George W. Bush To Keynote Cayman Islands Investment Conference
Not entirely the party's message of the week.
Former President George W. Bush is set to deliver the keynote address at the Cayman Alternative Investment Summit on Grand Cayman just a few days before the election.
The conference will feature Bush as the keynote speaker on the first night, and British billionaire Sir Richard Branson on the second night.
"Institutional investors, private investors, asset allocators, fund managers, service providers, academics and regulators will benefit from this discussion on the future of the industry," reads to the FAQ section of the website.
The timing of the conference could land awkwardly during an election season that's been marked by speculation about Mitt Romney's finances, particularly his offshore investments in tax havens like the Cayman Islands.

Good times.

(147 posts)Is that he's been in the speech circuit almost nonstop. He's just out of sight out of mind from the Main stream media. So perception wise, it would seem he moved out of the spotlight out of respect for the damage he did (understatement), and to kind of reflect. In reality I read that he has been charging a quarter of a mil for speaking engagements and has been crisscrossing the country since leaving office making a fortune.
