The great debate over where this new "Presidential Library" would be located really got a rise out of many of us Texans. I'd say the overwhelming majority of us Dallasites did NOT want the Bush Library IN Dallas. When the news was made that it would indeed be here at SMU it was NOT trumpeted at all in the news or by anyone. It was merely a bleep of a comment on the local news and more along the lines of they felt obligated to say SOMETHING about the decision and then quickly moved on to other stories. We are ALL trying hard to sweep this news under the rug. Then last week the Bush family said they would indeed move to Dallas............ urgh. NO, please don't. As I've said for many years this Native Texan can proudly say that I have NEVER Voted for a Bush  . And to let the rest of you know how some of the others in Dallas feel about this here are some of the letters to the editor in todays Dallas Morning News. My fave: Instead of a "Presidential Library" this Bush should just have a "Presidential Bookshelf". LOVE IT!!!!
