GWB Presidential Library

[cawacko]

I was in Dallas this weekend and stopped by the new Bush library on the SMU campus. Only other Presidential library I've been to is JFK's. SMU's campus is beautiful and the library itself was really well done. My favorite part was the replica of the Oval Office and you can sit behind the President's desk. Lots of people were having their pictures taken. Was pretty fun to see these old ladies at desk pretending to talk on the phone.

As for everything there it was as I expected, pretty much like a political campaign stating all the things he did while in office with a positive spin.

That's pretty much what the presidential libraries are evidenced from the two I've been to...Clinton and Bush.

Love to see it someday.

How long will it take a lib to turn this thread into a diatribe against the eevviill Bush?

Did you get a picture?

Haha, no I did not. There was a line and I didn't care about sitting in the seat. I just walked through the room.

A library for a person who didn't read. What a waste of money.

You could have done the JFK and looked out the window for your photo op.

Not long:

Ummm, not to nit-pick, but I am pretty sure if you look closely, the child is the one who is actually reading.

I set that up nicely Dune, didn't I?

Are you happy with yourself finally? Revel in it, I am sure it will not last long.

Until the next time I burn you?

It was a joke, Rune. Look at the book Dubya's holding. Real close.

I've been to two.....Ford's in Grand Rapids, MI (an oval office) and Hoover's in Iowa (which was simply a library)......

No Hooverville replicas?

No Hooverville replicas?

to be honest I went with a high school field trip back in the sixties....I remember gardens and books and nothing else.....

I get that Howie. What I said was meant to emphasize your point.

Dry humor if you will. I get that it is sometimes not funny.

So, is the text on all of the signs and letterheads misspelled, so as to truly represent the man?
