Bush's Library? What about Eisenhower?

So the fight over whether or not to have the Bush Presidential library at Southern Methodist University ranges on....NY Times article (snap shot:) "Opponents of the project, including current and retired bishops and faculty members hostile to President Bush over the Iraq war and social issues, say church rules require that an agreement be submitted to the 290 elected delegates of the church’s South Central Jurisdiction."

But what if the past proves anything about the future - it won't matter one bit where it is. I got the chance to role through the small town in Kansas where Eisenhower's library was. Total reaction = sad. Off the thruway exits, poor signage to get there - ugly abondoned parking lots. Actual library - hidden, neglected. I couldn't even tell if it was open. Should have stopped, but didn't. It may be a wonderful place, but it lacked curb appeal and cars in the visitors lot.
