What the anti Bush folks are trying to imply is that he his getting bribes and millions upon millions dirrectlly from the oil companies. Thats whats at issue, not what stocks bush owns.
Nice try though....

Yes, he and all other public figures should sell off all their holdings as it in no doubt will cloud thier judgment when it is time to hit themselves in the pocket. the same lawyer cannot represent both sides of a case due to conflict of interest, the same should apply here. We are not talking ALL public holdings, do not generalize the subject, it makes you look confused.
Bribes? He did recieve 2.8 billion in campaign funds from the energy industry. - Another ten second google fact.
Oh and I voted for him TWICE
