There are a few things about this story that I find shocking. I'll preface what I'm about to say with a little disclaimer. I'm one of the majority of Americans who doesn't like President Bush. I never have liked him and was sickened when he was elected. Shocker, I know.
First of all, who in their right mind would contribute to Dubya's Presidential Library? He is arguably one of the biggest failures as President, and I sure wouldn't want my name or money attached to a library in memory of those infamous 8 years.
Secondly, he is an awful public speaker and at times seems borderline illiterate. At least Presidents Clinton and Reagan were intelligent and good public speakers before they signed book deals and toured as public speakers.
Thirdly, I don't think it's plausible to compare Bush to President Carter. To me, despite his shortcomings during his presidency, President Carter deeply cares about the well being of the impoverished in the world. Bush has lived a life of luxury and seems to be one of the most selfish individuals ever, so I doubt he will go into peace work like Carter did.
So, what should President Bush do?
If I was him, I would hide out for a very, very long time.
