- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly

What do I think about President Bush?? Let's just say I sleep a lot more peacefully at night now than I did when Clinton was occupying the White House.

9-11 sent shock waves through every world market...add the artificially inflated "earnings" before the "dot-com" bubble burst, the accounting scandals, insider trading, etc. (all on Clinton's watch, note), PLUS the prosecution of war, which is never cheap...it adds up, ladies and gents, and no Democrat now serving in office, or seeking the "brass ring" next year could have done better under the weight of so much coming so fast.

I, too, sleep MUCH better at night with a REAL Commander-in-Chief in the Oval Office...and I will again express that confidence in November of 2004, thank you very much. :wink:

Propaganda. Bush is doing a good job with the situations he has. I support the Commander in Chief.

I spotted a few statements in there that might not be true. I think there are more true things in that email then false ones though. My vote is always in the minority as a third party voter.

I received this e-mail awhile back too. Some of the stuff is rediculous I believe, but I am sure no one would have hastened to post something like this on Clinton if it were circulating.

I don't have Acrobat on my home computer, but here's a link to Snopes that links to a site with an analysis of that information:

http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/resume.asp

Claim: Internet "résumé" outlines President George W. Bush's business and political careers.
Status: Varied.

Origins: The George W. Bush "résumé," one of the most forwarded items of 2003, is a mixed bag of entries of varying degrees of truthfulness, many of them quite complex and/or subjective in nature. We haven't had the time to properly delve into the multiplicity of claims contained in it yet.

However, because so many of our readers have asked us about this e-mail, here is a link to the work of someone else who has taken a stab at evaluating the piece. Please note we have in no way vetted the analysis or conclusions offered therein — we offer the link solely on a "let the reader beware" basis.

Thanks GalvestonDuck. Snopes knows everything. I need to check that site out I guess. :)

Was Clinton accused of rape? I don't rememer that....
By the way, this email included the mention of Bush's vacations...

"While the president of the United States is never completely on vacation, most commanders-in-chief manage to enjoy a respite from the daily grind during their stay the White House. George W. Bush seems to have taken this to the extreme early in his tenure as president. A humorous, fake resume for Bush suggests that he set the record for most days on vacation by any president in U.S. history -- a bit of an exaggeration, but still cause for some teasing."

I am happy Bush went after Bin Laden and Hussein. But if we never find them, it will be 1 of the reasons Bush doesn't get re elected.

Yes, he was accused of rape. He, as far as I know was never charged or convicted. I guess at this point we will never really know, but I can't say that I would put it past him, either.

Stormraiser,
I hate to say this, but I doubt rape because his 'partner' seemed more than willing ,

"Juanita Broaddrick of Arkansas accused him of raping her in 1978. In a February 24 interview on NBC's "Dateline," Broaddrick said she permitted then-Arkansas Attorney General Clinton to have a professional discussion with her in her Little Rock hotel room during a business convention. They had met while she volunteered on his first gubernatorial campaign. After some light banter, she said, Clinton pounced on her, bit her upper lip until it bled and violently penetrated her after tearing through her panty hose. Before he left, Broaddrick said, Clinton donned his sunglasses and remarked about her bloody lip: "You better put some ice on that." Broaddrick contemporaneously told four others about this alleged incident including her friend Norma Rogers, a nurse who recalls putting ice on Broaddrick's lip after finding her in shock."

I , for one, think that the more negative propaganda about a President only means that he is doing his job. It seems that when a President is on the ball, there are groups out there who feel the need to try to discredit him in any way. Some of the things listed may very well be true but what they neglect to add is the mitigating circumstances that were preceded by the outcome.
