Someone (we know who) is a moron trying to “idealize” Bush’s resume without analyzing a background.
His father was a WWII hero and CIA director. That’s how Bush got a slot in the National Guard as a jet fighter pilot instead of being slotted for Vietnam.
next issue:
Bush got to invest in the Rangers after he lost his dad’s money in the oil fields of Midland because of the Bush name. I lived in Dallas at the time and it was pretty evident that he ran the Rangers into the ground (but made money due to the Ballpark in Arlington)–which was funded before he joined the investment group
next issue:
Harvard. How many Harvard MBAs do you know that get in with C averages? I know quite a few and none of them had gentlemen Cs in undergrad nor are they professed alcoholics. Hint: that’s called a legacy admission.
Bush’s background is a perfect example of the kind of preferential treatment that wealthy donors get in (a) politics, (b) military, (c) academics and (d) government, etc. It’s the American way, I have no complaints. Money greases the wheel.
But it’s LAUGHABLE to attempt to attribute Bush’s career to “talent” when it’s a template for the advantages of wealth.
