A 48 foot bus that has been turned into a traveling museum dedicated to President Bush's failed conservative policies rolled into Oklahoma City, Wednesday, October 15. The bus was complete with exhibits on the Bush Legacy dealing with Iraq, Katrina, the economy, the environment and more. The impressive transport, dawning large depictions of Bush's face on both sides, was parked in the south lot outside the State Capitol. The cold, drizzly wind wasn't inviting, but those who did see the exhibit were not disappointed.
Americans United for Change, along with a number of allies including AFL-CIO, SEIU, AFSCME, Vote Vets, American Rights at Work and Health Care for America are sponsoring the "Bush Legacy Project." The US tour began in June and will continue through election day.
On hand to see the exhibit was a film crew from ZDF German Television. They interviewed Julie Blust, the Press Secretary for the Bush Legacy Tour along with other curious visitors. Fanny Facsar, producer for ZDF, and her crew, was busy filming the many interactive exhibits, which included video screens outside the bus featuring Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe. Inhofe has supported the conservative Bush agenda 90% of the time. Another video monitor displayed scenes of John McCain with George Bush, which was entitled "Third Term."
John Scripsick, a farmer from Wayne, Oklahoma, drove up to see the exhibit and meet with his friend Warren Henthorn, from Choctaw. Both men lost their sons in the Iraq war. John was interviewed by ZDF for a documentary they are shooting regarding the November election. Scripsick stated, "The pictures show that small group of men who orchestrated the war over lies and sold it to 300 million American people though the news media. It ended up killing over 4000 of our young soldiers and I don't how many thousands of Iraqi people and I believe they should be held accountable."
