The Bush bashing is so stupid. How anyone that can call a man or woman "stupid" that graduated Harvard with a MBA is beyond pathetic.
I didn’t call him that. I admitted I was wrong about U. of TX, but the rest of the ‘record’ is clear. He had help, and plenty of it.
And seriously, you don’t know anyone who was educated beyond their intelligence? Aren’t liberals routinely reviled from the right as part of some kind of 'educational elite'? It’s not meant as a compliment, is it?
How about "The Best and the Brightest", a not complimentary phrase to describe the mostly Ivy League educated who led Kennedy and LBJ into Vietnam?
Prestigious schools and degrees are not 'inoculations' that prevent catastrophically bad, if not stupid, decisions by their graduates and their degree holders.
Now, as to the ‘utility’ of Bush's Harvard MBA? He traded Sammy Sosa and he invaded the wrong country! LOL!
Cutting taxes, ‘to give back’ the Clinton Admin budget surplus turned out to be a terrible mistake. You’d think that in some ‘breakout session’ at Harvard he might have learned that supply side economics were, as his father correctly identified them, ‘voodoo economics’.
After 9/11Dubya famously told us all to ‘go shopping’ and, instead of rolling back the tax cuts, to pay for what he knew was coming, he let them ride.
Never before in history had a president cut taxes during war time. Had to be something about THAT in his MBA ‘studies’, ya think?
I consider none of the above to be ‘bashing’. I do consider the slack you cut him to be nothing short of revisionist history.
