Vic, let me start off with the vacation.

This fact was not made by me. It was posted in the New york time( Sept. 5th or 6th of 2002) and CNN. I am not saying these media are 100% (most of the time there is some discrepency).

As I understand it;

A gentlemens degree is often refered to as some one who get in or gets something because of who he is not what he accompishes.
His father contributed quiet bit of money and had significant influence at that school. I can bet if you had grades like hes ( you would not be welcomed). I dont think you will find any negitives about him on the Pres web site.

In his profile , he mentions he is or WAS owner of an Oil/Gas company.

What he does not mention is how succesful the company was till he was in charge. You can read about that in the Business journal and the Wallstreet Archives, along with the SEC filings. These are all public records .

Some of the things you mentioned about his predacessor are true but I am sure GWB has many other dealing that we as public are not aware of yet.

Any way, you take the good and the bad.
