I heard the pop-ups were illustrated by Jan Brett!!!

I kid, I kid...

I'm eager to give it a read, because of something mentioned in the article, I would like to see how he justified many of the decisions he made, that simply boggle the mind. Besides that, having watched him perform his duties during the events of 9/11. I'd like to read his thoughts about that event and how he dealt with it personally.

Excellent post YJ. I'm sure the holier than thou's shall be along shortly to deposit their brand of trolling and insipidity.

I'm going to have to go with you on this one TP.

I think two wars, a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, and an economic meltdown, beat a smelly cigar, spooge stains, a mad wife and Kennith Star, hands down.

TenPenny, do you mean Clinton or Bush?

Even if I forgot everything about both of them, I have their books. Clinton's I finished long time ago. I am in the process of reading Bush's.

How about you? I presume you'll wait until you find them in the library.

YJ, I hope you aren't under the illusion that people are buying his book because he's popular?

No illusion, CDNBear. Right now Bush is more popular than Obama, since those who made the initial mistake are starting to realize the mess they got their country into.

You know, buyer's remorse? They made their choice quite clear on November 2nd.

One step at a time. Senate and Presidency in 2012.

How so? The US has term limits for starters. And lets be honest, not everything that the man penned, was well planned, or the correct course of action.

I honestly think, the reality of it is, people are genuinely curious to see if he explains his actions, and what methodology he uses to justify major actions taken during his time in office, that have been found to have had enormous and long lasting negative affects. He will go down in history as one of the most controversial, and contentious Presidents.

CDNBear, are you talking about Bush or Obama?

Term limits is definitely not something Obama has to worry or even think about.

I can see Bush's book being a better seller, for one reason already hit on by CDNBear: how can/does/did he justify some of the decisions that he made? He had a much rougher time in office because of external events but how he handled those events and created others is how peopleand/or history will judge him.

I can see that. Controversial figures will always sell more, and there was a lot of controversy surrounding his time in office.

Hitler sold about 10 millions copies of Mein Kampf by the end of the second world war.

Readers seem to love murderous war mongers.

Appearently, President G.W. Bush's memoir, "Decision Points" sold more copies in two months than W.J. Clinton's memoir sold in two years.

Here is an explanation for the reason. Form your own opinion and post your comments.

I'd love to see how many new words he'd invented in the book. Never misunderestimate him.

Actually, Mein Kampf was required in every home. One story I'd heard of was of some groups putting the cover of Mein Kampf onto other books that were prohibited.

Mein Kampf could be a valuable book to help us understand Hitler's mind. Just as this new book might help us start to understand the clutter of Bush's mind.

Yep. Americans like to tip their heads back and open their throats.
I'm sure my blanket statement doesn't apply to all Americans of course but it's hard to believe sometimes.
