NEW JOB For George W. Bush : STORE GREETER ! | "Hello Y'All ?"

What recession? Ex-prez George W. Bush already has been offered another job ! ------- [FEB 21 2009]

In one of his first outings in Dallas since leaving the White House, former President Bush made a surprise appearance at a hardware store Saturday and joked, "I'm looking for a job."

Bush was responding to an open letter to him from the store's manager inviting him to consider a position as a part-time greeter.

Kyle Walters, president and CEO of Elliot's Hardware, wrote in a letter published in The Dallas Morning News on Feb. 5 that the position of greeter would offer Bush several perks, including a flexible schedule to allow him to travel to Crawford, an opportunity for him to maintain his people skills, ample parking -- including space for his security detail -- and an employee discount for any projects Bush many have on the "Honey-Do" list.

Bush has not accepted the position, but he spent about an hour browsing the aisles and purchased batteries, flashlights and WD-40, the store said in a news release.

"We are thrilled Mr. Bush was able to stop and get a few items for his new home," Andrea Bond, a spokeswoman for Elliot's Hardware, said.

The Bushes' moved into their new home Friday in a wealthy north Dallas neighborhood, one month after leaving the White House.

Rob Saliterman, a spokesman for Bush, said the former president and his wife "are glad to be back in Dallas, appreciate the warm welcome by their neighbors and look forward to once again being part of the Dallas community."

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

CNN: mediocre reporting.

[rjholling]

A greeter would have been a much better career choice for W than POTUS

@mikeandlaurie1979 Delta is ready when he is. Take his ass to Spain. I did not know until reading your post, did Jena really say that? She has to go to iraq for that one

@Idude893 Your True. But we have worst to come.

It's unfortunate that George showed up to steal the job at the whitehouse. and, the idiot jena daughter thinks daddy george is "overqualified for the job". Let's hope george is found by those looking for him.

I doubt he was mentally capable of filling out the application.That's probably the sole reason he denied the offer.
