Bush Pulls In $100M for Library

President Bush certainly wasn’t Mr. Popular during his final days in office, but he’s managed to pull in $100 million in as many days for a presidential library to house his official papers. Bush’s longtime financial backers raised the impressive pot of money in a highly organized fundraising effort that’s paying off quickly—it took President Clinton about two years to reach the $100 million mark. Southern Methodist University will host the library in Dallas, where the George W. Bush Presidential Center will soon be built on 25 acres. The center also will include a museum.
