Welcome home: The party awaiting the Bushes in Midland
posted at 5:30 pm on January 20, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Washington DC won’t throw the only parties today. The people of Midland have a Texas-sized celebration of their own planned for the return of George and Laura Bush. They’ve had the streets closed since Friday and expect a big turnout:
Eight years ago, this West Texas city hosted a send-off as then-President-elect George W. Bush headed for the White House. The community is now poised for a welcome home celebration.
Bush and his wife, Laura, plan to head to Midland on Tuesday afternoon after the inauguration of Barack Obama in Washington, D.C.
Some city streets have been closed since Friday and almost all of the 20,000 free tickets to the celebration have been handed out.
They’ll have country music for the free party and concert, with Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers and Lee Greenwood on the bill. Governor Rick Perry will welcome the Bushes back to Texas. Later, the Bushes will make their way to a new home in a Dallas suburb for some rest after eight years of service.
Will George Bush stay out of national politics after his retirement? Most former presidents can’t resist the limelight. Bill Clinton missed it so much that he had his wife run for the presidency, while Jimmy Carter couldn’t keep his nose out of American foreign policy. George H. W. Bush has limited himself to charitable efforts for the most part, and I’d guess that W will follow his father’s example. He will likely write a book to tell his side of the story — I can’t think of anyone who has more need to do so — and do a media tour in support of it. After that, we’ll probably only hear from him for fundraisers and the like.

Holy Molely, do you realize who Dick Cheney really is?
Mr. Joe on January 20, 2009 at 5:31 PM
Based on the above, what does that make George W. Bush?
Mr. Joe on January 20, 2009 at 5:32 PM
The full benefit of GWB being president during these years will be markedly manifest after two years into the Obama fiasco.
THEN it’ll be party time.
csdeven on January 20, 2009 at 5:33 PM
Will they be serving arugula….?
NeoKong on January 20, 2009 at 5:34 PM
That’s because Texans have class, unlike the lib-tard elites and government hand-out dolts!
Thank you President Bush for everything, especially keeping us safe, enjoy your rest, you deserve it!
Liberty or Death on January 20, 2009 at 5:34 PM
I doubt GW will miss the limelite. He will probably be hard to find most of the time.
BoomJunkie on January 20, 2009 at 5:35 PM
Obama is not worthy of wiping GW’s $%#……..Mr. Hopenchange is now elected so time to stop the stump speaches and do something……OH that’s right, all he can do is give speaches…..
Exit Question: Can sitting presidents vote “Present”????
SDarchitect on January 20, 2009 at 5:35 PM
Now, that sounds like a fun party. I assume that there will be barbecue and beer.
meltenn on January 20, 2009 at 5:36 PM
SPAM ALERT. One post is enough, Mr. Joe.
BigD on January 20, 2009 at 5:38 PM
I’ll bet “The One” will try every time he gets a chance!
BoomJunkie on January 20, 2009 at 5:38 PM
Now that’s a party I would’ve liked to attend today. I worry that this man doesn’t realize how much he means to some (many) of us.
Least of These on January 20, 2009 at 5:39 PM
Are they going to be allowed to have bottled water and fried foods?
I would take that party over the gag-fests occurring in D.C. even if it were raining spiders and Manson were running loose somewhere in the crowd.
I’ve never been to a real Texas BBQ, I’ll bet this one will be a blast.
Bishop on January 20, 2009 at 5:40 PM
I’m in/from Midland. Just left the event after trying to get in. Standing room only. Totally packed. Lines to get it went for city blocks. I saw an earlier MSM report a day or so ago that referenced the “hundreds” of people that event planners were anticipating. No doubt that is the story….narrative rather….than the MSM wants.
This isn’t hundreds. it is thousands and thousands of people. In a town of roughly 100,000.
All without Springsteen or Bono.
Natalie on January 20, 2009 at 5:40 PM
Oh yeah, I like that! TX BBQ. Root beer. Damn, I want some pork ribs!
I wish I could go, but I’m at the “Any Moment Now” part of the final phase of my pregnancy. The partying might make me go into labor early!
newton on January 20, 2009 at 5:41 PM
Thank you Mr. Bush for your service and welcome home to Texas.

Texans put on the dog.
God Bless Texas and President and Mrs. Bush.
HornetSting on January 20, 2009 at 5:42 PM
That’s one party I would like to attend…….
…….. Thank You President George W. Bush!!!
Maybe we can get him to contribute to HotAir……?
……… what say you Ed, give him a call.
Seven Percent Solution on January 20, 2009 at 5:42 PM
Loads of trans-fats, one assumes. Nanny Bloomberg would not approve.
Wethal on January 20, 2009 at 5:42 PM
It would beat the Obamasiah circle jerk going on in DC right now for sure!
Liberty or Death on January 20, 2009 at 5:43 PM
God bless you George W. Bush — enjoy your rest, you’ve earned it.
Obama? Good luck.
Richard Romano on January 20, 2009 at 5:43 PM
How inspiring. Texas hearts teh Bushes.
PS – Cheney looked like Mr. Potter in It’s a Wonderful Life.
Vernon Hardapple on January 20, 2009 at 5:43 PM
I really , really would like to see the list of stuff President Bush advises me to buy to get through the next 4 yrs.

Neither of which will have to alter their lyrics one bit.
Matticus Finch on January 20, 2009 at 5:44 PM
We need more citizen politicians. Those that go do their job and then go back to their lives. The start of the downfall of America came with the first career politician.
VolMagic on January 20, 2009 at 5:44 PM
Mr. & Mrs. Bush deserve the party and a good rest. I didn’t agree with everything he did, but he did a great job with 9/11 and that was the big one. The Texas party sounds way more fun than the White House bash. Better food, nicer people, better entertainment and pleasant weather. Good for them, the should just relax and enjoy.
UnEasyRider on January 20, 2009 at 5:44 PM
George Bush for President of Texas – You a’ll can keep the change and your bankrupt states.
izoneguy on January 20, 2009 at 5:44 PM
And I still can’t, for the life of me, figure out why a former president who, by any objective measure, had a presidency that was an absolute disaster, felt the need to chime in on current events.
For the love of God, Jimmah, get over it. You fumbled your shot at history, and you’re only making yourself look like a fool now.
Gotta give Clinton credit. He’s been mostly silent the past eight years regarding W’s actions. Good for him.
Hawkins1701 on January 20, 2009 at 5:45 PM
And Al-Qaeda hearts the Obamas. How sweet.
VolMagic on January 20, 2009 at 5:45 PM
Welcome home to the Bushes! We’re glad you’re here!
Vernon Hardapple: You’re an A$$. Go to Kos.
mimi1220 on January 20, 2009 at 5:47 PM
Not sure if he will.
Bush strikes me as a man who is content to let history judge him, and doesn’t really care one way or the other.
He did what he felt was right, and that’s enough for him.
I am so grateful that he stuck to his guns on Iraq and Afghanistan when so many hated him for it.
Hawkins1701 on January 20, 2009 at 5:47 PM
Thanks GW. Wish I were there.
oakpack on January 20, 2009 at 5:48 PM
Heh, excellent point. Yep, those lefty “speak truth to power” morons are so brave, unless of course it hits them in their wallet or could embarass them in front of their new messiah!
Oh and I like your HA name!
Liberty or Death on January 20, 2009 at 5:48 PM
G-d bless you George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Thank you for keeping us safe and trying your best to do the best for us, despite the vicious, petty and sometimes dangerous opposition and downright hatred of you both personally.
I am one New Yorker who wishes I could be with you to celebrate your coming home.
J.J. Sefton on January 20, 2009 at 5:49 PM
Yep. He’ll be clearing brush at the ranch, which is a favorite pastime of mine too. Welcome back home Mr. Bush, and thanks for keeping us safe.
txsurveyor on January 20, 2009 at 5:49 PM
Thanks for throwing this party Midland, and Odessa too?
Not as many anti-American terrorists in Texas as there are in Chicago.
juliesa on January 20, 2009 at 5:50 PM
It would beat the Obamasiah circle jerk going on in DC right now for sure!
Liberty or Death on January 20, 2009 at 5:43 PM
Ugh, delicate little meatless sandwiches, low fat dip and spinach leaves, washed down with sparkling water and zinfandel. Standing around chittering about what a dummy Bush was and pretending to understand the ugly art on the wall.
I would rather be thrown into a metal shredder.
Bishop on January 20, 2009 at 5:50 PM
Yeah well vermin, er, uh I meant vernon, in the famous words of Mel Brooks as King Louis in the movie History of the World Part I, “yeah well you look like a bucket of SH*%T!!!”
Oh and you probably smell like a bucket of Shiite too vermin, er, uh, I meant vernon, yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket!
Liberty or Death on January 20, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Bishop on January 20, 2009 at 5:50 PM
That will be a great party. And I bet they say “Grace” before they eat. Real people eating real food.
kingsjester on January 20, 2009 at 5:53 PM
Ed, the Bushes will live in Dallas, not a suburb of Dallas. Prestonwood, where they will live, is an area in the northern part of Dallas, rather than a separate suburb.
jim m on January 20, 2009 at 5:53 PM
Heh. The Inaugural Party Bubble Bursts. (Tickets marked down to fill rooms!)
Wethal on January 20, 2009 at 5:54 PM
Yep, I’d rather have a root-canal without anisthetic!
Liberty or Death on January 20, 2009 at 5:54 PM
Wish I could be there,..OR AT LEAST SEE SOME VIDEO!!!!
christene on January 20, 2009 at 5:55 PM
I love that part, nice contrast to the Obama cash machine/parties ogin on in D.C.
God bess you, sir.
ThePrez on January 20, 2009 at 5:56 PM
At least there won’t be any ‘tingling’ legs at THAT party!
HornetSting on January 20, 2009 at 5:56 PM
Cyclops?
I considered going to that event, but unfortunately my husband doesn’t share my views.
Esthier on January 20, 2009 at 5:58 PM
Are you going to post that stupid link on every post today?
right2bright on January 20, 2009 at 5:59 PM
Even though I didn’t agree with Bush on many issues I am deeply grateful for his commitment to the safety of this country and its citizens. I remember how 9/11 altered our lives, and I think Bush understood what had to be done. It wasn’t what he anticipated or wanted for his presidency, yet he did what he felt was necessary.
While the left screams about abuses one wonders how their lives were changed or imposed upon. Ingrates, all of them. They live to whine another day because of the unpopular choices Bush had to make. He took enormous abuse without complaining.
I wish him and Laura all the best. They won’t
imposeinflict themselves on the public in retirement as Clinton did, or Carter.We’re in a free-for-all now with neophytes who lack grace, integrity and the sense of duty for the responsibility assumed.
God help us all.
Cody1991 on January 20, 2009 at 6:00 PM
I just drove by his new house in Dallas and there were several police blocking off his cul de sac.
carbon_footprint on January 20, 2009 at 6:03 PM
actually their home is inthe Preston Hollow area of Dallas, not a suburb.
beens21 on January 20, 2009 at 6:03 PM
Heh, someone on the news just mentioned that the Obamas moved into their new digs with everything in order, the smell of new paint and no keys from the keyboards missing..
Oh, yeah. Those Arkansas, white trash Clintons. Classy all the way. Anyone want to guess how many deals Hillary will make for the
Clinton Librarytreasury?Cody1991 on January 20, 2009 at 6:05 PM
They’re going to put up a gate to block off traffic on the street that goes into the cul-de-sac they live on.
jim m on January 20, 2009 at 6:05 PM
When I woke up today the t.v. was on. The first thing I saw was John Cusack’s balding spot. HAHAHAHAHA. You vain stupid little man.
President Bush, I will miss you. Maybe not as much as I miss Reagan, but hell, he was REAGAN. God bless you an your family. Enjoy your party. Stay safe and I hope the libs leave you in peace.
amynorw on January 20, 2009 at 6:06 PM
Any truth to the rumor that, in leiu of fireworks, they’re just going to watch Cindy Sheehan’s head explode?
CurtZHP on January 20, 2009 at 6:06 PM
President Bush,
You have done an excellent job leading and protecting this nation. We thank you for a job well done. May your days be enjoyed and filled with peace. You will be greatly missed. We love you. May God bless you and your family!
Wilberforce_chick on January 20, 2009 at 6:11 PM
Thank GWB for your service.
Every big city shrink will be booked solid for years trying to repair BDS.
We wish the kid well but guess that he will have the loyal media on his ass soon if he just talks the talk.
Blue dogs are gonna give Nan a fit and Ted is not well.
What a great day to enjoy.
I have outlasted 12 presidents and will out last a few more.
The people are this country not some idol from hollywad.
Col.John Wm. Reed on January 20, 2009 at 6:14 PM
Wish I could’ve been there. Rather be there, than here in the seat of the Obamanation.
(I will be moving to TX within the next five years though).
Dubn8tr on January 20, 2009 at 6:15 PM
Welcome home, Mr. President. Sorry you had to hear all those ungrateful chants from some of the crowd today wishing you ill or just wishing you gone.
You kept us all safe and your heart, always, was in a good place. For our country. That is the way you will be remembered here in our homeland of Texas, and ultimately in the history books.
Under treaty and the law of the land, we here in Texas can still split into 5 separate states, thus giving us 8 more U.S. senators. I hope that your experience in Washington might now inform you as to the significance of this, and that you might consider lending your considerable influence here to such an effort.
Godspeed to you and our country.
TXUS on January 20, 2009 at 6:15 PM
Bushs’ record domestically will needlessly suffer because of the stupid GOP and Democrat Congress refusal to kill the CRA and his awful spending habits.
But Obama has to stop every terrorist attempt to prove Bush was not exceptionally brilliant in foreign policy and security.
jjshaka on January 20, 2009 at 6:16 PM
THAT sounds like a much better party than what is going on in D.C.
Rockygold on January 20, 2009 at 6:20 PM
I wish our president well.
But i hope and pray that after both parties are over
That pelozi and the demorats dont send out their
nazi goons to have both president bush and vice president
cheney ARRESTED for the crime of
Trying to DEFEND the United states of america.
The democrats are all ready
licking their chops
hoping to ARREST president Bush for the crime of
Trying to Win in Iraq when
EACH and EVERY democrat was PUBLICLY CALLING OUR SOLDIERS
MASS MURDERERS
When the leadership of CONGRESS AND THE HOUSE
PUBLICLY DECLARED THAT
we CANT WIN…
I wish to warn pelozi and the democratic FILTH that
If you DARE try to do this..
We will respond with pitchforks and FIRE..
So take your winnings, let president bush go..
and then you can play traitors all you wish to your new islamic overloards..
jcila on January 20, 2009 at 6:22 PM
Mr. Bush is probably having himself a nice big cold beer.
johnnyU on January 20, 2009 at 6:25 PM
I think he should hold a press conference right away.
‘To the ladies and gentlemen of the press, to code pink, to the Democrat caucus and to the rest of you fever swamp, mouth breathing, Libspaz nay-sayers….KISS MY ASS!’
Thank you…now get the hell off my lawn.
BigWyo on January 20, 2009 at 6:27 PM
Best of luck with the baby. I am sure Pres Bush will understand :)
Dawnsblood on January 20, 2009 at 6:31 PM
Welcome home Mr. President and Mrs Bush.
Thank you for keeping us safe.
Texyank on January 20, 2009 at 6:32 PM
Mostly liberals will write his history and the part that has the most legacy and what he should and never will get credit for is the large number of conservative judges he’s appointed nationwide.
Speakup on January 20, 2009 at 6:36 PM
You won’t find pork at a Texas BBQ, nor will you (typically) find sauce. But–I agree. I like any kind of BBQ, Texas style or Carolina style.
As for President Bush, I don’t expect him to stay in the lime light. He’s not a media hound, and everybody knows he doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him. Thanks for your service, President Bush.
Tom Blogical on January 20, 2009 at 6:42 PM
If anyone’s ever earned himself a nice, stiff shot of Scotch it’s George W. Bush. If you judge a man by the quality of his enemies then GWB will go down as a great man.
Percy_Peabody on January 20, 2009 at 6:43 PM
Can’t wait to join you in Texas Mr. President, I’ll be there in one more week.
Last week in Stinktown, DC. Can’t wait to get out of this hole.
NoDonkey on January 20, 2009 at 6:46 PM
No, that’s not spinach, it’s arugula. :o)
Bigfoot on January 20, 2009 at 6:49 PM
Hmmm…not too sure I agree with that…
Unless you mean his enemies had qualities that make me want to puke….
BigWyo on January 20, 2009 at 6:50 PM
I’m so jealous.
Dubn8tr on January 20, 2009 at 6:54 PM
It’s hard to say goodbye to president Bush. I had tears in my eyes watching his speech in texas. What a GREAT man
ousoonerfan15 on January 20, 2009 at 6:56 PM
You won’t find pork at a Texas BBQ, nor will you (typically) find sauce. But–I agree.
–Actually, that’s not correct (we were told the same when we moved here). Dickey’s, one of the largest BBQ chains, has pork and beef and sauce, and we just had pulled pork with sauce at a restaurant in the Fort Worth stockyard area.
jim m on January 20, 2009 at 6:57 PM
I don’t know where you’re moving to in Texas, No Donkey, but you might end up being disappointed by the political climate. Texas overall is becoming more moderate.
jim m on January 20, 2009 at 6:58 PM
On September 12, 2001, if you would have assured the country that no further attack would occur in this country under President Bush’s watch, Congress would have immediately moved to have his face become the fifth one on Mt. Rushmore.
Alas, we are now a country with the memory of Dori from Finding Nemo.
When Bush lays his head down to sleep tonight, he will know he did his job and will be rightfully proud.
We Texans are proud to have him home.
Sugar Land on January 20, 2009 at 7:02 PM
Texas too moderate? Then try East Tennessee.
Pelayo on January 20, 2009 at 7:02 PM
If the last two Democratic presidents have shown us anything, it’s that they have no ‘class’.
GarandFan on January 20, 2009 at 7:11 PM
Texas sounds like a wonderful state. Never had the chance to go there. I can’t get over the people on the left who just can’t let go of the BDS. They should be celebrating the inauguration, not continuing to disparage George Bush, who did what he thought was right for this country and made some very difficult decisions during his presidency. God bless you sir and thank you for your service.
Callie C. on January 20, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Po-TUS Obama
America the best

I bet that book would be interesting. I know I will buy it. Good luck Mr. Bush.
Terrye on January 20, 2009 at 7:16 PM
I didn’t vote for Bush, I voted for Gore. Then came 9/11. And since 9/12/01 I’ve been safe. And very grateful. I have raised a son who was barely out of Kindergarten safely and he’s going to enter High School next year. I will always be grateful to GWB. Always. He’s a man of his word. If you go back to his speech on 9/13/01 you will see that every single word he spoke, he stuck to, through thick and thin. He’s a man of his word.
Let’s see how Obama does. Big shoes to fill.
Key West Reader on January 20, 2009 at 7:23 PM
My daughter’s going to Texas Tech in Lubbock, about 70 miles north of you, this fall, TexasJew. Lubbock does look like a conservative area.
I agree that West Texas (other than El Paso, which is probably also South Texas) won’t be getting more moderate, but it looks like the major cities have gone Dem and that the big suburbs have gotten more moderate.
jim m on January 20, 2009 at 7:39 PM
It’ll be nice for the Bush family to get back to the (white) people of Texas.
benny shakar on January 20, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Bush has earned his rest, we’ve all seen how the Presidency ages holders of the office. I expect we’ll see relatively little of GWB in the public eye until the 2012 GOP convention. Hopefully by then his legacy will be better appreciated, we just have to pray for the nation’s sake that that isn’t because “well, at least Bush kept us safe” has become a condemnation of the the Obama administration.
I think GWB will slide into the elder stateman role with ease and grace, just as he handled his departure. His Presidency has had its final act, the epilogue will be the opening of his Presidential library. I hope he gets to see that, he’s earned at least one more day of appreciation from the nation, or at the least from those who understood his true worth.
Godspeed, Mr. President. Thank you for your service.
tagryn on January 20, 2009 at 7:55 PM
jim m on January 20, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Well, I now live in El Paso, which is a real outlier for West Texas, since people like my wife – a 4th generation West Texan – has absolutely no Texas accent.
Lubbock, Abilene, Odessa, Midland and points in between are much more conservative.
30-40 years ago, the only places in Texas with any Republcians in them was Midland-Odessa (that’s why GW Bush could have run for office there in the 70s), Dallas, the Panhandle, and some Houston suburbs (like where GHW Bush represented in the 60s and early 70s).
My mom met G HW Bush in a supermarket on Stella Link in Houston in 1970 when he was running for the Senate (I believe) and she told him that he was about the first Republican that she had ever met in Houston. Bush was running as a moderate, compared to the hyperconservative Lloyd Bentsen who had defeated the liberal Ralph Yarborough for the Senate. LBJ hated Yaqrborough and backed Bentsen, btw.. Bentsen said that Yarborough was too pro-hippie..
Texas Democrats were often racist and were ALWAYS nasty bastards. They owned ths whole state and you didn’t work for the state if you were not a Democrat. Now they still are nasty, petty bastards. I knew Molly Ivins back then when she co-edited the left-lib Texas Observer. ‘Nuff said…
TexasJew on January 20, 2009 at 7:56 PM
What a nasty little person you are. But then you know that don’t you?

Hey Joe I liked the link, totally fitted as a description of Dick Cheney, that man is awesome.
TDBURN on January 20, 2009 at 8:03 PM
I thank God every day I found a way out of Northern Virginia.
Next year, Virginia will probably have “Governor Terry McCauliffe”.
And my Congressman is Jim Moran.
I can’t leave Virginia fast enough and I’ve lived here for 16 years.
NoDonkey on January 20, 2009 at 8:05 PM
San Antone – and “moderate” would be an improvement over the People’s Republic of Northern Virginia, which is becoming like San Francisco without the Pacific.
And there’s no dispute the weather’s warmer.
NoDonkey on January 20, 2009 at 8:08 PM
benny shakar on January 20, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Did you, maybe once, look at the Cabinet photos in the past 8 years? More diverse than Clintons, and probably more than Obama’s will be too.
Tool.
Anyhoo, I have an opinion on the Bush book- don’t hold your breath. I see Bush as someone who will want to set the record straight, but he won’t kneecap Obama by rushing it to print. He’s gonna give Obama a chance to serve effectively without righting all the wrongs the left/media have done over the years. As historians wake up more fully from their BDS trance, the timing will be right for a thoughtful look at his 8 years.
I just hope it hits in time to help usher Obama out in the next election, but we’ll see.
cs89 on January 20, 2009 at 8:12 PM
The biggest celebration of Mr. Bush’s life and accomplishments will come when his motorcade drives, flags waving, to his resting place.
Then will come the only moment that George W. Bush has ever cared about: Meeting his Maker, and entering his Kingdom.
What a man he was, and is. I thank God for giving him to us in our time of need, and I pray for him every day. I hope for him a long, happy life of retirement, and a peaceful walk to Heaven.
bonnie_ on January 20, 2009 at 8:13 PM
Well written and I completely agree.
NoDonkey on January 20, 2009 at 8:14 PM
I regret that I spent my 4 months in Texas hating the state (went to school in San Angelo). There are some great people down there, and the Bushes are two of them.
Hope they had a wonderful time at the party!
Anna on January 20, 2009 at 8:15 PM
Best not to respond to the Toilet Bug that is ShankRoid…It is a very unhappy person…and not really all that bright to begin with. 99% of it’s posts are exactly like the one you responded to…best to let it fester in it’s hate and not acknowledge it’s pathetic ‘Hey, pay attention to me’ horseshit…
BigWyo on January 20, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Dang I wish I could be back in my home town tonight for this. It’s not often that I wish to be back in Midland but today is one of those days.
conservnut on January 20, 2009 at 8:30 PM
NoDonkey: San Antonio is fairly moderate. At least you are not coming to a bit of the People’s-Republic-of_California (PRC) Deep-in-the-Heart-of-Texas: Austin.

Actually the statement should have been you won’t find pork at real Texas Bar-b-que. Coopers in Llano is the Bushes favorite. (and mine)
But you are right about the sauce. No thick sugary sauces here. Just a vinegar based mopping sauce during the smoking process. Then let the beef speak for itself.
Damn, I’m hungry.

I was born and raised in Wyoming, and was privileged to have met the Cheney’s as house guests when I was a kid.
After a stint in Tokyo, I moved to Austin Tx, where again I was privileged to meet several of the Bush clan.
Some of their ideas are right. Some are surely wrong. But good, good people, with the right priorities one and all.
