Bush Legacy Tour

SEATTLE, WA-It is unfortunate that we only made one stop in Washington, not only because of its breathtaking scenery but because of how much the disasters of the last eight years have taken their toll on the state.

• Washington has footed 12.2 billion dollars for the Iraq War bill and lost 85 soldiers and has 880 more that have been wounded.
• The medium family income in the state has gone down close to $3,000 since Bush took office.
• The state has lost 29,000 manufacturing jobs since 2001.
• Washington relies heavily on the timber industry and has been hard hit by the lack of construction due to the housing crisis.

Statistics that dismal don’t really require much annotation from me. I would like to share some of the comments from a few of  the people who attended our Seattle event. They shared some strong ideas about what the Bush legacy will mean to them, their family, and their community and also what they think of the Bush Legacy Tour.

“Great exhibit! What a travesty Bush has committed-along with his cohorts.”

“Very informative. I took my kids and told them about what Bush has done. Hopefully he will go down as the worst and most destructive leader in history so that future generations don’t let this happen again!”

Nina

“I will remember the Presidency with deep, deep sadness for the loss of hope I witnessed in the people of this country. I fear about what is being left to my daughter: poverty, hatred by other nations, and the destruction of what our country truly means!”

Kelli

“I will remember negatively. Bush squandered the surplus with his tax cuts and wars. He has deprived veterans access to VA healthcare and was incompetent as a war leader.”

John

“Ruined economy, endless war, mass corporate corruption.”

Warren

“Very informative. The large presence of the bus, means something. Don’t stop ‘till he’s gone.”
