I used to have a handy link to a nice refutation of "the resume". I am sure that if you really care, do a search on A2K and you will find it. It was rather detailed.

Are you sure its exactly the same resume ?


How alike does it have to be to be repetitious? You are correct, not much at all.


It is obviously very popular Laughing


True dat, they are a newbies delight.

It would prolly have to be revised since every newbie shows up with a revised resume, peeing on our head and telling us it's rain...oh and 'this resume is so different'.

This is fascinating:

Quote:
Kennedy - Lincoln Similarities
Here's a little part of US history which makes you wonder
Coincidence?

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White
House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both were shot in the head.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners.

Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth,was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald,was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are comprised of fifteen letters

Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker,
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.



And, this is just plain riveting:

Quote:
Bush is a Republican.
Lincoln was a Republican, and the first Republican to be elected President.

Bush has strong ties to the South. He owns a ranch in Texas, his brother is Governor of Florida, and his father owns a residence in Houston.
Lincoln had strong ties to the South. He was born in Kentucky, as was his wife, and he maintained close ties with friends in that state throughout his life.

Neither Bush nor Lincoln was elected to the presidency by a majority of the popular vote

Both Bush and Lincoln chose seasoned men as their Secretaries of State. Lincoln chose William Seward, former Governor of NY. Bush chose Colin Powell, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Bush took few trips outside the United States prior to his presidency.
Lincoln had no international experience. His only trip outside American borders was to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

Both Bush and Lincoln made plain statements advocating racial and religious tolerance, Bush made strong statements about anti-Muslim bigotry just after 9/11; he repudiating Trent Lott's comments about Strom Thurman. At one point in cabinet discussions after 9/11, Attorney-general Ashcroft stated: "We're thinking about a national neighborhood watch system." People would call in to report strange behavior. The President replied: "Make sure you don't launch an anti-Arab backlash in this country." (Woodward, p. 169) Lincoln became an outspoken opponent of slavery early in his political career and came to national prominence opposing its spread in the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

Lincoln often expressed a fatalistic attitude about his personal safety. "I shall continue till my work is done, and no earthly power can prevent it." For Lincoln, it was a sense of destiny. "What is to be will be," he often said.
Bush: "If it's meant to be, it's going to happen. And therefore there's no need to try to hide from a terrorist." (Woodward, p. 172)

Lincoln could use graphic language. In a message to General Grant, he wrote: "Hold on with a bull-dog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible." (Griessman, p. 38)
Bush to Vice President Chaney: "We're going to find out who did this, and we're going to kick their asses." (Woodward, p. 18)

Bush has been actively involved in athletics. He never was a varsity player like his father, but he loves physical activity, and is an avid jogger. He once owned a stake in the Texas Rangers.
Lincoln was a champion wrestler, and liked to play an early version of baseball.

Bush is a Bible reader, and frequently acknowledges the importance of God's will in human affairs and in his personal life. (Frum, pp. 3,4) Lincoln was a Bible reader and acknowledged the role of Divine Providence in human affairs.

The television satirists and the political cartoonists all made fun of Clinton.

Many of the cartoonists admit to being liberal. They also admit to satirizing Clinton. They don't shirk from drawing Ted Kennedy in an unflattering way.

Why? Because these people recognize the role satire plays in a democracy.

Remember, a sense of humor is one of the classic signifiers of intelligence.

The George W. Bush Resume

Education (highlights):
*
With my daddy's help, I got into exclusive Andover, where I was a mediocre student.
*
Was in the bottom 20 percent of students as a freshman at Yale, where I also joined the secret Skull and Bones society.
*
Applied to the University of Texas Law School and was rejected.

Past work experience:
*
Ran for congress and lost.
*
Served for a decade on the board of a company that financed several R-rated slasher B movies.
*
Bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas, so the company went bankrupt. Sold all my stock just in the nick of time to a wealthy Saudi friend of my father.
*
Bought a small portion of the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that forcibly took land using eminent domain and taxpayer money. Most notable decision: Traded Sammy Sosa to the White Sox for Harold Baines. Most notable profiteering: Parlayed a $605K loan into a $14.9 Million profit using taxpayer money and eminent domain laws to evict homeowners, obtain land and increase the value of the shares in the Texas Rangers.

Accomplishments While Governor of Texas (1995-2000):
*
Relaxed pollution laws for power and oil companies (I "grandfathered" the dirtiest coal burning power plants, making them exempt from clean air laws, for example) and made Texas the most polluted state in the Union, in 1999. The same year, Houston had the "highest ozone level reading in the nation", and was second most ozone-polluted city in the country from 1997 through 1999.
*
Slashed taxes, reduced state revenue to the point of bankruptcy and put the Texas government in debt for billions in borrowed money, the interest for which is now paid for by the Texas taxpayer.
*
Set a record for the most executions by any Governor in American history and became famous for publicly mocking Faye Tucker, a Christian female death row inmate, for her clemency plea before she was executed.
*
Appointed US President, on a questionable decision by a highly partisan Supreme Court, after losing the popular vote by over 500,000 votes.

Accomplishments While US President (2001-present):
*
Attacked and invaded two countries so far, losing more US soldiers after I claimed "Mission Accomplished" than the total number who were killed during full combat operations in both wars combined.
*
Spent the largest surplus in the history of the country and nearly bankrupted the treasury.
*
Shattered records for the biggest annual deficit in history.
*
Presided over all time economic record for most private bankruptcies filed during any Presidency, beating the previous record, which was set during the depression years.
*
Set all-time record for biggest loss of value in the history of the stock market during any Presidency.
*
Helped "push" through Congress and then signed into law the largest overtime pay cut in US history, despite the fact that 3 out of 4 Americans opposed it.
*
First President in US history to enter office with a criminal record.
*
First year in office set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any President in US history.
*
After taking the entire month of August 2001 off for vacation, presided over the worst security failure in US history, the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
*
Set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips of any President in US history.
*
In my first three years in office over 3.3 million Americans lost their jobs.
*
Presided over the all-time U.S. record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.
*
Set the record for the fewest amount of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.
*
Presided over perhaps the biggest energy crisis in US history and refused to intervene when ENRON corruption was revealed and many states faced bankruptcy.
*
Presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history and refused to use the national reserves as past presidents have.
*
Cut healthcare benefits for war veterans while posing on aircraft carriers in a flight suit and despite praising the troops at every opportunity.
*
Inspired the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously take to the streets to protest a US decision to go to war (15 million people).
*
My administration is the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history, surpassing the secrecy of the Nixon administration at its darkest moments.
*
Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (the 'poorest' multi-millionaire, Condoleeza Rice, had a Chevron oil tanker named after her).
*
Presided over the worst fiscal crisis to hit all 50 states of the Union since World War II.
*
Presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud (ENRON, WorldCom, Global Crossing) of any market in any country in history.
*
First President in US history to order an unprovoked attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation.
*
First President in US history to start a war against the will of the United Nations and the world community.
*
Created the largest new government bureaucracy (Department of Homeland Security) in the history of the United States.
*
Set the all-time record for biggest annual budget spending increases, more than any President in US history.
*
First President in US history to have the United Nations remove the US from the human rights commission.
*
Along with my Attorney General, John Ashcroft, I have eroded the civil liberties of American citizens more than at any other time in US history.
*
After the 9/11 attacks, I lobbied for and signed into law the "rush job" Patriot Act, which legalized "Big Brother-like" surveillance of US citizens for the first time in history.
*
I disregard states rights when it suits me, but I always run for office on a platform that holds states rights above federal rights.
*
I've imprisoned more sick people for growing and smoking medicinal Cannabis than any other president, in violation of states rights, of course, and against the wishes of the states and local voters.
*
Withdrew from the World Court (International Court of Justice) and I refuse to recognize it unless it gives my administration, the US and global corporations special immunity.
*
I have kept 660 prisoners of war in Guantanamo Bay for two years without charging any of them. I've cleverly classified them as "enemy combatants", thereby allowing me to circumvent the Geneva Convention when I feel like it.
*
All-time US (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.
*
My personal friend and biggest lifetime campaign contributor presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).
*
Instead of springing into action as Commander in Chief after I learned that the US was under attack on 9/11, I read a book called 'The Pet Goat' to schoolchildren for a while so I wouldn't alarm them.
*
First US President to establish a secret shadow government, and I did this without the knowledge or participation of the opposition parties in congress.
*
Squandered world sympathy for the US after 9/11, and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).
*
With a policy of 'disengagement' and open public support for alleged war criminal, Ariel Sharon, allowed and condoned the most hostile Israeli-Palestine relations in at least 30 years.
*
First US President in history to have a majority of the people of Europe view the US as the biggest threat to world peace and stability.
*
First US President in history to have the people of South Korea feel more threatened by the US than their immediate neighbor, North Korea.
*
Failed to fulfill my pledge to get Osama Bin Laden 'dead or alive'. Additionally, I have failed to bring to justice anyone else responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
*
Failed to capture the anthrax suspect(s) who tried to murder the leaders of our country at the United States Capital building.
*
After intense pressure from families of 9/11 victims and others, I finally consented to a public 9/11 investigation over a year after the attacks. But my first nominee to head the Commission, Henry Kissinger, resigned because of his secret ties to Middle Eastern business interests.
*
In a little over two years created the most divided country in decades, possibly the most divided the US has ever been since the civil war.
*
Entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less than two years turned every economic category into a sharply downward trend.
*
Did nothing about the failing US power grid during the first two years of my presidency, despite repeated warnings, and later presided over the largest total power blackout in US history that incapacitated several states and part of Canada.
*
In order to prevent financing abortions in China, I cut off all $34 million of aid to the U.N. Population Fund, which was also used to provide medical care to teenagers with defective pregnancies.
*
I have done a lot to weaken environment regulations in America. My administration has: Rolled back clean air standards; broken a promise to address global warming; slowed the clean up of toxic waste dumps while making taxpayers foot the bill; changed regulations to allow more arsenic in tap water; advocated a forest policy that will vastly increase timber cutting; cut back protections for endangered species; fought for oil drilling in the pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge; allowed America's dirtiest power plants to keep polluting; opposed renewable energy and reversed course on energy efficiency; and given key positions in the White House to former energy executives and lobbyists. Records and References:


*
At least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available).
*
My daddy pulled strings to get me into the Air National Guard and make sure I didn't have to serve abroad during the Vietnam war, and then I went AWOL and deserted the military during wartime, for which I was not punished.
*
I've never taken drug tests and I've been evasive about whether I've used any illegal drugs or not.
*
All records of any SEC investigations into my insider trading or bankrupt companies are sealed and unavailable for public view.
*
Any records or minutes from meetings I (or my VP) attended regarding public energy policy are sealed and unavailable for public review.
*
For personal references please speak to my daddy or uncle James Baker (they can be reached at their offices of the secretive Carlyle Group, which has ties to the family of Osama Bin Laden).
