Has republican George W. Bush ran the United States the way a capitalist would?

Question

By trying to profit as though we were his employees, and he was CEO. Using our military to capitalize on opportunities that would pad his pocket! Isn't this a "conflict of Interest".

Answer 1

All I know is Bush must be wondering why this guy Putin, whose "eyes'  he looked into and thereby gained understanding into his soul (yeah, Putin is former head of KGB)...

Oh God, I can't stop laughing......

Sorry, Bush pretty much underestimated Putin. Bush should have been fired right after Katrina.

Answer 2

"pad his pocket"?--got any proof?

this is just some bs without any proof.

EDIT:still no proof.....?

Answer 3

Do you have anything factual to ask about or are you just an intellectually challenged doofus who is only capable of spewing childish idiotic verbal garbage?

To answer your rant, no.  Here's your dunce cap.

**edit**

I'm not a supporter of Bush but you're just being retarded.  You've said absolutely nothing factual.  All you did was spew a childish insult based on nothing.  And you call Republicans cattle.  LOL Cattle, in the context you use it, go with whatever "team" they're rooting for; regardless of issues and facts, which is what you just did.  Can you say "mooo"?  Lay off the Kool-Aid bud.

**2nd edit**

LOL! Oh please.  Are you really this infantile? I bear no allegiance to any political party. Perhaps you are close-minded enough to ignore facts and issues and root for team Democrat, no matter what, but I am not.  And I only "degrade" you because you purposely make an imbecilic statement disguised as a question that exhibits no substance at all.  If you were serious and came to the table with facts and truth, I would either agree with you, or disagree and respectfully debate you in the same manner. Since you chose not to and decided to act like a nimrod, well that is the way you will be treated.  For the record, I did not vote for Bushy the 2nd time around.  Nor do I listen to Rush.  He is a bit over the top for me(does not surprise me you would assume something without the facts....yet again).  But none of that matters now.  While I do not think he has done that great of a job as president I would not go nearly as far as to say he would "bypass the well-being" of Americans to "input his own agenda", whatever that agenda you are attempting to conjure up may be.  You really do need to lay off the Kool-Aid home slice.  You would not want to make me richer if I do own stock in the company right? LOL!

Tim Shorrock!? LMAO! Oh my! That would be like me citing Micheal Savage or Rush Limbaugh as a source.  Have you done your research on Obama? I do not think you have.  Because if you did, and if you have any level of intelligence and are pro American, you would NEVER consider giving him your vote.

Answer 4

More like a Robber Baron would.  

""The futures market that serves as a price discovery mechanism for the physical oil market is open only to the elite. We trust these elites to determine the prices, but who are they? Who are the so-called experts? Hedge funds, oil companies, OPEC — the very people who profit from massive, consistent increases in prices. Notice a conflict of interest?

All an oil supplier would have to do to raise prices is buy up futures contracts.

It's not even that risky. Either the suppliers/investors risk an insignificant fraction of their gargantuan fortune, or they entice other investors to share the risk. With virtually unlimited resources and an actual tie to the underlying commodity, oil suppliers are in a far better position to accomplish this manipulation than, say, the Hunt brothers were during their attempt to corner the silver market in the 1970s. "

""The futures markets is a closed book that needs to be opened beyond price transparency to participant transparency. After each contract has expired, NYMEX and other exchanges should reveal the participants in each trade. Tear down the wall of anonymity, and long positions will, we believe, connect back to oil suppliers, who should theoretically be sellers of oil, not buyers. ""

Answer 5

He got us involved in an overseas war, gave billions in aid to Africa, and spent spent spent..

Sounds like a democrat to me.

Answer 6

Do you have a bank account that earns interest? If so, your a capitalist. Do you have a 401k that earns gains or interest, if so, your a capitalist. Do you have a retirement plan that earns gains or interest, if so, your a capitalist.

Name a poor Democrat in any government office?  Don't they invest their earnings?
