Wow. A failed student? He went to a prestigious university and got higher grades than the person who ran against him. A failed soldier? He served during Vietnam and did not dodge the draft or run out of the country. Failed oil man? He made millions on oil. Sounds like you are jealous of him. Failed President? He has stopped any new terror attacks on US soil since 911. Failed Human being? Wow a liberal who blasts humans. You must have been such a kind and compassionate teacher when you were in the classroom.

Every one of those contentions is true. Bush was a "legacy" admission to Yale, and while did all right, what did he DO with his education? What intellectual growth did he ever demonstrate in his entire life? To me, that's a failed student.

Served during Vietnam??? He hid in a National Guard unit. His assignment to it WAS ARRANGED BY HIS FAMILY. He specifically indicated on a form which is in the public domain that he DID NOT WANT TO SERVE IN VIETNAM. He was grounded for disciplinary reasons. He left early. Just how in the hell is that SERVING???

Bush LOST millions in the oil business. If you can bother to stir yourself to check, look it up. His family had to bail him out not once but twice.

About 70% of your fellow Americans DO think he's failed, as our country is mired in debt and an endless war bungled by your hero.

And yes, he is a failed human. A dry drunk who has never confronted the reasons for his alcoholism. Someone who sanctions torture against his fellow humans. A rigid person incapable of admitting any error. I call that a failed human.

And yes, I was a kind and compassionate teacher. But then again, if I'd had an arrogant little self-entitled prick like George W. Bush in one of my classes, I might not have been.
