Bush Legacy Bus in town for the RNC

Today the Bush Legacy Tour stopped in St. Paul to display their exhibition about the Bush administration. The converted greyhound bus contains information on the energy crisis, the Katrina disaster, the war in Iraq and other areas where the Bush Administration has been publicly criticized. According to tour Press Secretary Julie Blust, the purpose of the bus tour is to expose people to the failing policies that George W. Bush implemented during his days as the President of America, and to ensure they are not continued. “McCain will be a continuation of the Bush legacy,” Blust stated.

The tour, funded by a non-profit organization, started off in Washington DC on the 24th of June 2008 just one block away from the White House and has been out o the road ever since. The tour has made stops in Dayton, Ohio; Crawford, Texas; and in Denver, Colorado for the Democratic National Convention. The last month of the tour has not been scheduled, but the bus is currently stationed at the home of Dan Reed in St. Paul and will remain active here during the RNC.

Dan Reed, who hosted the tour gathering, claims that his neighborhood is highly political active and therefore decided to hold their own neighborhood rally in support of the Bush Legacy Bus Tour. Reed believes that the nomination of Governor Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate won’t help his chances in traditionally liberal Minnesota. “McCain will not win this state,” Dan Reed stated.

Admitting that he at first supported Sen. Hillary Clinton, Reed claimed that after gaining knowledge about Sen. Barack Obama and the new direction he promises to bring, he changed his thoughts on a potential Obama-presidency. “Let’s take this to the next level, let’s get a change,” Reed said
