* Library fundraising hampered by * ’s unpopularity
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/03/10/library-fundraising-hampered-by-bushs-unpopularity/

Library fundraising hampered by Bush’s unpopularity.

U.S. News reports that “President Bush’s friends are concerned that he will face serious problems raising the estimated $250 million needed to build his presidential library, museum, and policy center at Southern Methodist University. … They fear that Bush’s unpopularity will put a damper on donations and that the sour economy will limit contributions even more.”

5. You would think....
That companies like Halliburton, KBR, and Blackwater to name a few would be happy to do their part and make a small donation. Heck a combined $250 mil would be chump change for the billions in contracts they got.

7. Hey they can get a FEMA trailor in New Orleans
slightly used, soaked with formaldehyde poisoning, poorly constructed, unsafe wiring. But hey, its bush standards we are talking about here. And what exactly will go into this Library? A large display of FIRST LIEUTENANT bush?
