Let's See Who's Funding The Bush Presidential Library

The costliest prez library ever

"Among the contributors to the Presidential Library are:
A sheik from the United Arab Emirates, who contributed at least $1 million.

The state of Kuwait.
The Bandar bin Sultan family.
The Sultanate of Oman.
King Hassan II of Morocco.
The amir of Qatar.
The former Korean prime minister.
China also gave tens of thousands of dollars to the library. In addition, funds were received from the late Kenneth Lay, the former head of Enron, and Dick Cheney, the current Vice President
."

It seems the good folks at Southern Methodist University, the proposed site, have a slight objection to it being located there.

"I received a press release the other day from Rev. Andrew J. Weaver, an outspoken critic of Bush's plan to house the library at SMU. Weaver points out that in a recent vote among members of the United Methodist Church members voted 844-20 on a petition calling for the rejection of the Bush project."
