Bush’s My Pet Goat Library May Have Secret Foreign Donors.


Thinkprogress:


In a press conference yesterday, President Bush admitted that his library would likely take foreign donations but said he would consider keeping the donors’ names confidential:
BUSH: We’ll look at the disclosure requirements and make a decision. There’s some people who like to give and don’t particularly want their names disclosed. […]
Q Any restrictions on who can give? Will you take foreign money for this?
BUSH: Yeah, probably take some foreign money, but don’t know yet, Ken. We just haven’t — we just announced the deal and I, frankly, have been focused elsewhere.
When asked if the public has “right to know,” Bush replied, “We’re weighing, taking a look, taking consideration, giving it a serious consideration. Nice try, though.”

Well DUH...how many arab donors do you think are on that list!

Thanks to Bushwacker...a barrel of crude has gone from ~$20/barrel to OVER $100/barrel. It's the least those dictators in the middle east could do, is donate to the library.

Now, I'd REALLY be worried IF Bush decided to build his Presidential Library in Saudi Arabia or on one of those Palm Islands in Dubai!

I don't think the ruling elites are planning to bail on N. America in the near future.

!. Plain old geography. North America is a natural treasure. Verdant, fertile, huge, laden with species.

2. Politically, still the most stable of all the continents.

The rest of the world is full of political turmoil and proven itself ungovernable.

3. Disney World and its properties are still solvent..

4. The equity in the country is still the highest, in all the world. Even though our real estate may be over-priced, fact is, we still have more STUFF than any other country in the world.

If we ever go bust as a nation, we could hold the BIGGEST YARD SALE in the world!

I wouldn't bet against the USA and I'm pleased to see that Bush isn't either.

[even though we have poops like Geroge Ryan and g-Rod. g-Rod is worse than Ryan, because g-Rod is a laywer and thinks he's going to be President one day.]
