They knew the dissing of W was coming, since both presidential candidates used former President Bush as a punching bag last year. So when Barack Obama took over, some Bushies vowed to play defense when W's record was maligned. Thus was born www.43alumni.com, an online community of former Bush team members. "In the age of Facebook," says Bush spokesman Rob Saliterman, "it made sense to create the page to stay in touch with each other." Besides networking, 43alumni will be countering stories about Bush that his team feels are unfair. A section called Setting the Record Straight, says Saliterman, "will be responding to misleading and inaccurate comments about the president's record." The site is still under construction but will be up and running by summer. It will be funded with dues paid by Bushies.

Bush

George Bush is a class A unindicted war criminal. Dr. Michael Haas, just one of many eminent international jurists that have done the necessary research, has determined that GWB is liable to over 250 war crimes and crimes against humanity. The world has had quite enough of USA's sadistic butchery. Good for Spain for launching torture proceedings. Clearly, since America isn't capable of cleaning up its own act, the international community will have to do it for them.

Bush

Bush had his time and I feel did his job for us in his way. We have a new administration an it is seeking to get the US back on track. It is about making this country work the people. I know it is going to take time but feel that with all the people working on this nation we will make it! The people want this for us and our children. More issuses will arise and we must be ready to work through them as they come and plan ahead. We all have to do something to get the best result. I going to work with our leaders to find the best result.
