EXPERIENCE
President, United State of America, 2001-2004

  • Invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.
  • Spent the US surplus and effectively bankrupted the US Treasury.
  • Shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in US history.
  • Set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.
  • Set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.
  • Set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the US stock market.
  • In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs.

  • I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.
  • Set the record for most campaign fundraising trips by a US president. I am the all-time US 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 US history, Enron.
  • My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the US Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton from 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.

  • Broken more international treaties than any President in US history.
  • First President in US history to have the United Nations remove the US from the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the US from the World Court of Law.
  • Refused to allow inspectors access to US "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.
  • First President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 US election).
  • Set the record for fewest number of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.
  • Set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.
  • Garnered the most sympathy for the US after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the US the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.
  • Set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.
  • First President in US history to order an unprovoked, preemptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of US citizens, and the world community.
  • Have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in war time.
  • In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.
  • First President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.
  • Supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical BunkerBuster," a WMD.
