Bush trying to beat ‘bad environment’ for fundraising by enlisting his dad and Karl Rove for help.
U.S. News reports that the “crumbling economy” has “slowed” President Bush’s drive to raise $500 million for his presidential library at Southern Methodist University. One Bush friend acknowledged, “It’s a bad environment.” U.S News reports that “Bush is taking no chances: He’s making donor calls himself, and even his dad, the 41st president, is helping out, as are former aides like Karl Rove. In the future, say associates, look for Bush to host fundraising events in order to meet a goal of completing construction in 2013. But for now, ‘he’s laying low,’ says one.”
(ThinkProgress has been keeping a close eye on developments with the Bush library, and we will continue to do so. Read our related posts here.)

Bush trying to beat ‘bad environment’ for fundraising by enlisting his dad and Karl Rove for help.»
– - Add Karen Hughes to the mix and the dumbass trifecta is in play.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:26 amNo one could have predicted the economy would tank and leave Bu$h’s efforts to legitimize his miserable failure of a presidency in shambles!
No one could have predicted airplanes smashing into buildings, or levees breaking in N.O., or…
the list goes on…
February 16th, 2009 at 11:28 amIt’s a fact of life. Georgie can turn something into shit and daddy can tell us it’s a cadbury egg.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:29 amAny cent that Karl raises has the same taint as Blago’s campaign account.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:30 amOkay, explain to me again why any organization would build a library for a man who could not speak the English language properly? Who sat paralyzed for 7 minutes in an elementary school in Florida while the country was under attack (and endangering the students), listening to “My Pet Goat”? Who championed the failed “No Student Left Behind”?
Unless, of course, the building will be called The George W. Bush, Never Again Memorial Library!
February 16th, 2009 at 11:31 amThere are BILLIONS AND BILLIONS from Iraq spending alone that is totally unaccounted by the military-industrial complex.
The criminal cabal behind dur chimpfurher stole even more across the rest of the federalt reasury.
They’re should be plenty of loot to build chimpy’s disney-style library and “catapult the propaganda” that he was a great leader.
What gives?
February 16th, 2009 at 11:34 amI’m pretty sure he could house his ‘lie-berry’ in his garage, as how much room does he really need to display his sole book My Pet Goat?
February 16th, 2009 at 11:35 amGeorgie, your “friends” had plenty of millions to throw at swiftboating, but that was when they could get something back from ya. Now? Not so much.
Here’s an idea for a fundraiser: Make a DVD of you mangling of the English language so parents can use it to warn their children about the dangers of remaining ignorant. And if they act by midnight tonight, a free copy of “My Pet Goat”.
PEACE
February 16th, 2009 at 11:35 amMaybe the environment would be better if you had let the EPA do it’s job…
February 16th, 2009 at 11:36 amMaybe he can get some money from La Cosa Nostra?
February 16th, 2009 at 11:37 amBush should beg the Saudis for money…
February 16th, 2009 at 11:38 amThose who became rich through war profiteering could easily fund this travesty of a library. I speak of Halliburton, KBR, Exxon, and Blackwater among others. I’d be happy to contribute: one thin dime. And I want nine cents back in change.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:43 amThey don’t need to raise any money for bull shit bush’s library…Any stall in a airport men’s room would be plenty big enough for his 2 coloring book’s and crayon’s….Blessings
February 16th, 2009 at 11:44 ami still think it should be tagged as LIE-BURY.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:46 amThe bad economy has little to do with GDumbya’s fundraising problems . . . there just isn’t much of a market for (p)residential fiction. In addition, poor GDumbya is in no position to do what he has always done before and “pay back” his donors with any more tax cuts for the rich, imperialistic wars, no-bid contracts and elimination of business regulation.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:47 amI wonder if they’ve considered just a plain old $100 million library.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:49 amHe’d be better off raising money for decorating his prison cell…
…Maybe Gannon Gay Pink?
February 16th, 2009 at 11:50 amThe quickest way is to rename the library, “The George W. Bush Coal Sludge Spill,” transplant the location to Tennessee, and devote the funds to an interactive cautionary information center and superfund site dedicated to prevention of drydrunk failures enacting disastrous policies.
Hell, I’d chip in for that….
February 16th, 2009 at 11:51 amDear Potential Bushworld Donors:
February 16th, 2009 at 11:51 amPlease instead consider a donation to close the shortfall in your state’s Unemployment Insurance fund. People without jobs or job prospects need a short-term boost to ward off the disasters wrought by Bushworld policies, or lack thereof.
Thank you, BD

Hello, W1. A restroom would be the perfect location, but we’re all commoners; out input doesn’t count. I’m sure they’d have no problem taking up the idea of using shredded documents for insulation, however. Or maybe as confetti for the grand opening.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:51 amIt’s very satisfying to see Karmic Law play out. Make no mistake about it: Bush, Karl, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Rice – all have millions and millions of $$$$$ dollars stashed in banks in The Caymans and Switzerland.

Most libraries actually have resources to aid job-seekers. Time spent in the Bush library would have the effect of making one unemployable (lost brain cells, anyone?). There is a remedy, however. Once a person exits the Bush library, they should immediately run to the campus library (SMU) for a rinse-off.
February 16th, 2009 at 11:58 amDidn’t Bushboy claim more than once that History would be good to him?
Hold your breath and wait for the money to come!
February 16th, 2009 at 11:59 amBush reminds me of the guy who takes a dump in his own well and then complains that his water’s undrinkable. It’s a bit hard to muster up any sympathy for him.
But surely there was SOME beneficiary of the last eight years — somebody for whom the deregulation, the tax cuts, the no-bid crony contracts, the environment where house-of-cards financial structures could be built, etc. enriched them greatly. Some parties who made out like bandits as a result of Dubya policies. Wouldn’t they gratefully pay back their benefactor to show their appreciation?
Hmmm…I guess there’s not much honor among thieves.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:01 pmThey only need room for 2-3 books, so why so much $$ ?
Rent a locker in the Midland Greyhound station, or a foot or two of shelfspace in Crawford’s RIF-mobile.
(oh, that’s right RIF funding got cut)
To do it in grand Bush fashion, they should just put up a few signs for it along the interstate and pocket the rest of the cash.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:08 pm$500 million??? Must be one hell of a comic book collection.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:10 pmExcellent positioning to post this just above the post noting Shrubwit’s exalted position as number 36, one of the most useless and destructive presidents to ever hold office.
What do you think SMU? What a great idea to intimately associate your school and campus and reputation with one of the dumbest, most clueless guys to ever be president.
“He may be a dumbass, but he’s our dumbass”, says SMU as it walks into walls it can’t see because of the $$$ in it’s eyes.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:10 pmmenballer — er, I mean, benmaller doesn’t have much of a grasp on… well, anything, does he?
But I guess you don’t really need a thorough understanding of anything if your only game is to yell “Clinton Did It™!” periodically.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:12 pmMan, talk about making your bed and LYING in it..he took all the money and gave it to his rich friends, all the Ditto heads are un-employed mouth breathers.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:14 pmWhy thank you. Some cheese would be lovely. How about a touch of bucheron.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:14 pmThis from a guy whose cohort just pulled a “Clinton Did It!™“.
man, these trolls got nuthin’.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:14 pmThe neighbors are already aggravated:
‘A parking garage planned for the George W. Bush Presidential Library at Southern Methodist University is too close for comfort for some University Park homeowners who say they didn’t expect the structure to be built alongside their back alley.’
snip
‘Homeowners said they’re also concerned about other facets of the library design, which could draw about 300,000 people a year – and even more when the building first opens.’
How many visitors do other presidential ‘libraries’ get annually?
February 16th, 2009 at 12:15 pmI’m willing to make a contribution for chimpy.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:16 pmA very LARGE bag of dog shit.
All he’ll soon have left, as he so accurately predicted, will be Barney and Laura! This guy is radioactive and totally toxic.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:17 pmUncle Ho: Maybe a huge assortment of dog shit in a lit paper bag on his doorstep in his elitist Texas gated community?
February 16th, 2009 at 12:18 pmPerhaps he can call this library which will never be built “The Clinton Did-It Library”.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:19 pmOh I have no doubt once Rove in enlisted watch the money roll in. Uh, remember that little dust up about “wire tapping”? I am sure Rove will “convince” certain people to start kicking in the dough.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:20 pmy, dogwash, it’s pretty bad news when your party is running 2 out of 3 branches of the gov’t. I for one just can’t stop sobbing in my beer.
February 16th, 2009 at 12:20 pmAnyone remember how faux-outraged the R’s and Righties were when Clinton got boatloads of cash and built the biggest, sweetest Pres. Library anyone had ever seen?
I do. They were agog over it, and tried with all their stringy, cowardly might to turn it into a scandal.
Everyone forgot about it pretty quickly when they found out what a scandal the newly-installed R president was going to be.

And what “unfavorable” news would that be? Passing the economic recovery act? Passing SCHIP? Passing the Ledbetter act? Yep, all those are unfavorable to the conservatives. But then, there is little these days that is favorable to the conservatives.
Sorry to break this to you troll, but it is your party that is having a problem with unfavorability:
PRINCETON, NJ — Just one in four Americans approve of the job the Republicans in Congress are doing, an approval rating just below that given to President Bush. Americans are somewhat more charitable in their ratings of the Democrats in Congress.

And don’t let it bother ya that ol’ watchcur is licking his… you know… all dogs do that. And besides — OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! No, no — you don’t want to look at ‘im. Yes, he’s doing that. I guess it’s a dog’s way of “shaking the devil off”.
February 16th, 2009 at 1:14 pmBush 41 will try to soft-talk his friends out of a few bucks to polish the turd that was his son’s presidency. Failing that, they will call in Rove, who has dirt on just about everyone to arm twist and blackmail those with tight wallets.

February 16th, 2009 at 1:29 pmDaddy Bush will be doing more then helping his idiot son with his library. He will be making calls for help with his War Crime Charges as that’s more important. What a poor example of the men in the Bush Family. Each son still has to have the Father clean up their mess. Jeb is worthless and George the an alcoholic/drug addict and both are openly liars. Daddy Bush isn’t in shape anymore to run after young woman and his son’s are having him run around to his friends for help while both of his hips are not working. No wonder Barbara Bush got sick who wouldn’t with the Bush name now the laughing Stock around the World.
February 16th, 2009 at 1:31 pmAny attempt to connect George W. Bush and “library” is an anomaly.
February 16th, 2009 at 1:41 pmI truly believe the reason repugs hate the word libs is because they get confused. They think it is the part of their anatomy they either have to apply to their gurus butts or the valve stem when they want to have a hot date.
February 16th, 2009 at 1:44 pmMay I suggest a wax museum?
February 16th, 2009 at 1:45 pmTypical blind stupidity. He causes this depression, does nothing to help and then leaves this mess for someone else. And all he can think of is his undeserved library.
None of them have a clue. Still attached to Rove.
February 16th, 2009 at 1:52 pmIt’s a bad environment for raising money to honor Bush because the scars are still too fresh.
I hope they do build a library. On my bucket list is to visit the library and properly show my due respect for Bush. I hope that my tribute makes the paper.

Bill Clinton is busy fundraising for his Global Initiative, addressing climate change, public health, poverty and education. I doubt he’d want to bother building a “library” for Boosh.

February 16th, 2009 at 2:32 pmnanlichi, would that be a donation in kind to the Library Front Door/ Memorial Urinal?
February 16th, 2009 at 2:34 pmNow this is poetic justice for the former clown President. He stole from this country when we had a surplus of non-debt in this country. Now that this country and the entire world is in a recession, the former thief-in-chief finds it hard raising money in this financial crisis. Interesting that Bush, himself, has to raise money for his My Pet Goat Library and the date for library to go live is 2013. And I notice he can’t get the big corporations to fund his library in this bad economy. Bush is going to find it differcult to get the big banks who receive or going to receive TARP money to donate since the Obama and Geithner are watching every dime of where the taxpayers’ money is going to.
It will be fun to watch how and when Bush’s lie-bury goes live.
February 16th, 2009 at 2:36 pmAs in the rest of Junior’s pathetic life, he can’t make it without Poppy & Karl.
February 16th, 2009 at 2:38 pmi can imagine the board of directors at SMU are breathing a huge sigh of relief. no money, no library. it looks like a win for SMU who tried to back out of the deal a couple months ago.

February 16th, 2009 at 2:55 pmNAN, may I suggest on page 43 of the guest book?
February 16th, 2009 at 2:57 pmThis is a no brainer, people. It will be built. Daddy is a member of the Carlye Group and junior will soon be one too. And they gots lots of money cause Bush Senior and now junior both have access to where the Federal government is going to spend money – something about being ex-presidents allows they access. All they have to do is corner the market on a stock before the award is made, wait for it to appreciate, then sell for a profit. It’s the only insider trading scam allowable. They’re so flush with cash, if junior wants his own personal Me Wall at SMU, he’ll get it.
February 16th, 2009 at 2:59 pm83. Tahut – while I agree with you that the Carlyle group or the Saudis will step in, I’ve got to laugh that with all the connections that dufus has, he still, as an ex president, is having trouble raising a few million.
Speaks to his greatness as president.
February 16th, 2009 at 3:04 pmhis stupid decisions made usa in economic crisis spending billions in iraq every months and now he trys to raise fund,whatever he does is only a MESS.

February 16th, 2009 at 4:14 pmGood point re: Carlyle Group, they were first up to the taxpayer’s table back in June 2008. Wonder if they have considered scaling back the $500 million to oh, say $150,000 ? That is about what many houses are worth since bush push deregulation on banks.
February 16th, 2009 at 4:59 pmMy research said Barbara Bush is very tight, goes to those beholden for campaign cash, help for her boys.
Or how about georgie putting up the cash himself ? He didn’t save anything on $400,000 a year with all expenses paid ?

Botch would be producing fiction BY a president if he wrote. And those who write about his “legacy” will either be damning it [nonfiction] or praising it: LIES, not fiction.
