Um, okayyy. Now tell us what you really think.

From bad attitudes, comes this:
Yoshi Tsurumi (Professor of International Business, Baruch College, the City University of New York)

...At Harvard Business School, thirty years ago, George Bush was a student of mine. I still vividly remember him. In my class, he declared that "people are poor because they are lazy." He was opposed to labor unions, social security, environmental protection, Medicare, and public schools. To him, the antitrust watch dog, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Securities Exchange Commission were unnecessary hindrances to "free market competition." To him, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal was "socialism." ...President Bush and his brain, Karl Rove, are leading a radical revolution of destroying all the democratic political, social, judiciary, and economic institutions that both Democrats and moderate Republicans had built together since Roosevelt's New Deal.
Oh dear. 30-years gone and Tsurumi's memory of Bush is still vivid? Wonder if George remembers the difference between Effective Annual Rate and APR? Something tells me Paul O'Neill isn't betting the farm on it.
