May 13 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, reported owning financial assets and property in 2004 valued between $7.8 million and $18.1 million, according to federal financial disclosure forms released at the White House today.

Vice President Dick Cheney's assets last year ranged between $16.6 million and $75.5 million, including cash, investments, deferred compensation from Halliburton Co., stock options, salaries and retirement benefits.

Executive branch officials including the president and the vice president are required to file annual financial disclosure forms in which they list assets within dollar ranges, such as $1,000 to $15,000 or $100,000 to $250,000. Bush valued his Texas ranch at between $1 million and $5 million.

Bush, 58, also reported receiving gifts including $650 gold cuff links and a $400 pocketknife. The most valuable was a $2,700 mountain bike from John Burke, president of Waterloo, Wisconsin- based Trek Bicycle Corp.

1. Liquidating those assets is a good start

to compensating the Iraqis for the war that was inflicted on them or for helping to pay down our national debt that was plundered by this administration.

2. How do you plunder a debt?

6. Good catch.

Caused Debt by robbing our country of our surplus to give to his friends and then started a war. A war we cannot afford without borrowing funds from other countries.

10. How can you not know

If your property is worth 1 million or 5 million? That's like not knowing if you own a share of a lumber company or if you...
Nevermind.

7. Not one person in this Administration is worth less than a million dollars

Quite Representative of Americans in general...right???

8. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bush family was worth tens of billions...

$18 milliion is a definite underestimation of that Nazi collaborating family's wealth.
