You've got to be kidding!!!!!!!!!
Here is a miss read big time!

I hope the ghost writer is getting a huge check!

Probably a coloring book. The crayons sold seperately.

Maybe it's scratch and sniff?

Bush is supposedly one of the worst environmental presidents of all time.....the fact that he's wasting paper (trees) like this doesn't surprise me at all. ;o)

In defense of the former president, he did say he was going to remain silent on Obama's performance because "Obama deserves my silence" and Bush hopes Obama succeeds.

That is a kick in the balls to Cheney and Rush, is it not?

We all deserve Bush's silence. He's not going to say much anyway, hard to talk with a CEO's cock in your mouth.

You know that's an interesting comment from him.

Darth Cheney is out there fear mongering, still working the party. Bush is done. Had enough. Time to move on.

Hate to say it, but I'll probably read the book. (get it used though)

Perhaps the answers to some basic questions will be in there. From all accounts, outside of politics, Bush is a nice guy. So then, did he really not care, in that he was able to compartmentalize the politics, or didn't understand completely, and acted on true belief his calls were appropriate ones?

...or something else!

Been curious about that for quite some time.

"In defense of the former president, he did say he was going to remain silent on Obama's performance because "Obama deserves my silence" and Bush hopes Obama succeeds."

I have been as critical of Bush as anyone over the last few years ... even though, yes, I voted for him in 2000.

That said, he has handled the transition, retirement, and the Obama administration VERY well, with grace, and some humility. I am glad to see that it was such a smooth, seamless transition, with both Bush and Obama seemingly very positive towards each other, realizing that the American people have spoken, and they have respected that, and each other.

Look at some of the other transitions over the years ... Truman and Eisenhower absolutely loathed each other, and the transition was painful. Johnson to Nixon wasn't the greatest either, even though LBJ wanted the hell out of Washington.

I noted that too. It was done with some class.

Good on Bush for demonstrating that the core of our politics does still hold true.

I'll bet that conversation was interesting! Bush turns to Obama, sees a bright younger man with all the dreams, hopes and drive he perhaps saw in himself. Says, "Buddy, you have no idea. Let's have a drink, I've some stories to tell!".

At least I feel better imagining it was something like that.

"From all accounts, outside of politics, Bush is a nice guy."

My cousin/business partner is good friends with a guy who was part of the inner detail in the Secret Service, responsible directly for Bush. My cousin actually met Bush a few times, and got to talk to him ... said he's the nicest guy you could ever meet. I think that was part of his allure, and it certainly helped in both 2000 and 2004, even with the question of both elections. He's an aw-shucks, down to earth man, which was the polar opposite of both Gore and Kerry ...

if Gore had any personality, at least in 2000 (he seems to display one now), he would have won in a landslide.

I felt bad for him when I read that the Canadians threw shoes at him.

I really do wish he'd been able to resist the manipulation of Rove and Cheney.

Darth Cheney or the Shrub aren't going to create new problems, at least none with the dire consequences of those they created in office.

No, the current problems are Mitch McConartist and John Bonehead. Republicans in the Congress are all sheep.
There isn't a unique thought that ever comes out. It's
party line or no party future. The Senate Republicans are barely
much better. McShame is a nitpicker that can't get over losing
the election and seems to want to play politics more than get any real work done.

GOP: All obstruction all the time ...

funny how when polled anonymously, GOP support for Obama has increased:

http://www.librarygrape.com/2009/02/obamas-republican-approval-rating-jumps.html

The GOP voting public is totally losing faith in their remaining party members, too.

There are no signs in the poll that Republican congressional leaders are benefiting from the public’s concern about major economic policies. In fact, approval of Republican congressional leaders has fallen from 34% in February to 28% currently, the lowest rating for GOP leaders in nearly 14 years of Pew Research surveys. Republicans, in particular, have become less supportive of their party’s leaders in Congress: just 43% of Republicans approve of their job performance, down from 55% just a month ago. By contrast, nearly half of Americans (47%) approve of the job Democratic congressional leaders are doing.

In addition, no single Republican figure, either in Congress or elsewhere, has emerged as the party’s leader. When asked who they think of as the leader of the Republican Party, 73% either say they do not know (58%), or volunteer that there is no leader (15%). John McCain is mentioned most frequently, but just 11% name the Arizona senator as leader of the Republican Party.

I just hope that we don't end up with a book whose gist is: Jesus made the decisions for me.

God TOLD me to invade!
