Well, same with Bush.
Bush attended an investment meeting on Sept 10th, 2001 with Shafiq bin Laden, for the Carlyle and Binladin groups. It's public knowledge that in the the following October, the Bush family and the Bin Laden family severed business ties, for obvious reasons.
Keep in mind, I don't care. I don't think it should be on Bush's wiki page. I don't think it's a dark and deceptive thing. But I feel the same way about Obama's page. |
See, here's where I think we differ. In the instance you're bringing up, an investment meeting doesn't seem "biographical" to me. In a recount of the presidency, sure - but not in a biographical paper of the president.
Whereas I think ties to Ayers and Wright seem more centralized around the person himself, rather than the event.
