powerclown......would you care to elaborate and explain how your visualization of a giant iron cock contributed anything of value to the discussion?
GHW Bush's library cost under $100 million; Clinton's cost under $200 million (plus another $200+ million for the foundation's other activities).
GW Bush has a goal of raising $500 million for his library alone....half in the form of "mega-donations" from wealth "friends of the family" including the Saudi and Kuwaiti royal families.
Why should donations to presidential libraries be treated less than campaign donations (which are required by law to be disclosed)....at the very least during the time when a president is raising funds while still in office?
This is not a partisan issue.
