The second in the ‘President’ series. This time the current President Bush has a strange dream on the night of his last day in office. The dialogue is a slightly altered version of the lyrics from the Eagles great song, ‘Hotel California.’ If you know it hum the tune while watching the cartoon, or better still buy the CD.
