When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

This is about invisible brother Neil Bush who cost the taxpayers about $1.3 billion during his father's presidency.
More recently he dumped his wife, Sharon Bush, who gave up her teaching career and remained a loyal Republican stay-at-home spouse for 22 years (CBS news). You might imagine the Bush family would see to it that she got a big settlement and lifetime income, but not so. The family home is being sold to pay off her husband's debts and she gets about $30k a year for a few years until the kids reach 18 -- then it's hasta la vista, Sharon! (They love that phrase)

Bush family sleaze
Bush wasn't just an average S&L exec drawing a big salary and recklessly pushing a federally insured institution beyond its lending limits. As a director of a failing thrift in Denver, Bush voted to approve $100 million in what were ultimately bad loans to two of his business partners. And in voting for the loans, he failed to inform fellow board members at Silverado Savings & Loan that the loan applicants were his business partners . -- The Austin Chronicle, March 2001
