This is so blatantly stupid that it doesn't really deserve a repy. However, I don't want Elvis thinking his lunacy is all for not.

So evidently anyone that has a pre-nup in their marriage cannot be trusted. I hope the credit industry doesn't adopt this philosophy; that could easily spell the demise of our economy, considering the number of pre-nups in today's marriages.

Anyway, here's a tit-for-tat. Bush has a history of business failures. If he can't run a business, why should we trust him to run the country? Consider the following:

"George W. Bush started out researching who owned mineral rights, and later started his own oil and gas company by 1978, taking $17,000 from his education trust fund to set up Arbusto Energy (arbusto means Bush in Spanish). The company nearly failed when oil prices fell. He tried to save the business, first by making the brilliant managerial move of changing the company's name and later by merging with other companies.

In 1983, the company was rescued from failure when Spectrum 7 Energy Corporation, a small oil firm owned by William DeWitt and Mercer Reynolds, bought it. Bush became chief executive officer. Some people are impressed with a failed CEO!

Harken Energy Corporation acquired Spectrum 7 in 1986, after Spectrum had lost $400,000. Notice how George continued with Spectrum in much the same manner as he did with his company, by failing! In the buyout deal, Bush and his partners were given more than $2 million worth of Harken stock for the 180-well operation. Bush became a director and was hired as a "consultant" to Harken. He received another $600,000 of Harken stock, and has been paid between $42,000 and $120,000 a year. Notice also how the welfare of the rich has colorful terms like "consultant," and "director."

By the spring of 1987, Harken was in need of cash. More failure! What a consistent failure of an SOB our president is. So Bush and his fellow Harken officials met with Jackson Stephens, head of Stephens, Inc., an investment bank in Little Rock, Arkansas (Stephens contributed $100,000 to the Reagan-Bush campaign in 1980 and gave another $100,000 to the Bush dinner committee in 1990.) Stephens arranged for Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) to provide $25 million to Bush’s company in return for a stock interest in Harken. As part of the deal, Sheikh Abdullah Bakhsh, a Saudi real estate tycoon and financier, joined Harken's board as a major investor. Stephens, UBS, and Bakhsh each had ties to the infamous, scandal-ridden Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). In 1990, Bush sold his remaining stock options and left the oil business. Writer Jack Colhoun revealed some details of that stock sale, referring to Bush by his childhood nickname “Junior”:

On June 22, 1990, George Jr. sold two-thirds of his Harken stock for $848,560-a cool 200 percent profit. The move was well timed. One week after Junior sold his stock, Harken announced a $23.2 million loss in quarterly earnings and Harken stock dropped sharply, losing 60 percent of its value over the next six months. On August 2, 1990, Iraqi troops moved into Kuwait and 541,000 U.S. forces were deployed to the Gulf.

"There is substantial evidence to suggest that Bush knew Harken was in dire straits in the weeks before he sold the $848,560 of Harken stock," asserted U.S. News & World Report. The magazine noted Harken appointed Junior to a 'fairness committee' to study possible economic restructuring of the company. Junior worked closely with financial advisers from Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Company, who concluded "only drastic action could save Harken." Yet, this failure skated because his President father had appointed the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission."
