6. DESPITE A 135 UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AMONG THOSE AGED 16-24, BUSH PROPOSED TO ELIMINATE YOUTH OPPURTUNITY GRANTS- A PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES JOB TRAINING TO THE NATION?S YOUTH. A 225 MILLION PROGRAM IN 2002 IS NOW BEING DONE WITH TO HAVE MORE MONEY FOR IRAQ.
7. HE CUT FUNDING FOR 375,000 LOW INCOME COLLEGESTUDENTS AND REDUCED PELL GRANTS. PELL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN REDUCED FOR 1.5 MILLION STUDENTS? IT?S SAFE TO SAY THAT THE BUSH DAUGHTERS AREN?T ELIGIBLE FOR ANY OF THIS FINANCIAL AID, SO THIS WON?T EFFECT THE OPPULENT LIVES OF ANYONE HE KNOWS.

NOT EVEN THE SANCTITY OF OUR NATIONAL BIRD CAN COMPETE WITH THE BUSH CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTRIBUTIONS CONTRIBUTED BY THE FOREST INDUSTRY.
29. HE HAS TAKEN MORE VACATION THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT. HE HAS TAKEN 10 MONTHS IN TOTAL. REMEMBER THIS IS HIS FIFTH YEAR.
30. HE PULLED OUT OF THE KYOTO AGREEMENT ON GLOBAL WARMING, WHICH HAD BEEN AGREED UPON BY 178 OTHER COUNTRIES.
31. BUSH JR. IS ENDORSED BU FUNDAMENTALIST, PAT ROBERTSON WHO CLAIMS THAT GOD TOLD HIM BUSH WOULD WIN RE-ELECTION AND THAT ?IT DOESN?T MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHAT BUSH DOES BECAUSE GOD IS BLESSING HIM.?

THIS IS THE VIEW SHARED BY SOME OTHER COUNTRIES SUCH AS IRAN, IRAQ, SUDAN, LIBYA, SYRIA, AND THE VATICAN. IT SEEMS THAT HIS POLICY OF, "NO CHILD SHALL BE LEFT BEHIND" HAS A WHOLE NEW MEANING.
50. HE WOULDN'T SIGN THE KYOTO PROTOCOL AGREEMENT ON GLOBAL WARMING, WHICH WAS ULTIMATELY SIGNED BY 178 OTHER COUNTRIES. HE ALSO TOLD THE ENTIRE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY THAT HE WOULD LISTEN TO THEIR ARGUMENTS, BUT HE WOULD NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, EFFECTIVELY TREATING EUROPE LIKE AN 8 YEAR OLD CHILD. THIS MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH WHY MOST OF THE WORLD HATES THE US.
51. HE REJECTED AN INTERNATIONAL ACCORD TO ENFORCE THE 1972 TREATY BANNING GERM WARFARE. OF COURSE THAT WOULD MEAN THAT THE US WOULD HAVE TO STOP PRODUCING BIOLOGICAL AGENTS TOO.
