What’s Next for GWB? Not a “George Bush Is a Wonderful Person Center”

What does our current President have on tap for later this week?

Well, after handing over the reins of power to President-Elect Obama, Bush will be returning to Texas, moving into a new home in Dallas, and participating in the construction of the George W. Bush Presidential Center at SMU.

Bush, who has said he will likely pen a memoir and eventually hit the lecture circuit, has talked glowingly about his hopes for the policy center, and insists that his vision for it extends far beyond his own presidency.

“This is not going to be a ‘George Bush Is a Wonderful Person Center,’ or ‘The Center for Republican Party Campaign Tactics,’ ” Bush said during one of his last media interviews as president. “It’s going to be a place of debate, thought, writing, lecturing.” Washington Post.
