Well, if you believe some effete, tea-sipping British newspaper...and do you remember this story from September 2004? All the U.S. press coverage? Neither do i...
Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president
"George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy."

Nazi schmazi. Conservatives love their country and love strong defense, so how could they be appeasers? Patriotic feelings speak louder than actions.
The "hum of pre-election controversy" was apparently on a frequency that only dogs could hear.
The Bush family - making us proud since God knows when.
War criminals
Morons
Fascists
Bastards
Elected Officials who seem incapable of losing an election in the United States
I feel sad.
