OK .. we all remember another Bush who had his fingers in the Silverado Savings and Loan where he helped syphon off millions before the collaps.
At a Florida rally today ... It's kind of erie, today Leman goes Bankrupt because it does the stock market drops and Bush speaks in support of McCain ...*sigh*
North .. humm, isn't that were the Bush Headquarters is... Kennebunkport Maine.Sitting behind McCain was former Gov. Jeb Bush, who was hired a year ago by Lehman Brothers as a financial consultant. As governor, Bush served on the three-member State Board of Administration that agreed to let the state's retirement fund buy a series of mortgage-backed securities from Lehman Brothers that turned out to be troubled. The subsequent steep drop in value prompted a $9 billion run on the fund last December by local governments who had invested their money in the SBA managed fund. Lehman also manages two funds for the SBA, which is also heavily invested in some Lehman securities.
Bush spoke to the crowd and offered three reasons why they should elect McCain to replace his brother in office: McCain's ''zeal for reform,'' he ``won't coddle dictators and McCain ``has been tested.''
''Who knows what will come in the next eight years,'' Bush said. ``But I want someone who is president of the United States whose compass points north.''
Bush refused to make himself available to reporters.
So Jeb (the smart one according to Babs) gives away state funds to Leman while the housing market is tanking, Lehman goes belly up today and Jeb is calling McCain a reformer, McCain who supported the Bush administrations easing of banking regulations with no oversight ..
If it weren't so damn sick I'd be laughing ... But McCain is "straight talking" ..
