For Everyone That Hates Obama READ THIS!!!!!!

And this is just my note on it..The economy is in the shape it's in all the poor people are just getting buy and Busch can afford a 2.1 Million Dollar New Home and WE WOUNDER WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ECONOMY..PEOPLE LIKE BUSCH IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mad  Mad  Mad  Mad  Mad  Mad

President and Mrs. Bush are glad to be back in Dallas, appreciate the warm welcome by their neighbors, and look forward to once again being part of the Dallas community," said Rob Saliterman, a spokesman for Bush's office in Dallas.

The couple's new home has about 8,500 square feet, four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms and a wet bar. Local property records indicate the home on Daria Place is worth about $2.1 million.

The house has a wide front yard and dark shutters, with a gate at the top of the driveway that affords some privacy. The Dallas City Council last month approved installation of a security gate that will eventually block access to the street. There are about half a dozen homes on the cul-de-sac.

Dallas police and Secret Service agents have set up a barricade in recent days limiting access to the neighborhood. They have even turned away delivery vans; packages must be dropped off with security personnel, who hand-deliver them.

The home is in the Preston Hollow area of Dallas, home to some of Texas' wealthiest residents and most expensive homes. Some front lawns have sported "W" signs. Others have signs saying "Welcome home George & Laura."

An elementary school just around the block from the Bushes had a banner displayed outside Friday saying "Kindergarten welcomes President Bush and family."

Bush, the former managing partner of the Texas Rangers in suburban Arlington, will count among his neighbors Tom Hicks, the baseball team's current owner. Hicks owns a 29,000-square-foot mansion and large property adjacent to the cul-de-sac, according to property records.

Other neighborhood homeowners include Mark Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, billionaire businessman T. Boone Pickens, Republican donor Harold Simmons and recently retired Exxon Mobil CEO Lee R. Raymond.

Laura Bush has been staying in Dallas for at least the last few days and has been spotted at area restaurants. The former president has been staying at his ranch in Crawford, about 95 miles south of Dallas. His motorcade drove up from the area Friday, stopping at Bush's Dallas office before continuing to the new home.

It's a homecoming of sorts for the Bushes, who lived in Dallas from December 1988 through January 1995, before moving to the Texas governor's mansion in Austin. Laura Bush is a graduate of nearby Southern Methodist University, which will house her husband's presidential library and think tank.

i dont want to start a political debate, especially in a friendly environment that is about fun racing and not political points of view, but i could not dissagree more.
the USA is not a dictatorship.  no president can take full blame or credit for what happens.  laws are passed by congress and then can be approved or veto'd by the president.  if you ask me, i throw blame at democrats (in the mid 1970's) for forcing banks to lend to people who could not afford a home.  if banks did not comply, they were denied money to lend.  when i started my real estate business in 2004, i bought my first house with a loan.  i had just been laid off 2 months previously, purchased a new car 4 months before, and had no steady income to rely on when i received the loan.  that is one big problem.
as far as his home, if he earned the money legally and he can afford it, i dont see any problem.  he will be paying some big fat property taxes for years to come, and the purchase of the house puts money into other american's pockets.
i think anyone should be able to purchase a house that is expensive, providing they can show they have the finances to pay for it.  at least bush is not charging the secret service and those organizations that protect him several thousand dollars a month to live on their property like bill clinton did.  if anyone makes alot of money and does it legally, id say he can buy as many houses as he wants, and as big as he wants.
as far as wall street and the corporate thieves, i would like to see the gov't prosecute and re-coup the ridiculous bonuses they recieved over the years while running their companies into the ground.
