Do we really need another Presidential Library? Do we need another structure for George Bush when daddy already has a library? Why not double up? Like father, like son, the apple don’t fall from the tree and waste not, want not, does not seem to fit the bill for this first-first family, which has come in last!
Bush, Sr. has a library and museum in College Station, Texas. Now, I ask anyone, do we really need two libraries for the first-first family? It’s absolutely comical to think that Bush will also add that extra special touch by including a Policy Institute within his new world. Just what the hell is a Policy Institute?
The price tag for this venture is 300 million dollars and will be raised through donations. Is this some type of joke? If Bush is going to go out and raise 300M to build another Comedy Central then I certainly hope that Americans will NOT give their money to such a wasteful cause. If Bush was any kind of man, he’d double-up with dad at College Station and raise the 300M for the homeless or, better yet, GO RAISE 300M TO HELP RE-BUILD NEW ORLEANS!
Yeah, Mr. President, you remember New Orleans don’t ya? It’s that place you visited with your FEMA Director – the one you commended on doing such a great job. How about redeeming yourself Mr. President? How about doing GOOD work in your retirement years by going to New Orleans and helping the re-build effort? Oh, I forgot, out of sight – out of mind. All those homeless folks will just have to find a way to get by.
If you do build a library, maybe you should include some books about crisis management? Better yet, how about putting some of those weapons of mass destruction (found in Iraq), on display in your museum? Then again, there don’t appear to be any WMDA’s laying about the place to put on display – just thousands of dead American soldiers.
If it sounds like I’m a bit peeved at this nonsense, I am. What’s more disturbing about this Library idea is that if the Bush Library is actually built (and he manages to convince people to donate 300M) then the taxpayers of America can (once again) foot the bill by ponying up the money to operate this venture for many, many, many, many years to come.
When I met President Bush and shook his hand, I must say that his weak handshake did not instill any confidence in me nor my belief in his abilities. When I left the room, people asked me what it was like to speak with the President of the Free World and shake his hand. I said “we’re in a lot of trouble” and he didn’t prove me wrong in eight years. The Bush family should do the “right thing” and take some lessons from Jimmy Carter, go build something that actually does something for the human race – NOT for yourself - and your own vanity.
Just a head’s up - the world does not need another library – we have this thing called the Internet.
