"The House appropriations committee granted President Bush's request to pay Vice President Cheney's official-residence electric bill out of the Navy's budget. The energy bill for the residence, which was actually owned by the Navy, had risen to an unsightly amount of 6,000 a year. The committee didn't suggest that Cheney turn off the lights whenever he left a room." -- July 17, 2001.

george-w-bush-leaves-office1Bush is well known for his stupid comments, but Where did one get such insperation we ask ourselves?

As a child, Bush attended public schools in Midland, Texas until the family moved to Houston after he completed seventh grade. He then went to The Kinkaid School, a prep school in Houston, for two years.

Bush finished his high school years at Phillips Academy, a boarding school (then all-male) in Andover, Massachusetts, where he played baseball and during his senior year was the head cheerleader. Bush attended Yale University from 1964 to 1968, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in history. During this time, he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, being elected the fraternity’s president during his senior year. Bush also became a member of the secretive Skull and Bones society as a college senior. He characterized himself as an average student.

Beginning in the fall of 1973, Bush attended the Harvard Business School, where he earned an MBA. He is the only U.S. President to have earned an MBA.
