Building a presidential library with any Arab money is sickening. If it can't be built with American money, don't build it.

LOL, the libs are already trying to explain away the legacy that is already being written. Like it or not (and there are many on this board pretending to be "conservatives" who won't like it) the man is already a legand. His ratings are down but considering the constant effort of the media it's amazing that his ratings are as high as they are.

As to the deficit, anyone with an IQ above room temperature will be able to figure out that....terrorist attack plus war equals trouble and that congress controls the purse strings.

Yep, this president is going to be a hero whether those who hate him like it or not.

Another ex-president pissing contest. Shameful.

I wonder how much Hillary will get these morons to spend on hers?

Only Clintoon is obsessed with his legassy.

"Eager to begin refurbishing his tattered legacy, "


"Tattered legacy"?
It's exactly because of loony left nonsense like this, that the Daily News is now getting clobbered in the circulation wars by the conservative New York Post, even in a liberal place New York City. This is from just a few years ago when the Daily News used to sell far more than the New York Post.
Maybe the Daily News should be worrying more about their tattered circulation, and shredded reputation, than about President Bush's legacy.

W library in record book ($500M center would be priciest for a Prez)

Big whoo!

W's library would be the priciest...until the library for the 44th president is built.

Tattered legacy???? Where does somebody get this?

[DTogo]

Will W's library be built by ILLEGAL aliens - building presidential libraries no American is willing to build??

[SoFloFreeper]

But Bush partisans are determined to have a massive pile of endowment cash to spread the gospel of a presidency that for now gets poor marks from many scholars and a majority of Americans.

No bias here.

A lot of Mexicans can be employed with $500 million.

Absolutely shameful.

George Bush is unworthy to share a title with George Washington, who never accepted a penny of taxpayer's money.

This type of thing was to be expected from Clinton. There is no excuse for it from Bush.

Absolutely shameful.

The legacy-polishing centerpiece is an institute, which several Bush insiders called the Institute for Democracy. Patterned after Stanford University's Hoover Institution, Bush's institute will hire conservative scholars and "give them money to write papers and books favorable to the President's policies," one Bush insider said.

This article is a hit job.

But even so, the Bush Library won't be able to hire Thomas Sowell away from Hoover. Bush's legacy will stand or fall on his actual record, for good and for ill.

• WOT
• Iraq war.
• "No child left behind."
• McCain-Feingold signing.
• Tax cuts.
• Prescription drug benefit.

Mostly, that will be it.
