Jimmy Carter was far from a sound businessman as he was more a typical political operative exploiting a system he fostered.
His peanut farm was 'prosperous' primarily because of the huge and steady government subsidies he sucked in for ages.
I truly never bought the
George W. Bush was a successful businessman story foisted on people by the idiot loser Karl Rove.
Bush became managing partner of the Texas Rangers soon after Pappy Bush became President. Nice to have a father in high places. His personal cash contribution to the group that bought the Rangers was less than $800,000.
His oil exploration companies were 'supported' by many of the partners and friends from Pappy Bush's (there goes daddy again) Zapata Energy days.
Did anyone say crony capitalism? Yes. I did.
Carter was an abject failure before, during and after his Presidency.
Bush's presidency will never ever be judged objectively by the criminal main stream press, but his eight years were a lot more successful than anyone would ever give him credit.
Can anyone imagine a Hillary, a Carter, a Kerry, an Obama or a Biden as president when Sept. 11, 2001 happened?
On that event alone we should all be thankful for G.W. Bush.
