King George has been deposed and reduced to a number.
No Secret Agent Man he is.
George W. Bush is doing the same thing that Richard Nixon did after he left the White House. No doubt he's waited two years to build up steam and gather all his PR wonks to come up with a strategy to put a positive front for his pathetic presidential years. He's attempting to lay claim to efforts to combat AIDS in Africa.
Richard Nixon may have done a number of good things during his Administration such as creating the EPA. This was done only after charges of creating "ceremonial" bodies such a Cabinet level Environmental Control Council and a Citizens Advisory Committee. I'd say though that Nixon reacted more responsibly to his critics than George Dubya did during his administration.
Here is the history of the Birth of the EPA:

What is George W going to do now I wonder? He's no doubt been engaging pollsters over the past few years to gauge the best possible spin tactics. This is what Nixon did in the Eighties. I know that personally as I was working as a messenger at that time and delivered a package from the Lou Harris polling organization to his office in the Federal Building in NYC.
Unfortunately the American People have such a short attention span that they forget all the murders done in the two wars that were started on his watch. Those who blame Barack Obama for all the sins of the previous administration have failed to learn or understand recent history.

Ukelo is a planet that was recently discovered in the 24th century and is in the process of being explored for colonization potential. Stay tuned for Ukelo updates. | Photo taken: 2009-10-02 14:37:00. Tags: art, duck, five pointz, graf, graffiti, robot. Albums: Five Points Graf.
