Sound like Bush got a 'finder's' fee. Nothing wrong with that. Getting people together to invest happens thousands of times a day. Seems Bush was fairly smart in the money aspect AND the governing aspect of our economy.

Dubya made his biggest financial hit by signing a $500,000 note when he joined the Texas Rangers and then selling out later for $15,000,000. Not one penny of his own money on the line.
His principal contribution was leading the campaign to stick the public with the tab for the largest capital outlay necessary to guarantee his financial success -- the cost of the new stadium.
He "trusted the people" to bankroll his risk investment, and he was right -- they did! Call it anything you want, but it aint capitalism. [/quote]
