With no more need for cowboy act, Bush moves from Crawford ranch to recently whites-only suburb.

Yes, imagine that, retiring in the bosom of his fundraisers. T-Boone "I Got A Plan" Pickens being among them - beware of that snake-in-the-grass.

Those who voted for him twice were not blind: they saw exactly what they wanted to see.

Gheee... moving to a fancy low crime high class neighborhood. Like you bunch wouldn't do that if you could. (and here come the "no, I'm not like that, I like my crappy house in my shitty neighborhood" bull shit! It sucks, let me repeat that IT SUCKS, that you have to live in a place like that to avoid crime, but statistics are statistics and he will soon be an ex-president. What did you expect, that he would move into down town Harlem in a shitty apartment? He was a millionaire BEFORE he became president, and he is a millionaire now. Rich people live in ritzy places, deal with it.

What the heck are you "Bush destroyed everything and is the anti-christ" bunch going to do once he is out of o...

You'll love my comment, then, burn...

In the classic form of kibitz, "There ought to be a law..."

The Presidential term in office should remain at four years, but an extra two years of public service living a life at minimum wage level should be tacked onto it. Standard Presidental salary should continue, but the life at minimum wage should be strongly enforced.

I can't help but think that we might see a bit more action for the common man's lot in this case.

I think what you'd see is no one willing to run for the office.

Maybe that would be a good thing, given what we've gotten of late, and/or maybe it would bring about a shift to a more sensible candidate..

@burndata0 -

Wow, you presume to know a lot about me. And why do you pick on Harlem? Harlem is nice - Martha Stewart thinks so. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20031018/HARLEM18/TPTravel/

You think that criminals don't reside in Preston Hollows? The covenant alone violated Federal and State Fair Housing laws. You think drug dealing, spouse abuse or white collar crimes don't happen in places like Preston Hollows? Rich white enclaves are not heaven.

burn, you have missed the point by a country mile.
Bush was never a rancher, but a Northeastern preppie. The ranch was a ruse that went into the carefully planned propaganda campaign to make him into "a guy I'd like to have a beer with." Hence, the cutting brush and horseback photo ops.

It appears that once the presidency was past, the need for the ruse evaporated as well. And his lack of reluctance to move into a segregated neighborhood - segregated by covenant, until just a few years ago - is also revealing of his values.

Rail on about the other stuff if you like, but you're having an argument with a stereotype, not with the clip or the commenters represented here.
