Bush lauds construction of presidential center

AP reports:

DALLAS — Former President George W. Bush said Monday that his presidential center will be a venue for learning and action, and that it already exceeds his expectations.

The George W. Bush Presidential Center will feature a presidential library and policy institute when it opens in spring 2013. Bush said the institute, which will focus on education reform, global health, human freedom and economic growth, will help him to stay involved in the areas that interest him.

As a vet of his war of choice in Iraq, totally agree! They should have Cheney, Bush and Rumsfeld stripped naked together with rabid dogs in an 8x8 cell for life! Fact that they have all made millions of dollars on their lies and deceptions is beyond immoral. I have basically given up on real justice in this country based up their 8 lurid years leading this nation.

He should have the 'dog tags' of every American he sent to Iraq that is now in the grave.

Presumably this will house the George W. Bush recipe for ruining a perfectly good country.

I don't understand why he and Cheney and Rumsfeld aren't on trial in The Hague.

Complete with undisclosed rooms which tourists are whisked away to for enhanced historical education techniques.

The museum will even boast special 1200 sheet rolls of toilet paper in the public rest rooms. Each sheet of TP will contain a replica of each presidential signing statement used to circumvent the law during George Bush's amazing two terms in office.
