Lets Talk....

Since there has been so much discussion of late regarding Senator Kerry's actions during the 1970s, I was wondering if we could start examining what the current president was doing during the 1970s. And to be honest I really have no idea what Bush was doing, but its only fair if we compare and contrast the two candidates equally. So feel free to comment and fill me in, on what George W. was up to???

I'll do some research and check back in later.

Update: Here an excerpt from a Washington Post article that chronicles Bush's life in the early seventies,

"Bush maintains that he joined the National Guard not to avoid service in Vietnam but because he wanted to be a fighter pilot. Rather than be drafted and serve in the infantry – an assignment Bush has acknowledged he did not want – he agreed to spend almost two years in flight training and another four years in part-time service.

That commitment, in turn, was to frame a period of aimlessness and drift that Bush now calls his "nomadic" years: As the war and the youth culture of the 1960s rocked America, Bush partied and dated with gusto, dabbled half-heartedly in business and politics, and flew jets part time. Apart from his Guard commitment, he was unemployed for stretches that lasted for months. His last job before he returned to the East to attend Harvard Business School, as a social worker helping poor children, was arranged by his father after George W. drunkenly confronted him one night and challenged him to a fight.

Even after returning to the elite classrooms of the Ivy League, Bush seemed adrift compared with his classmates. But Harvard offered the beginnings of a self-discipline – his mother called it "structure" – that was to propel him back to Texas with an ambition to build his own future..."
