Bush Bus makes pit stop at City Hall
July 10, 2008
If you were on I-95 earlier today and thought you saw a 45-foot long, 28-ton bus with a picture of President Bush splashed across the side, you weren’t mistaken.
“The National Bush Legacy Tour,” sponsored by Americans United for Change, stopped outside of Baltimore’s City Hall this afternoon. It was part of the group’s coast-to-coast summer tour, aimed at bringing public attention to what they deem “two terms of failed conservative policies.”
Individuals from AUC and Progressive Maryland spoke outside the bus before a crowd of about 25 people, mostly supporters.
“It’s important that we remind the public of just how bad things have been,” said Matthew Weinstein, Baltimore’s Region Director of Progressive Maryland.
The bus (which runs on clean biodiesel) has a full exhibit inside on Hurricane Katrina, the Bush administration’s education policies and the war in Iraq. I also noticed a command center of sorts in the rear of the bus.
Take a look at the pictures. Do you think the marketing campaign is effective, or overkill?
