Why does Bush hate America?
It seems so many of his actions reflect his hatred of our country:

1. The outsourcing of US jobs to foreign nations, even those associated with our national security.
2. Failure to act prior to 9/11 (I remember it well)
3. Diverting legitimate anti-terror action to misadventures in Iraq. Why? To protect the terrorists?
4. Katrina. Nothing more I can say there without becoming physically ill.
5. Distrust of the American public to the point of insanity. What else could explain the ridiculous lengths they go to to keep everything they're doing secret.
6. Demonization of anyone who isn't in complete lockstep, accusing them of disloyalty to the US, references to forth columns, etc.
7. Cozying up to our enemies, like the Bin Ladens.
8. Putting kickbacks to cronies above our national security, and quite frankly, our troops lives.
9. Thinking it's OK for Halliburton to serve up expired food and dirty water to our troops.
10. Buying a bolt hole in South America. Has there ever been another President who is so willing to show divided loyalty?
11. Putting politics above our country by appointing incompetents to important positions.

I'm sure there are a whole lot more examples I could think of that demonstrate Bush's contempt for America. It's ironic that it's a Republican meme that says "why do you hate America" when Bush himself so obviously hates our country.

What do you think is going on in that fishbowl "brain" that Bush has? Does he hate America?

3. Though it may appear as though * hates America, I think he is...
pathetic and stupid enough to actually think he is doing "good things" for America.

6. Because many of the laws get in the way of corporate profits and indisputable power for himself.

7. Welcome to DU.. I can tell you why
because if America ran in the spirit it was designed to then the playing field would be more level, and if the playing field were level guys like him would get stomped. The guy is a total failure. Any business owner would take a look at this guys resume and laugh him out the door. If it were'nt for his family he'd be working at Wal-Mart right now.

11. Chimpy's resume'... borrowed here a few weeks back
RESUME for the Office of President of the United States
George Walker Bush
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20520

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 National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

College

* I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.
* I was given an Masters of Business Administration degree at Harvard.

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. The bin Laden family gave me money to try again, and I bankrupted that company too.
* 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 in 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.

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 achieved negative job growth for the first time in over a century. I did this partly with my agressive job exporting/outsourcing program.
* 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 every month.
* 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 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 U.S. 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 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 protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.
* 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.
* 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.

Records and References

* All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view.
* All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.
* All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.

Please consider my experience when voting in 2004.

http://mindprod.com/politics/bushresume.html

It's time to update it.

Here are some new things.

References

* Harriet Miers says that I'm the "bestest governor ever", that's why I nominated her to be a Justice on the Supreme Court

Awards Received

* Title of "The Decider". Received from myself for my deciding on things.

What will YOU update Bush's resume with?
