Just so you know:

*I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history.


*I've made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history.

*I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any market in any country in the history of the world.

*I have created the largest government department bureaucracy in the history of the United States, called the "Bureau of Homeland Security"(only one letter away from BS).

*I am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government.


*I took the world's sympathy for the US after 9/11, and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).

3. Even Georgie couldn't do this
*I signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution than any other US president in history.

The constitution can only be amended by three quarters vote of Congresss and two thirds of the States ratifying it by popular vote.

9. i figure that's referring to one of two things.....
(1) that there are lots of things that can have same the EFFECT as amendments, but are not actually amendments. Certain SCOTUS judgements have been like this, I believe. On this line of thought, the claim being made is that Bush did a lot of stuff having amendment-like effects.

(2) that Bush has proposed and/or supported a lot of actual amendments - flag burning/anti gay/anti abortion/etc...

7. recommendation letter for *
You ask me for my opinion of George W. Bush who has applied for a position in your department. I cannot recommend him too highly nor say enough good things about him. There is no other person with whom I can adequately compare him. His work history is the sort you don’t expect to see nowadays and in it he has clearly demonstrated his complete capabilities. The depth of his knowledge will surprise you. You will be amazed at the quantity and quality of the questions he asks. You will indeed be fortunate if you can get him to work for you.
