Bush invested in bad idea

Guess what! Our president is a liar! I know that may be troubling news to some, but unfortunately it is a fact.

This person who claims to talk to God on a regular basis, was investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - not a noted liberal institution - for possible insider trading while at Harken Energy. Not a big deal, I suppose, unless you count the fact he made a big old pile of money.

Wait! Doesn't Bush want us all to invest in the stock market instead of maintaining Social Security? In fact, he does! Well, that wouild work 0ut great for him and his honesty-challenged rich buddies, wouldn't it? Then they could swipe some of everybody's money instead of just the money of people who had enough to actually invest in the stock market.

If this is the "freedom" Bush wants to export, the freedom to lie, cheat and steal with the impunity of the wealthy, no wonder there is such resistance to the U.S. style "freedom" around the world. It is nothing to be proud of.
