Bush’s former professor says he’s not qualified to be president
-snip

"In my class, he (Bush) declared that ’people are poor because they are lazy.’ He was opposed to labor unions, social security, environmental protection, Medicare and public schools. To him, Franklin D Roosevelt’s New Deal was ’socialism,"’ Tsurumi said. (Kyodo News)

1. Busted again: "Well, my dad has connections."
"I asked him, ’What have you been doing ? How about Vietnam ?’ and he said, ’Well, I’ve been in the National Guard in Texas.’ I said, ’How did you get that ? There’s a 10-year waiting list.’ And he said, ’Well, my dad has connections."’

4. Bush is the one who is lazy.
Never lifted a finger to do anything. If Bush had not been rich, he would have been lucky to graduate high school due to his laziness.

I picture being a wannabe ranch hand who is always getting kicked by the horses because he's to stupid to not get in the way.

7. Yep. Bu$h is nothing but a spoiled, wealthy preppie that never had
to do a real honest days work in his life.

He has absolutely no connection at all with middle class working people.

Even though John Kerry came from privileged circumstances, he volunteered for service in Vietnam, and has fought for working people all during his Senate career.

Bu$h, on the other hand, is an AWOL former preppie cheerleader, who only represents privileged special interests.

Bu$h is a spoiled-brat wuss.

8. Not qualified to manage Burger King.
If it weren't for his poppy this arrogant dumbass would be in the mailroom of a small oil company.

It is absolutely mind boggeling that this shallow twit is in the office of the Pres. Of course, we know that he is not actually the Pres. VP Cheney is.

9. he wasn't qualified to go to the colleges he did either
but he got in because of some "affirmative action" type thing for dumb ass kids of rich and powerful parents. yet he opposes affirmative action for minorities who have a history of being discriminated against and may come from schools which didn't have as good or many resources as some even though these kids ARE qualified and prove it by being able to do the college work once there.

10. The professor screened "Grapes of Wrath". * remarked it was "corny".
Yeah, people who have been worked to death, who are driven from their homes by the bank, who have to risk their lives to drive halfway across the country to vie for labor fit for slaves (and a salary to match it), and have to fight the goons working for nanagement in order to stay alive, that's really corn . . . I can see Smirk giggling as those children in the camp ran to get a cup or something to eat watery stew left over in the Joad's pot. Or Henry Fonda's speech at the end, vowing to seek justice wherever he can.

I wish the press had paid attention to this professor in 2000.

11. The Haves and Have Mores
"Some call you The Elite, I call you my base." Surprise, * still opposes all of these social issues, only now he is in a position to get rid of them, creating even poor "lazy" people. I hate republicans! Greedy, selfish, self absorbed, clueless elitist snobs! And * tops 'em all!

12. But but...it's FRENCH!
/sarcasm off/

This will never see the light of day in the US media. Then again, maybe Olbermann will pick it up.
