	Arbusto Energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A friend of the Bush family, Philip Uzielli, invested $1 million in 1982 in exchange for a 10% stake in the company, at a time when the whole company was valued at less than $400,000.
		Bush became Chairman and CEO of Spectrum 7.
		In January 1990 with the company in the same state as its previous incarnations, it was awarded a contract to drill for crude oil off the coast of Bahrain, a move that shocked industry insiders as Harken had no previous experience outside of the US or of drilling offshore.

		Bush somehow forgot to notify the Security and Exchange Commission of his transactions, stating at various times that the accountants had somehow neglected to send in the forms or, alternately, that the forms had indeed been submitted in a timely manner but the SEC had lost them.
		Bush had no experience whatsoever in the oil business but he was given money from his parents and automatically acquired a powerful support group of wealthy family friends, who subsequently became the principal financiers of his subsequent disastrous oil ventures.
		Bush also became a director, and he was paid as much as $120,000 in consulting fees plus $131,250 in stock options even though he spent much of 1987 and 1988 working on his father's presidential campaign.

	George Walker Bush - dKosopedia
		Congress decided not to contest or investigate the election, and Bush was installed as Executive on January 20th 2001 in 1 5 to 4 party line vote by the Supreme Court of the United States.
		Challenged by Democratic Senator John Kerry, Bush raised an unprecedented $175 million dollar war chest for the election of 2004, and unleashed his supporters in the press to accuse his political opponents of "treason" and "slander", and imply that they were supported by the Al Qaeda terrorist network.
		Bush inspired a range of political jokes on the Mishaps of George W. Bush and his mangling of the English Language which came to be known as Bushisms.

	Byron York on Bush & Business Career on National Review Online
		Since Bush was not only a member of the board of directors but was also on a committee assigned to study Harken's financial situation, his decision to sell a few weeks before the slide began led to accusations that he used insider knowledge to get out when the getting was good.
		Bush and the other owners asked the city to give them $135 million, by far the largest share of the cost of building the stadium — and they hinted they might take the team elsewhere if the city refused to pay.
		Bush and his defenders point out that the city's tax revenues have increased significantly, so much so that the bonds used to finance the stadium will be paid off early.

	SPACE.com -- FAQ: Bush's New Space Vision
		Bush was clear on this point: "The Crew Exploration Vehicle will be capable of ferrying astronauts and scientists to the Space Station after the shuttle is retired," he said in his speech.
		Bush said this is not a race but is a journey.
		The new vision is driven by exploration and a desire to achieve and, as Bush presented it, with only incremental increases for space agency funding.

		In his speech, Bush touted the new space exploration effort as an investment that "will be repaid many times over" in technological advancements.

	W.'s First Enron Connection: Update on the Bush-Enron Oil Deal

	village voice > news > Mondo Washington by James Ridgeway
		If Bush really wanted to address the situation, all he'd have to do is to pick up the phone, call Attorney General John Ashcroft, and ask him to launch an investigation of any one of these CEOs for fraud, conspiracy, theft, obstruction of justice, or perjury.
		Last week, the media revived a case from the early '90s, where it looks like Bush was involved in insider trading with the stock of an oil company of which he was an official.
		The ensuing investigation, handled by an agency whose director was a Bush appointee and whose general counsel was Bush the younger's own former attorney, was dropped.

		Under Bush's plan, the space shuttle fleet would be retired in 2010, after the completion of the international space station.

	SPACE.com -- ESA Officials Applaud Bush Exploration Plan
		Dordain said it was only natural that the United States, as the world's biggest investor in space exploration and the world's richest nation, set the timetable for lunar and, later on, Mars exploration.
		In an interview, Feustel-Buechl said that while questions remain on the management of the international space station after NASA's planned 2010 retirement of the space shuttle, early indications are that NASA does not intend to leave its partners in the lurch in the still-unfinished orbital complex.
		In a chart NASA produced to accompany Bush's remarks, the agency makes clear it intends to continue financing the station until 2016, well beyond the shuttle-retirement date.

	How Bush Deals With Grieving Military Families - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com
		President Bush was wearing "a huge smile," but his eyes were red and he looked drained by the time he got to the last widow, Crystal Owen, a third-grade schoolteacher who had lost her husband in Iraq.
		While he said he "sympathized" with Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, he refused to visit her peace vigil, set up in a tent in a drainage ditch outside the ranch, and sent two of his aides to talk to her instead.
		The conversations are closed to the press, and Bush does not like to talk about what goes on in these grieving sessions, though there have been hints.

	NASA - President Bush Offers New Vision For NASA
		"Our third goal," Bush said, "is to return to the moon by 2020, as the launching point for missions beyond." He proposed sending robotic probes to the lunar surface by 2008, with a human mission as early as 2015, "with the goal of living and working there for increasingly extended periods of time."
		Bush said lunar exploration could lead to new technologies or the harvesting of raw materials that might be turned into rocket fuel or breathable air.
		Bush closed by acknowledging the sacrifices of fallen astronauts and looking to the future.

	07/05/00 -- Bush backs oil exploration in Alaska wildlife refuge
		Presidential candidate George Bush, the one-time Midland oilman, wants the U.S. government to allow petroleum companies to hunt for oil and natural gas in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeast Alaska.
		Bush's response contrasts with that of his Democratic rival, Vice President Al Gore, who saw a political opportunity when gasoline prices soared past $2 a gallon in Chicago and other Midwestern cities.
		Together with state and tribal lands, where exploration is already permitted, the region could yield 5.7 billion to 16 billion barrels of recoverable oil, according to a 1998 U.S. Geological Survey study.

	Bush Family Value$
		In 1985, the same year that Jeb Bush was dialing for dollars to HHS officials for IMC, Jeb also hand-carried a letter from Guatemalan physician Dr. Mario Castejon to the White House -- directly to his father's office in the Executive Office Building.
		When President Bush speaks of the lack of family values he, of course, is referring to broken marriages, single mothers, and inner-city kids who join gangs and sell dope.
		It's certainly reasonable for candidate Bush to engage the public in a discussion of family values, to use his office as a bully pulpit on modern morals.

	How Bush CAN Gain the Support of Blacks [Free Republic]
		Connerly suggests that when more fl people recognize that the quality of their children's education, the crime-ridden neighborhoods in which many live and the high taxes they have to pay are more important than the remote possibility of being a victim of a hate crime, they'll seriously consider the Republican Party.
		As far as President Bush, he should just approach and work the agenda he has set forth which he believes will assist all Americans, regardless of color, at being the best they can be and do nothing special for any "special interest".
		It seems that Bush is expected to spend 80% of his time seeking 20% (or in this case 13%) of the vote.

	Bush Space Policy Responses
		The exploration and exploitation of space cannot and should not be the work of one country, but rather the work of all countries that can and wish to contribute.
		Bush looks good for thinking it, keeping it within a "reasonable" budget, but Congress gets to be the bad guys when the axe falls), there is an incredible opportunity for the space community to galvanize itself if it so chooses.
		Bush is not going to be the one to decide what gets cut and how to distribute that $11 billion of reprogrammed funds.

		Bruni covered Bush during the 2000 campaign, and subsequently at the White House, and had a lengthy period of time to get to observe and know the President first-hand.
		This is the first "insider account" to come from a Bush Administration official (of course, it caused him to get fllisted by the Bush folks for giving away inside secrets).
		He writes that Bush is "a good man who is not a weak man. He is impatient, quick to anger; sometimes glib, even dogmatic, often uncurious, and as a result ill-informed...

	The Space Review: Bush's exploration vision: the real cost
		This would, of course, not only involve canceling all of the exploration efforts which the President hopes to begin work on, but it would mean shutting down the space agency altogether.
		While NASA is still basically structured this way, there have been so many new additions, such as the Education Enterprise and the addition of the Exploration Systems Office, that the lines of authority and of actual control are so complex as to defy the strength of mortal men to decipher them.
		Space exploration and exploitation is a major driving force in advancing the frontiers of knowledge.

	The Space Review: A mandate for exploration?
		Bush can use his electoral mandate to push the Vision for Space Exploration, but must find ways to bring the public along if this vision is to become reality.
		The Vision for Space Exploration is as profoundly American in spirit as the Apollo project was, although no informed space advocate wants to see it used as a model.
		Bush’s supporters have been described as “American nationalists,” which is true, but they are not nationalists in the European or Asian “blut und boden’” (blood and soil) sense of the term.

	Bush Backs US Space Exploration
		President George W. Bush last Thursday threw his weight behind US space exploration as the Discovery shuttle was cleared to return to Earth following historic space repairs.
		Bush reiterated the US plan to retire the shuttle fleet by 2010 and replace it with a new vehicle capable of taking astronauts back to the Moon and eventually to Mars.
		The US leader, who spoke before NASA decided against another space repair, said he was confident NASA officials would make the "right decision" about whether to make another spacewalk to fix the shuttle.

		And I appreciate the Administrator working on getting that strategy in place, so that when the decision is made to finally get rid of this phase of exploration, we'll be ready to take on the new phase.
		And that's important for the American people to understand, that, one, exploration is important; two, there will be some good coming out of exploration; and, three, that we've got a new vision embraced by NASA and its pioneers."
