Bush says he and Laura will move to Dallas when term ends

WASHINGTON — In a meeting with mayors on Wednesday, President Bush confirmed what's been an open secret: He'll move to Dallas when his term is over a year from now.

Bush greeted a dozen mayors gathered in the White House's Roosevelt Room and stopped when he came to Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert.

"There's my new mayor," Bush said, according to Leppert.

Arlington, Texas, Mayor Robert Cluck, who also attended the meeting, said that when Bush sat down to talk to the mayors about free-trade deals and the economy, he said, "I want to make sure I do a good job today because my mayor's in the room." Cluck said he believes that Bush also said, "I'm moving to Dallas."

The president and his wife, Laura, have many ties to the city: They lived in North Dallas when he was managing general partner of the Texas Rangers, and the Bush presidential library is all-but-certain to be located at Southern Methodist University, which is in Dallas. An affiliated think tank, the Freedom Institute, is also planned for the site.

The White House has refused to confirm any of the speculation.

"The president and Mrs. Bush have made no announcement about their post-White House plans," said White House deputy press secretary Gordon Johndroe, "except that they'll be spending a lot of time in Crawford," where the president's ranch is located.

Who knew? :shrug:

I was all set to post that exact comeback when I clicked on the subj and there you were.

good job!

Bush no longer needs to act like he's one of the ordinary people

And move to the city where life isn't as rigorous and medical attention is more accessible. Bush is a man of the land and I'm sure a sense of deep loss racks him. Being forced to the big city will hang heavy on his contemplative mind.

There goes the city!

It sucks!

Nobody would live there by choice, (unless political)

His "ranch" is nice......but you can't buy any Gucci there.

I would think he might try UAE.......(his kin)

Maybe if I ask he'll give me the boots with the presidential seal on 'em.

it never worked. The only thing he has is the boots, and his socks, and his tightywhiteys. All with the royal residential crest on them.

in a small town. n/t

:rofl:

O8)

I'm in Irving, but that's still TOO DAMN CLOSE.
