Nothing says T-Man like a silver spoon Yale guy.
I wonder can anyone who goes to an Ivy League college be a T-Man? Do only those who went to a lesser college qualify?
Are we also to exclude all those born into money?
Just curious what one has to do with the other.
I don’t its the fact that he went to Yale that he is talking about. The man got into yale because his daddy got him in there and not because he worked hard and got good grades. Hell the man got gentlemen Cs in Yale. From what I hear from Yale student, all that means is he showed up to class but never did any work.
Just like how he was accepted to the Air national guard. I had better qualifications for the Air Force Acedemy and was refused. Yet this guy gets to fly a jet.
If the guy worked hard and got into college on his own that wouldn
t be an issue. But Bush has had his father holding his hand the whole time.
To bad we got F’d and Bush sr is no longer holding his son hand. If Bush sr. was in office this whole situation would have turned alot different and I imagine alot better.

I guess we all admire those who “do it on their own.” But…if you think about it the “rich kid” has challenges of his own.
When you are given an advantage in life what do you do with it? Do you not take it? Does anyone with an advantage over another give that advantage up just so they can be on equal footing with their competition?
If you won the lottery tommorow would you give it all away thinking that you didn’t want an unfair financial advantage over others? If you were trying to get a job and your uncle happened to be a higher up in the company would you use his name on your resume? Would you ask him to speak for you? Of course you would, and so would the rest of us.
I think life is about trying to succeed by using every advantage moral and legal at our disposal (some even go beyond this-one only has to look at steroid use…one more advantage).
Holding either President Bush’s wealth or power against him is foolish. The same with Sen. Kerry and most of the rest of Congress for that matter (there are exceptions).
You maximize your own opportunities as best you can. We all do it at every level. Let’s not be jealous of those who are born with more opportunities than we are. Basically, you play with the hand that you are dealt!
