A Bush Brings Down Lehman Brothers… Anything They Touch Becomes Shit
Posted by BuelahMan on September 21, 2008
EM at The Grievance Project sent this to me the other day and I need to share, because this is the first and only time I have heard this mentioned. The Bush Family has been involved with countless banking failures and business losses (or theft.. and many other types of dubious behavior).
One Bush was involved with financing the Nazi war machine. Another Bush introduced the death knell “New World Order” and “NAFTA” to us. Dubya has made it possible to totally ravage our entire economy and somehow brainwash half of America. One Bush brother (Marvin) was in charge of Security at the World Trade Centers (convenient, huh?) and “Jeb” and “Dad” tag-teamed Big Money by being instrumental in the break down of one of the world’s oldest banking institutes.
The family is either the unluckiest bunch or the most evil. I bet evil.
Jeb is apparently the most vile and corrupt of the group (at least of those still alive).
What is Jeb Bush’s role in the Lehman Brothers meltdown?
Lehman Brothers was founded in 1850. The firm managed to get through the Civil War, WWI, and WWII, the Great Depression, and the attacks of September 11, 2001. Yet after hiring Jeb Bush in late August of 2007, the firm suddenly goes belly up in a year. It also should be noted that in 2006, George H. Walker IV was also hired by Lehman Brothers.
Now, let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we?
Neil Bush: The brother of the current president, son of the elder Bush, and another do-nothing embezzler was part of yet another huge financial meltdown. This was known as the Savings and Loan scandal (S&L). From Salon:
Long before that, in the late 1980s, Neil Bush made bigger news for his controversial role as a director of Silverado Savings and Loan, which collapsed and cost taxpayers roughly $1 billion. (Federal regulators accused Bush of various conflicts of interests, but he was never charged. A civil suit against Bush and other Silverado officers was later settled for $26.5 million.)
Also from WaPo, a great summary of Neil’s sleazy life, including the S&L scandal:
In the late ’80s and early ’90s, Bush embarrassed his father, George H.W. Bush, with his shady dealings as a board member of the infamous Silverado Savings and Loan, whose collapse cost taxpayers $1 billion.
Now back to Jeb:
From Mother Jones: Early Years, Medicaid fraud, his own S&L, and allegations of drugs:
After graduating from Texas University, Jeb Bush served a short apprenticeship at the Venezuelan branch of Texas Commerce Bank in Caracas before settling in Miami, in 1980, to work on his father’s unsuccessful primary bid against Ronald Reagan. Campaigning for Dad was hardly a paying job. But Jeb was about to learn that being one of George Bush’s sons means never having to circulate a résumé.
In the next few years, financial support flowed to Jeb through Miami’s right-wing Cuban community. Republican party politics and a series of business scandals — including Medicaid fraud and shady S&L deals — were inextricably intertwined. A former federal prosecutor told MJ that, when he looked into Jeb’s lucrative business dealings with a now-fugitive Cuban, he considered two possibilities — Jeb was either crooked or stupid. At the time, he concluded Jeb was merely stupid.
…
So, might it be possible that Jeb has some serious questions to answer about what he did at Lehman Brothers, who his “clients” were, and so forth? After all, setting up a hedge fund to launder or embezzle funds seems to be a family specialty

Jeb Bush is wickedly tainted… just like the whole lot of them.
