The staff photographer for President Bush took a million photos. The President kept all of them.
This week, the GWB Presidential library opens in Dallas. If someone wants to view a million photos of Bush, he can.
I don’t know who goes to a Presidential library. There are 13 of these libraries. Bush’s cost $250 million. It has 15 acres of fake prairie. It has 227,000 square feet. To house what?
They cost millions a year to run. They are built by private donors. No one knows who. No one knows why.
The official justification of these libraries is historical research. Are the academic users mostly grad students, working hard on their Ph.D. dissertations, which will enable them to drive cabs to and from a presidential library? No one knows.
Are the academic users mostly untenured history professors who are trying to parlay their dissertations into five unread journal articles, which may get their contracts renewed, thereby avoiding community college teaching? No one knows.
What we do know is that taxpayers funded a full-time photographer who spent 8 years taking pictures of George W. Bush.
Believe the bulk of the funds came from the Saudi's for getting the BinLaden family out of the US after 9/11.
If presidential libraries are to be considered a waste then let this be the last of them. The opportunity for a new direction can be the future Obama 'library', a Chicago storefront displaying the hallmarks of his presidency: a large pile of human waste, bronzed.
…. adjunct 'professors' who are trying to parlay their dissertations into five unwritten journal articles, which may get their contracts renewed, by which means they avoid having to teach in community colleges ….

Or a big statue that says how he brought America back from the Bush induced Military and Economic collapse!

It's good to see that my congressman, Duncan is at least asking for some financial accountability on these boondoggles.
and a pile of dead babies, bronzed
It must have been an awful accident, you're still not lucid. Head hurt much?
I should have said "is bringing back". It will take a long time. When Obama took office our economy was in FREEFALL! Now it's stabelized and slowly improving. The troops are out of Iraq and soon will be out of Afganistan! No?
Thanks for your time.
You don't listen to Talk Radio by any chance do you?
Does the GWB Liebrary have the plane flown by CIA Drug Smuggler Barry Seal and by GW Bush on display? How about the Bush and Clinton family involvement in the IRAN Contra drug smuggling and murder for hire or the Mena AR drug depot?
