$500,000,000 Won't Be Enough to Redeem Bush's Legacy with a Library

[NashVegas]

$2 billion won't be enough.

They can pay as many people to write as many Bush-policy-friendly articles as they like, but nothing will ever hide America's distaste for this shrub of a president, once everyone saw what was behind the veil.

Bush will go down in history for successfully implementing four things:

Trillion dollar tax cuts that favored the rich.
No Child Left Behind
War on Afghanistan
War in Iraq

In two of the four (tax cuts, NCLB), the debate about whether or not they were beneficial still rages.

Of the other two, while both were successfully implemented, both are still raging five and three years later. The latter of the two can no longer be said to be anything but disastrous for our security both militarily and financially.

That $500,000 would be better spent paying off Sunni insurgents and bribing Moqtada al Sadr, if Bush wants any kind of favorable legacy.

3. That's All Petty Stuff, Comparatively

That is, among the things his believers will attempt to promote him for.

500,000,000, not 500,000

4. Thanks

I plead, 'still too early.'

5. You're welcome

As you said, 2 billion won't be enough to rescue his image. In the realm of the history of this country, the damage he has done is immeasurable.

8. The RW neocon spin doctors salvaged Reagan's legecy.........

after Iran-Contra, etc.; ronnie became a neocon hero and the 'great communicator'. bush's legacy will be a much tougher salvage job BUT ANYTHING is possible from this bunch of lying, conniving scabs. I don't think ANYBODY really wants to celebrate bush, THEY are only after the $$$$$$$$$$!!!
