President Bush on Corporate Responsibility!

This is a great 2 1/2 minute video somebody on YouTube created!!! Oh the IRONY... and most appropriate for my topic today.

An HPer referred me to the actual speech President George W. Bush gave at the Regent Wall Street Hotel in New York regarding Corporate Responsibility! Oh and I forgot to mention, he gave this speech on July 9, 2002. We can now see the results of his credibility. WOW! Unbelievable... You can click here to read, watch and listen to Bush's take on this subject.

Here are a few excerpts I've taken from his speech directly from "The White House" WEBSITE!

I've come to the financial capital of the world to speak of a serious challenge to our financial markets, and to the confidence on which they rest. The misdeeds now being uncovered in some quarters of corporate America are threatening the financial well-being of many workers and many investors. At this moment, America's greatest economic need is higher ethical standards -- standards enforced by strict laws and upheld by responsible business leaders.

The lure of heady profits of the late 1990s spawned abuses and excesses. With strict enforcement and higher ethical standards, we must usher in a new era of integrity in corporate America.

The American economy -- our economy -- is built on confidence. The conviction that our free enterprise system will continue to be the most powerful and most promising in the world. That confidence is well-placed. After all, American technology is the most advanced in the world. Our universities attract the talent of the world. Our workers and ranchers and farmers can compete with anyone in the world. Our society rewards hard work and honest ambition, bringing people to our shores from all around the world who share those values. The American economy is the most creative and enterprising and productive system ever devised. (Applause.)

Yeah Okay... Well with all that being said, President Bush, it would be nice if your actions reflected even an ounce of your words obviously written by your paid staff member! The United States is HEMORRHAGING President Bush and all "We The People" have been hearing you confidently say is that this country is doing GREAT... everything is GREAT! You are supposed to be OUR President/Leader too and NOT just a select few!!! Shame on you Mr. President!
