TOKYO - A former teacher of U.S. President George Bush on Friday questioned his qualifications as president in an address to foreign reporters in Japan.
Speaking at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan in Tokyo, City University of New York prof. Yoshihiro Tsurumi said, "I always remember two groups of students. One is the really good students, not only intelligent, but with leadership qualities, courage. The other is the total opposite, unfortunately to which George belonged."
"President Bush can no longer be reelected on the basis of his - quote unquote - leadership," Tsurumi, who was Bush’s professor at Harvard Business School, told his audience in reference to November’s presidential election in the United States.
He recalled a conversation with Bush when he met him soon after he arrived at Harvard.
"I asked him, ’What have you been doing ? How about Vietnam ?’ and he said, ’Well, I’ve been in the National Guard in Texas.’ I said, ’How did you get that ? There’s a 10-year waiting list.’ And he said, ’Well, my dad has connections."’
Tsurumi is a frequent commentator for U.S. news programs, and has been outspoken in his criticism of both Bush and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.
"In my class, he (Bush) declared that ’people are poor because they are lazy.’ He was opposed to labor unions, social security, environmental protection, Medicare and public schools. To him, Franklin D Roosevelt’s New Deal was ’socialism,"’ Tsurumi said. (Kyodo News)

Well, if anything, knowing that makes my support for Bush even stronger. How uplifting it is to see that Bush-bashing is now a way for flipped-out Harvard professors to earn their financial income.
Wow! How did this non-leader have such an impact on this high brow professor?
That's does it, Bush is toast.
Pack em up, time to head to Australia.
What, has this asshat been in a timewarp? He's four years too late to be making that assertion.
As your student, President Bush thought you were an ass
And President Bush is right: in America, if you're poor it means you have priorities other than hard work.
I guess leaving out anything about a paper W once did for his class on the best way to both slowly and painfully kill the elderly made this a subtle lie to this Tsurumi Brainiac.
I'd be interested in knowing what grade the eminent professor gave GWB back in the 1970s, and compare that to his "recollection" of 2004.
LoL. Little late...??
I agree. Bush's former professor is not qualified to be president.
Let's see...Bush is a dummy but got elected President, fought two successful wars and you're a college professor at some podunk school.
Welcome to FR, I see you just joined us recently.
Most professors are putzes.
"There’s a 10-year waiting list."
I sincerely doubt there is, or has ever been, a 10 year waiting list for the Air National Guard, or any other military corps. And further, how many dunderheads and bad students are there supposed to be at the Harvard Business School, or was Bush the only one?
Sounds like George Bush was quite prescient at that age. He listed the institutions/programs that are now, 30 years later, shown to be the most dysfunctional and/or in need of disestablishment in US government and society today.
And when I say disestablishment, I mean exactly that.
Environmentalism and Public Education have become Sacred Cows and Substitute Religions for those on the Left.
He's just a Socialist --- any thing less than Fidel Castro would not be good enough for him.

What is this about a 10 year waiting list to get into the TX National Guard? Did parents sign their boys up when they were 8 years old?

LMAO! The saying "Do as I say not as I do" seems appropriate here.
