When US President George W. Bush and Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry competed fiercely for the US presidency, Americans were surprised to find that although the two presidential candidates came from different parties and had different political views and programs, they both kept an amazing secret. They are all members of skull and bones. Kerry 1965 joined the club, and Bush entered skull and bones two years later. Mysterious skulls and bones began to surface. It is said that members of skull and bones must leave the room immediately after outsiders bring up the topic of skull and bones, so as to avoid leaking secrets.
