Guided by the principles of freedom, opportunity, responsibility and compassion, the George W. Bush Institute is committed to serious, independent research
aimed at generating practical solutions to important public policy problems. The Institute will attract world-class scholars and provide an important voice in
policy discussion and development. It will draw upon the resources of Southern Methodist University, the wealth of research material catalogued in the archives,
and the unique ability of a former President and First Lady to convene, spotlight and inspire. Often working with partners from non-profit private institutions,
businesses and government agencies, the Institute will transform ideas into action.

Areas of Focus

The Institute will initially focus on four areas of research:

Education
Global health
Human freedom
Economic growth
Each area of research will have an associated action strategy developed in partnership with foundations, social entrepreneurs, NGOs, government entities and faith-based organizations.
In short, a major part of the Institute's mission is to turn ideas into action.

1. Is this from the Onion?

Ideas = Action??

Idea, steal an election
Idea, lie about WMD
Idea, spend high, tax low

I do agree that bush and his fellow dickheads need an institution.

Either that, or let's refurbish the prison on Alcatraz and dump the whole damned lot of them there.

3. Thanks a lot,

I just threw up a little in my mouth. :puke:

Why all the sudden interest in "freedom, opportunity, responsibility and compassion"? What a pile of horse sh*t! And that picture is just infuriating--the pretend He-Man.

I'm sure that their cronies will fund it well, though. :mad:

Liberated millions of people around the world from tyranny and oppressive regimes

10. They're "committed to serious, independent research"

It's pretty sad when your reputation is so blighted that you have to assure people your institute is going to be "serious". It's a lie of course. The "research" will be neither "serious" nor "independent" but it's telling nonetheless that they felt the need to use those words.
