(WICHITA, Kan.)— Former President George W. Bush will be speaking at Century II this evening. He's the featured speaker for the annual Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce meeting.

"For many of us, the opportunity to hear directly from a President in our own backyard will be the chance of a lifetime. This event is meant to take the idea of leadership in Wichita to the next level. It's a time to discuss what it takes to lead during difficult times, regardless of your political beliefs," said interim Chamber president and CEO Suzie Ahlstrand.

Not everyone agrees with the Chamber's sentiment. Occupy Wichita plans to demonstrate outside the event, to voice their opposition to the Chamber's choice to invite former President Bush to speak. Occupy Wichita says President Bush increased public debt and failed the American people. Occupy Wichita stands in opposition to unethical and illegal actions perpetrated by the public and private sectors of this nation.

Smirky is the poster boy for unethical and illegal actions.
