Fondly remembered?
This is rather bizarre, but an interesting take on what the future may hold: Greil Marcus, in the City Pages of the Twin Cities, writes an Obituary of George W. Bush, dead of heart failure at 72 in 2018.
"...as a result of the passage of the 28th Amendment in 2006 and its ratification by the states the next year, in 2008 Mr. Bush announced his candidacy for a third term. He was overwhelmingly defeated that November by former President Bill Clinton.
...President Bush led the United States into four wars, oversaw the dismantling of Social Security and Medicare, and enforced a drastic shrinking of elementary, secondary, and collegiate education.
...He is survived by his parents."
