    With his new book, Decision Points set for release the next day, former Pres. George W. Bush will sit down with NBC’s Today show anchor Matt Lauer in a one-hour prime time special. It will be the first one-on-one interview Pres. Bush has agreed to since he left office. From the Today show site: Since leaving office, President George W. Bush has never granted a one-on-one television interview about his presidency. But he’ll sit down with TODAY’s Matt Lauer in a special “Matt Lauer Reports” airing in prime time on Monday, Nov. 8. President Bush will also join Matt live...

    Los Angeles Times / latimes.com ^ | July 25, 2010 | 7:09 p.m. | By Michael A. Memoli, [Please Hold For Use By Weekend Newspapers]
    Reporting from Washington — As campaign foils go, George W. Bush was a very effective one for Democrats in 2006 and 2008, even though his name never appeared on a ballot. But now, as the party seeks to defend the majorities it built based in part on Bush fatigue, Democrats find that invoking the former president's name doesn't pack quite the same punch. New polling shows that Bush's standing among the electorate remains weak, and that voters for the most part still fault him for the nation's ailing economy. But as President Obama's popularity has stagnated, Democratic strategists say that...

Similar billboards have popped up in other sports around the country. A phone number is listed on the billboard for drivers to call and leave comments. As of Wednesday, that voicemail box was full.
  • Obama lifts Bush joke to use at West Point commencement

    Obama has done a lot of astonishing things. In fact everyday is more shocking than the day prior. However, bootlegging jokes takes outrageous to a whole new level. Comparing Obama's remarks at the 2010 West Point graduation with G. W. Bush's commencement address in 2002 reveals Barry may have lifted a gag line from George. To be fair, Barack can't be held fully responsible, after all Obama is the first full-fledged teleprompter President adept only at reading words from a digitized screen like a mind-numbed robot. However, unless the tradition to "excuse minor conduct offenses" at a West Point commencement...

    WASHINGTON — Is George W. Bush about to start a political comeback? Written off as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history when he left office, the 63-year-old Bush has been keeping a low profile, fading from view as the country turned its attention to his successor, President Barack Obama . Now, some events might be turning in Bush's favor just as he and his family emerge to tell their side of the story, first with the release this week of Laura Bush's memoir, "Spoken From the Heart," then in November with the release of his book, "Decision Points."...

    Dissidents in the world's most oppressive countries aren't feeling the love from President Obama. No one seems to know precisely who is behind the "Miss Me Yet?" billboard—the cheeky one featuring a grinning George W. Bush that looks out over I-35 near Wyoming, Minn. But Syrian dissident Ahed Al-Hendi sympathizes with the thought. In 2006, Mr. Hendi was browsing pro-democracy Web sites in a Damascus Internet café when plainclothes cops carrying automatic guns swooped in, cuffed him, and threw him into the trunk of a car. He spent over a month in prison, some of it alone in a 5-by-3...

    Poll: Public Split On Whether They Would Prefer Obama Or George W. Bush Eric Kleefeld | April 14, 2010, 11:39AM In yet another sign of political polarization, a new national survey from Public Policy Polling (D) finds that Americans are almost evenly divided on whether they would want to stick with President Obama -- or go back to George W. Bush. The poll asked: "Would you rather have Barack Obama or George W. Bush as President right now?" The answer was Obama 48%, Bush 46%, within the ±3.9% margin of error. Consider what a close result this is, compared to...

    Poll: 46% want Bush back By Eric Zimmermann - 04/14/10 11:02 AM ET Almost half of Americans prefer George W. Bush to President Obama, according to a new Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey. Forty-six percent of respondents said they'd like to have Bush back in the White House, while 48% prefer Obama. From PPP: Bush had atrocious approval ratings for his final few years in office, particularly because he lost a lot of support from Republicans and conservative leaning independents. Those folks may not have liked him but they now say they would rather have him back than Obama. 87%...

    In the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama was supposed to run against John McCain. But, early on, he decided that he’d much rather run against George W. Bush. Obama was elected. But the campaign against Bush continues to this day. Whenever Obama gets in a tight scrape or suffers a setback or loses part of the electorate, he blames Bush. After the voters of Massachusetts elected Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate, ABC News’ George Stephanopolous asked Obama to interpret the election results. “People are angry,” Obama responded, “and they’re frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the...

    "Miss Me Yet?" Bush Merchandise a Hit Online Posted by Stephanie Condon The cheery image of former President George W. Bush appeared on a billboard in Minnesota earlier this month, next to the words, "Miss me yet?" It appears a lot of people think it's a fair question. The online store CafePress saw a spike in demand for items featuring the same image as the billboard, the New York Daily News reports. Ten "Miss Me Yet?" items were on the company's list of its top-selling designs, CafePress spokeswoman Jenna Martin told the Daily News. "There were no Obama-themed designs on...

    A controversial billboard along Highway 41 is catching people's attention. It calls for President Obama to be removed from office. The spot, near the Oshkosh Correctional Institute, is also becoming a popular spot for motorists to pull over and snap a picture. "The sign kind of struck me as being very forceful. I was driving up to Green Bay this morning and saw it. It just surprised me that a sign like that would be out there, that blatant," said Gary Fox, of Waukesha. Fox said he agrees with the 'Impeach Obama' billboard. The tagline is: 'America's small businesses are...

    There´s a sign in a highway in Minnesota (I-35) with a photo of President Bush waving at drivers, with the words "Miss me yet?." This sign in Minnesota reflects how much Americans are missing George W. Bush. A non-scientific poll in (leftist) web site AOL News shows 52% miss President Bush, 14% Miss him somewhat, and 34% Don´t miss him. People in both sides of the aisle are beginning to realize the era of hopey and changey is dead, because socialism didn´t work. Many Obama supporters (the moderates, the socialists will never wake up... Brain death) are turning their back...

    WYOMING, Minn.- A billboard along an interstate highway in rural Minnesota has a simple message -- a picture of former President George W. Bush and the question "Miss me yet?" The sign has been up for about a month but only recently began attracting national attention. Speculation also began about who was paying for it. A spokeswoman for Schubert and Hoey Outdoor Advertising in Minneapolis told Minnesota Public Radio there's a simple answer: "A group of small business owners who feel like Washington is against them." Reaction to the billboard has been mixed in Wyoming, a small town about 30...

    Former President George W. Bush is back, popping up on a Minnesota billboard funded by people who aren't happy with the way things are going in Washington. The billboard features a king-sized picture of the former president, with a tagline that reads "Miss me yet?" "It's really got people's attention. It's making them think," said Wyoming Mayor Sheldon Anderson. Anderson, a Republican, says he doesn't know who funded the billboard, but he agrees with it. "I think it's time government stayed out of the pockets of the people and is this billboard getting that message across? I don't know but...

    No, it’s not “fatcat bankers” or “teabaggers” or critics of Obama’s terror policy or whoever today’s enemy du jour is. Surprise: Mary Teske, the general manager of Schubert & Hoey Outdoor Advertising reports, “The Bush Miss Me Yet? billboard was paid for by a group of small business owners who feel like Washington is against them. They wish to remain anonymous. They thought it was a fun way of getting out their message.” Various people have stepped forward around the country to claim credit — the latest was a gentleman in upstate New York from what I can tell in...
