...because from the outside it appears to be only a two-seater? PS--also houses the George W. Bush Institute, a public policy think tank. (Oh wait: maybe they meant stink tank? Conservative think tank: people paid to think by the people who make tanks.)

The least he could do would be to pay for the Iraq war from his trust fund. At least that would ease the National Debt.

I think of what they did (not only to the world with the wars) but to the U.S. economy.
And to think they were just a few months from getting away with it.

Folks, all the presidents who were present (Carter, Clinton, Bush-41, Obama & Bush-43) are all members of the same club. This is a very exclusive club. And the members will protect each other. Just like any other private club. None of them have ever gone after their predecessors for crimes committed. It is a secret pact if you look under the covers. Bush-43 will be protected by Obama and Obama will be protected by his followers for anything real or imagined..

It is the way it is!

Not advocating vandalism but wouldn't it be fitting if that first letter r in the word library disappeared from the front of the Bush Library building.

"A provocative instance of this intersection occurred in August of 2006 when President Bush discussed Shakespeare with Brian Williams of MSNBC. Bush told Williams, "I was in Crawford and I said I was looking for a book to read, and Laura said, "You oughtta try Camus.' I also read three Shakespeares ... I've got an eclectic [pronounced "eck-el-ectic"] reading list" (qt. in Williams).

Fri Apr 26, 2013, 03:39 AM
Apr 2013

Barack: Michelle and I find two girls plenty to try and keep up with.
Babs: After I had George I knew I'd had enough. But my husband wanted a big family, so I just started drinking. I actually remember very little of it after the first couple of years.



Barack: So did you know he had this painting talent all along?
Babs: He drew a lot crazy dark pictures that looked like hellish, broken landscapes with what looked like storms, with all browns, dark greens, blood reds -- you know, dark, dark colors. That was when he was four. I wanted to send him to the doctor but my husband said he was at the moulting stage and that that was normal for their species.



Barack: I don't know if you were aware, but your son is quite the prankster. He had the White House carpenter install a squeaking floor board in the Oval Office, right under my desk chair. For the first month it drove me crazy. I can barely remember what I did my first month in office!
Babs: My son? Hell, that was me.

Check out the commercial with all the presidents and ex presidents together in one place. Obama does a masterful acting job of leaning slightly away from Bush Jr as if he doesn't want to be contaminated. Would have been far more believable if Obama wasn't just like Bush.

I would imagine that this has more to do with GHW's thoughts of legacy than Jr.s
