Because we didn’t have a businessman as POTUS from 2000-2008. Really.

Weeeellll…. if bankrupting four businesses in a row counts as a “businessman”. (two of them were oil companies. One of them, he sold all his stock the week before information was released how worthless it was… the results of the SEC investigation *assured* us it wasn’t insider trading. And since the other stockholders [all of them friends of his dad, half of them Saudi] didn’t complain, who’s to say it wasn’t totally legitimate?)

He didn’t bankrupt the Rangers; he got them a great deal from the city on their snazzy new stadium, made a bunch of bunch of money for the team. Cost the city a bundle, but let’s not mention that. And we also won’t mention that he traded away Sammy Sosa.
