What I'm saying is this: it's accepted fact amongst the HBS-type circles that Bush single-handedly destroyed 4 businesses through risky or just plain stupid maneuvers. Further, the millions he's currently made are from the Rangers and that was basically a gift engineered to look like income by a guy who wanted a patsy in Austin. Either way, however, people believe what they want to. But compare him to, say, Mitt Romney. Mitt's got a similar education, but TONS of business credibility and a loooonnnggg list of successes. Good business people have that. But, people spin it the way they like rather than the way it is. I'll tell you this: even those that like Bush, but who are aware of his past business dealings, say things like, "Well, he's better politician." or "he's a good salesman" Which he is. He's got a good down home folksie appeal that a lot of people like. He's also got good family connections, and that doesn't hurt. But he never wanted to be a salesman, he wanted to be a leader and he failed at it. He also wanted to be a politician and he did that to great success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:209798 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
