Bush Library Raises $100 Million in 100 Days

TIME:

Longtime financial backers of the 43rd president have raised more than $100 million for a presidential library at Southern Methodist University in Dallas that will house his official papers, sources close to Bush told TIME. Much of the money was collected in the 100 days or so since Bush left the White House, a pace much faster than that of his recent predecessors. At least so far, none of it has come from overseas, the sources said.

Dear Bush- Please accept this little $100 Million donation from your old friends in business. We want to sincerely thank you for helping us screw Americans out of billions of dollars, year after year. Let us know if you need any more $ for legal defense about that torture business. Sincerely, corporate looters and war profiteers.

Probably paid for with TARP funds.

Here is the plaque for the front of the building-

The George W. Bush Commenterating Liberry
With a Speshal Section on Nucelar Policy....

[Hillrick]

That's nukuler.

[Layman23]

Then a banner that says."My years in the white house as a decider"

[kareemachan]

One word: gagamaggot.

[TomTheAlmostUgly]

Alumni of Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and U. Dallas are all going "Thank God."

[cycle3man]

It appears to be some kind of twisted joke:
A man who doesn't read books is building a library in his name.,

[Hillrick]

Probably more of a secret secret society. Wants his own skull and bones an' he get ta be Preznit again!

[Layman23]

Rewriting history folks. We know it, but 50 years down the road, everyone will think Bush was a well read and educated thinker.

[DocWylie]

SMU forever linked to this immoral embarrasment.

Devine justice.

[roger37]

I wonder if they are going to have an "Enhanced Interrogation Studies" wing.

The first seminar would be " Why Real Christians Encourage Torture."

[Hillrick]

Nope. Going to the next step, enhanced evangelizing techniques.

[Layman23]

With another book, to quote another reader from here "Talibangelical Principles and how they work.."

[pmag88]

He may end up needing to divert some of it for other purposes.

[Clayton139]

OMG - Who in the H-e-l-l would want to go there ?!

George Bush should save most of it for Lawers !

[dolphy]

SMU....shame on you!

[roger37]

Jeez, I guess!

How could anybody at the seat of an advanced education institution allow this on their campus? No way would I encourage my grandchildren to go to that school.

Bush, this guy made a handful, of White elites, billionaires during his 8 year rein in power. He depleted the treasury and indebtedness for generations to come for the country, lack of federal oversight gave rise to the Wall Street meltdown that was felt around the world, started 2 wars he could not finish and in the balance destroyed millions of lives, dismissed our economic wows like a cheerleader in college (we're #1, we're #1), and he was a bad hand dealt to America! A joker!
A hundred million in 10 days for the Bush library? Just peanut change to the few he bank rolled! I am sure this guy sleep well at night. One would need a conscience to toil and turn!

[jesseandrews]

and the dems went right along with it, they had the votes to stop everything he did. you need 60 votes in the senate to pass most bill and the gop only had 55 in 2004, the dems could have filabuster all the bills except tax cuts that was with reconciliation.

[Findley]

Can you say....SLUSH FUND.

[FebM]

Is that from the tax havens?

[davism97]

$100 million raised to support crimes against humanity.

[Vance1]

Then I guess your messiah could support literally millions of people on what he took in.

[jesseandrews]

that the dems supported

[TomTheAlmostUgly]

>> $100 million raised to support crimes against humanity.

> that the dems supported

After they got lied-to by Bushie. In any case, Illinois Senator Obama didn't drink the Kool-Aid.

[Rule Of Law]

Nobody ever said that rewriting history would be cheap...
