George W Bush was in Wichita, this last Thursday and many protesters were there to great him.
According to KSN Channel 3, the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce held the meeting at Century II. Tickets for the event and ticket prices ranged from $25 to $125. According to The Wichita Eagle, “It was the first sold-out crowd in chamber history, chamber officials said.”
Outside was a different story. More than 100 people had come to protest the ex-president. Many accused him of being a war Criminal.
“I’ve been tacking Bush quite a while,” said Patrick Miller. “He’s a war criminal and should be held at Nuremberg. He started a war.”
He added that he had worked with Cindy Sheehanin Washington DC. Sheehan has been an anti-war activist for many years.
Other protesters stood out front in the cold while the wealthy donors walked in to see one of the worst presidents this country has ever had. It may take years to analyze the damage he has done for the US in the Middle-east.
Signs at the protest also said. “A better world will come” and “We are the 99 percent.”
Obviously a lot of protesters from the Occupy Wall Street movement took part. Protesters shouted, “Shame on the chamber.”
