28. The Chimp family has been in bed with the Chinese for decades
It's almost as though they don't give a shit about the US, so long as it advances their bank accounts.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2002/02/19/usat-prescott-bush.htm The Bush family's ties to China go back to 1974, when President Nixon named George Bush ambassador to China. The college-age George W. Bush spent two months in China visiting his parents during his father's two-year stint.

....Prescott Bush, now 79, also developed a close working relationship with Rong Yiren, a former trade minister and vice president, who in 1993 introduced Bush to a group of Chinese business leaders as "an old friend." In 2000, Forbes publications reported that Rong, who has retired from government, was the richest man in China.

The president's uncle concedes that he sometimes relied on his name to open doors, but he says any deals he made were the result of his own hard work....

But who knows, maybe the chimp really IS a Manchurian candidate!!! Who knows what happened during those two years in Beijing?
