Bush's Big Score
"Bush has insisted that he "wasn't aware of the details" of the land condemnations. But on October 27, 1990, Bush was quoted in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about the development plans for the acreage around the stadium. "The idea of making a land play, absolutely, to plunk the field down in the middle of a big piece of land, that's kind of always been the strategy," Bush said. In other words, while Bush didn't know the details regarding the condemnation of the Matheses' property, he did plan to exploit their property for his personal benefit."
The life of George W. Bush - "I wasn't aware of..."
No wonder he was tagged with the reputation of being a numb..... ah.... not real aware.
Something that seems to jump out in the compiled stories is the dates of the stories. All prior to his Governor runs, none around the time of his pres run. Even the WSJ and the American Spec. were digging it out back then, but then were mostly silent for the next Dynasty Placement. Seems like some Powerful Messages were sent for his National run, doesn't it? "Lay OFF", being the idea.
It's just an impression to me.
"There are many pockets in a politician's coat, and sometimes the more subtle pockets are the ones people prefer," said Larry Makinson, executive director at the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan research group in Washington. "What you've really got to be careful about is that someday, if he becomes president, these people don't cash in their chips and reap a windfall at the expense of the American public."
Mr. Makinson cited first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's windfall in cattle futures before her husband's election as president."
