Laura and George Bush's First Home for Sale

Here's a great gift idea for the GOP die-hard in your family: The first home of President George Bush and First Lady Laura Bush is on the market.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Listed for $239,900, the home at 1405 W. Golf Course Road has 2,406 square feet and was built in 1976, one year before the Bushes moved in.

With light airy spaces and a mostly concrete back patio ("low maintenance yard" is how Realtor Ruth Young puts it), the home is where the couple had their daughters (1981) and the future president ran for Congress, and lost, in 1978.... It still boasts Laura Bush's original drapes, and offers buyers a chance to cook on Laura Bush's original stove.

Guess What?

It's a foreclosure!
