Contact with the economics professor of George W. at Harvard
Yesterday I reveiced a note and letters from Professor Yoshi Tsurumi, the economics professor of George W. at Harvard. Professor Tsurumi provided me two pieces of information that helped flush out the charecter of George W.
He provided copies of letters he wrote (published in The Scarsdale Inquirer) and one written by Nicholas D. Kristof of the New York Times . Mr. Kristof vetted the claims of Professor Tsurumi, who has been the victim of vicious attacks by the White House operatives.
The professor recalls a conversation with George W. one fall day in 1973. George was wearing a Guard jacket and the professor asked him how he got into the Guard. As we all know George W. answered with the "help of daddy and his good friends". The new information for me was a second statement by George W. when Pofessor Tsurumi asked George W. how he finished his National Gurad commitment so quickly. The answer was " I got an early honorable discharge". The professor asked how he was able to do that and George W. answered," oh daddy had a good friend".
The second issue gets even more to what George W. is about. Professor Tsurumi vividly remembers George W. because of his outrageous statements such as,
"people were poor because they were lazy"
He opposed labor unions, Social Security, Environmental Protection, Medicare and Public Schools. To him the Federal Trade Commission and SEC were unnecessary hindrances to "free market competion".
The policies of FDR were socialism.
He showed his lack of compassion for the ordinary working Americans.
Does this sound like a "Compassionate Conservative" to ANYONE. Does this sound like the teachings of the Christian faith George W. professes?
The professor does provide some very intetesting insight into the man who would be reelected President.
