

Jeb Bush is on the stump with Romney.

Bush Sr. is hosting a huge fundraiser in Houston.

AND Dick Cheney has been hosting fundraisers for Romney. The most recent one in Dallas.

So you see, the old team is not despised. They are very valuable. Just being utilized in different ways.

No one I know give a shit about Clinton, much less respects him. The lying, impeached sob should have gone to jail.

Which would explain why no one running for office as a republican has asked W for an endorsement.
