Today is the opening day for the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas, Texas (I believe it is located on the campus of Southern Methodist University, which is where Bush's wife Laura went to college).

staffers at the Clinton presidential library expect that Bill Clinton will visit the Bush library and will want some renovations to be done to the Clinton library.

One of the more interesting features of the Bush library is an interactive feature where users get to step into Bush's shoes and get to make important decisions that Bush made. The visitor will hear information that Bush's aides and advisors gave him before making various decisions, and then the user will be asked to make a decision. After the visitor decides, Bush's image appears on screen and explains what decision he made and why. To me that feature sounds kind of cool, it's like your being president for a little bit and making a decision at a historical "decision point".

Making a top-notch library doesn't change Bush's legacy in the short term.

I think in the long-term though, Bush's legacy will improve, especially as people are able to look at some of Bush's other accomplishments (BAIPA, PEPFAR, shutting down the AQ Khan network) that seem to be neglected today, due mostly to focus on the War on Terror.

As long as you can express that hate without flying planes into buildings or bombing marathons, then have a blast.... :P

[QUOTE="BossPerson"][QUOTE="danjammer69"] Not trying to be a smartass. But I need to ask: Would you prefer to have lived or have had your family continue to live under Sadaam Hussein? I understand that the country was left in a terrible state, both politically and physically. But were Iraqis better off having Hussein left in power? This is an honest question, I am not trying to infer anything. I didn't live there. I only had the media and my own personal knowledge of Iraq to form judgment.whipassmt

Despite being a war criminal and bringing about the biggest recession in a century he did a lot of good in Africa WRT HIV. Pretty bad President overall, though.

I assume it will have that famous copy of "The Pet Goat" in a special case due to its historical significance?nocoolnamejim

If your ever in Texas, Jim, than you can visit the library/museum and see if the book is there.

Hey he didn't do that alone the democrats in congress helped out on that.

[QUOTE="Nuck81"][QUOTE="whipassmt"] He's not a war criminal. And he didn't cause the recession, it happened due to factors outside of his control.
