George W. Bush To Become Motivational Speaker

October 22nd, 2009, 11:04 AM EDT

One wonders if the former president will continue to motivate people to elect Democrats.


The 43rd President and his wife, Laura, have signed on to the popular “Get Motivated” seminar program. Bush will headline his first event this Monday in Forth Worth, Tex., then follow it up with an appearance in San Antonio in December.

 

“Maybe it can be like, ‘Do what I say, not what I do,’” University of Virginia political science Prof. Larry Sabato cracked of Bush, whose approval rating at the end of his presidency dipped to a dismal 22%. “Or maybe it’ll be, ‘I’m the model of what you shouldn’t be.’”
