George W. Bush: White House
built 656 days ago
Bush let Microsoft get away with establishing a monopolistic control over the single greatest source of personal and systematic power in the coming decades: The computer. Just when the federal government was poised to gain victory in its ongoing anti-trust lawsuit against Microsoft, George W. Bush came to occupy the White House, and ordered the lawsuit to be abandoned. Microsoft was instead allowed to settle with the federal government, in a sweetheart deal.
George W. has the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune in the sign of Libra, all in his Third Houseof communications, perception and understanding. He intellectualizes his feelings (Moon in the Third) all the while idealizing grand schemes (Neptune, Jupiter). He comes across as a "fuzzy thinker” and a dreamer (Neptune); but most importantly, though unconsciously perhaps, he is dangerously easily deceived and capable himself of deception.

Heading into August 2001, Bush spent less than two-thirds of his days actually working. Then the White House staff announced that he was about to head off to Crawford for a 31-day vacation. It would have been the single longest holiday in Presidential history, but after the news media started sharing this fact with the public, Dubya's people scaled it back by a week so he wouldn't take the record from President Richard Nixon (30 consecutive days).

Grandlady Barbara Bush revealed last night that Engaged First Twin Jenna Bush is at the White House right now with “15 girlfriends” having a Wedding Shower. Let’s hope President George doesn’t absent-mindedly wander in while the mimosa-drunk gals are trying out the novelty dildos! [Washington Post]

On July 25, 2000, Bush surprised some observers by asking Halliburton Corporation chief executive officer Dick Cheney, a former White House Chief of Staff, U.S. Representative and Secretary of Defense, to be his Vice Presidential running mate. Cheney was then serving as head of Bush's Vice-Presidential search committee.
Bush has presided over a period of general economic growth. This is partially due to changes in the stock market that lead to a record high in 2007. Corporations show profits growing by double digits growth.[16] Even the working class is benefiting from the Bush economy, as unemployment hits an all time low in March 2007.[17] Bush signed into law a minimum wage increase, one of the platforms for the Democrats in the 2006 Congressional elections, after the House and Senate included Bush's request of provisions for small-business tax breaks.[18][19] Tax policies have been favorable to reducing the Capital Gains Tax, with a subsequent surge in investment.
