Bushes will not attend inauguration

[Synthaholic]

It was a reference to Obama's qualifications.

dude never ran so much as a hotdog stand in his life.


LOL

Suuure it was

Remind us again....

What did Obama ever actually run before being handed the most important management job in the world?

Pathetically unqualified, and it shows.

LOL

Bush ran companies into the ground.

Was that better?

Bushes will not attend inauguration ? CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

Neither former President George H.W. Bush nor his son former President George W. Bush will attend the inauguration of President Barack Obama.

Both attended Obama's first inauguration in 2009, when the younger Bush's second term ended. Former presidents often attend inaugurations and have prominent seats alongside legislators, Supreme Court justices and other dignitaries.

Screw Obama and his second term ! 4 more years of Doom and Gloom !

All those who were killed volunteered for the gig. - modern American sentiment

Just wanted to read that again.

If I wanted to be as degenerate as that sentiment is, here is what I would be thinking: I didn't volunteer to pay for it, you moron.

But there is good news!

I don't want to be that degenerate.

And frankly it saddens me that US public education has failed to the extent it can produce people who do.

 

[Misty]

They don't much care to associate with the help.

Classy!


Why would anyone ever accuse you folks of racism.

The fact that you took this comment as racist confirms your racism. You thought it was racist. Why? Because your mind is racist. You see blacks as the help. That's what's racist.

 

[Synthaholic]

I wouldn't go either if I were them.

we all saw the hateful show Obama and his supporters put on in the first one

I agree. Obama has treated Bush like crap. Not to mention papa Bush has been very ill.

The Detroit Tigers played terribly in the World Series - they couldn't pitch, they couldn't hit, they couldn't score runs. It was a terrible performance from a team that was expected to do great.

I guess now that I have told you those facts, you should accuse me of treating the Tigers like crap.

Since you haven't accomplished half of what Obama has, what does that make you?...Less than nothing? That sounds about right.

Nothing in there about executive experience. Try to keep up with your own fallacies, would you?

No to mention that the POTUS is not required to have previous executive experience.

Bush ran companies into the ground.

name one...

• 1979-83: Fifty Bush family investors and friends, led by uncle Jonathan, a New York Republican Party official and an investment manager, fork over $4.7 million to set up young Bush in a company called Arbusto. It's a flop, and in 1982 gets a new name: Bush Exploration.


• 1984: Spectrum 7 Corporation, an Ohio oil exploration outfit owned by Dubya's Yalie pal William DeWitt Jr., buys out Bush Exploration, setting up young Bush as CEO at $75,000 a year and giving him 1.1 million shares of the firm's stock. Another flop. The company's fortunes soon sink, with $400,000 in losses and a debt of $3 million.


• 1986: In the nick of time, Bush and partners merge the failing Spectrum with Harken Oil, a Dallas exploration company, with a $2 million stock purchase. Bush puts up about $500,000 and gets a $120,000 annual consulting fee along with $131,250 in stock options. Harken is a small outfit, looking for oil opportunities within the U.S. Then out of the blue comes Harvard Management Corporation, an investment adviser for Harvard University's endowment portfolio. It pumps millions into the venture.


• 1990: Although Harken has no international expertise, it gets the attention of the Bahrain National Oil Company, which unexpectedly appears on the scene and bypasses big oil's Amoco and Chevron to sign a production agreement with the little Texas concern. The contract grants Harken exclusive rights to what seems to be a promising offshore area squeezed between two productive tracts owned by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The Wall Street Journalspeculates Bahrain was trying to cozy up to Daddy Bush, who was plotting an assault on Iraq after Saddam Hussein seized Kuwait.


Bass Enterprises Production Company finances the Bahrain drilling with $25 million, and Harvard Management raises its investment. A couple of members of the Fort Worth Bass family have places on Team 100, an elite business group contributing to the Republican National Committee.


In June, Harken drills two dry holes in Bahrain. The future looks bleak. Dubya dumps two-thirds of his Harken holdings (212,140 shares), for $848,560. He uses some of this money to buy into the Texas Rangers baseball club. This is a lot of stock to dump on the market all at once, and brokers say it was purchased by an unnamed institutional investor.

That August, Harken posts a loss of $23 million.


• January 1991: Daddy Bush attacks Iraq.


• February 1991: Dubya, as the official in charge at Harken, reports his big stock sale to the SEC—eight months late.


• April 1991: The SEC begins an investigation into Harken dealings. Chairman Richard Breeden, who had been appointed by the senior Bush and served him as an economic policy adviser, hails from Baker & Botts, a big Texas oil law firm where he was a partner. Inside the SEC, James Doty, general counsel and the official in charge of any litigation that might come out of the Harken investigation, is another alumnus of Baker & Botts. And as a private attorney, before joining the government, Doty represented the younger Bush in matters related to Dubya's ownership of the Rangers.


• 1993: The SEC ends its Harken investigation following perfunctory interviews.


The good people of Baker & Botts continued looking out for Shrub. Since 1993, Breeden, Doty, and other lawyers there have given him $182,050 for his various political campaigns, making the firm one of his biggest supporters.


That's how the network functioned in the Harken affair. Dubya also has historic mentors among his kin. During the Second World War, for example, the government investigated his grandfather, Prescott Bush, and his maternal great-grandfather, Bert Walker. Under the Trading With the Enemy Act, officials seized Bush stockholdings, charging that "huge sections of Prescott Bush's empire had been operated on behalf of Nazi Germany and had greatly assisted the German war effort."

Yeah, the Harvard Law Review. Just some college rag that nobody takes seriously.

Harvard Law Review - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the Harvard Law Review is the most cited journal and its 2011 impact factor of 3.336 ranks it second out of 134 journals in the category "Law"

The Harvard Law Review Association, in conjunction with the Columbia Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and the Yale Law Journal, publishes the Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, a widely followed authority for legal citation formats in the United States.
