Bush Decides to Write a Book on Decisions

Source: WSJ AP

NEW YORK -- Former President George W. Bush, who once called himself "The Decider," is writing a book about decisions.

"I want people to understand the environment in which I was making decisions. I want people to get a sense of how decisions were made and I want people to understand the options that were placed before me," Mr. Bush said during a brief telephone interview Wednesday with The Associated Press from his office in Dallas.

Mr. Bush's book, tentatively called "Decision Points," is scheduled for a 2010 release by Crown, an imprint of Crown Publishing Group. It is unusual in a couple of ways.

Instead of telling his life story, Bush will concentrate on about a dozen personal and presidential choices, from giving up drinking to picking Dick Cheney as his vice president to sending troops to Iraq. He will also write about his relationship with family members, including his father, the first President Bush, his religious faith and his highly criticized response to Hurricane Katrina.

cuz deciding's hard

Lots of other books will be exploring those decisions as well.

History will not be kind to you.

Unnecessary wars, torture, repression and the trashing of the constitution, and economic collapse will be the bush legacy.

STFU, you dumbass chimp! :puke:

NOW WRITING ??? Unreal

I hate that uneducated asshole!

The face of someone not looking out for his fellow Americans, who'd rather hear the reading of "The Pet Goat", which probably was really exciting for him!


"Leave me alone, we're getting to the good part!"

He should have known that there were at least at the time 2 planes were hijacked. But no he went on with the photo op. What a trooper. And then he lies and says he "saw" the first plane hit without even thinking about hijacked planes and thinking it was some "terrible pilot". Yes keeping us safe.

of the witless ... NO thanks. :puke:

Yeah I guess it's true what they say - Those who can't do, teach. Wow this is really funny XD!

make his mind up about the title.

"The Pretzel Meister"?

I tell you what!!! America, sure is some kind of special!

Otherwise, there's no way we'll see the bastard swing.

Might as well post this here

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/5013747/George-W-Bush-refuses-to-criticise-Barack-Obama-in-first-public-speech.html

As the new administration comes under increasing fire for allowing AIG to pay $165 million in bonuses despite receiving a $170 billion government bailout, Mr Bush, who was making his first public speech since leaving office in January, said Mr Obama had enough critics and "deserves my silence".

His attitude provided a sharp contrast with Dick Cheney, the former vice-president, who said that Mr Obama's ban on torture threatened America's safety, and talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, who said he hoped Mr Obama would fail.

"I love my country a lot more than I love politics," Mr Bush said in Calgary, Canada. "I think it is essential that he be helped in office."

He revealed that he will write a book that will ask people to consider what they would do if they had to protect the United States as president. "It's going to be (about) the 12 toughest decisions I had to make," he said.

an excerpt:

"So I had to make a difficult choice. But I sucked it up and chose the dark blue socks. But now, an even more important obstacle loomed in front of me: the tie! Red striped or solid "power" yellow? What if I sent the wrong message? The fate of the country hung in my closet!Laura tried to help me, but the decision, I knew, would have to be mine. I coulda used a drink.... but turned to Jesus instead.(After all, it wasn't noon yet.)"

Boxers or briefs

Rangers preseason game or "24"

Dick Cheney or Dick Cheney

Pretzels or Nachos

Swiss account or Offshore Carribean

Condi, Harriet, or Laura

Jack or Wild Turkey

I have enough surrogates out there trashing Obama, I can pretend to be above it all. The entire Bush Family is scum.

Heh.

"Should I do that line of coke before I take a shot of Vodka, or after?"

I'm OK with calling it fantasy, but bush's reign of terra involved no science whatsoever. It probably should be a pop-up book because no one has invented a "pulled-it-out-of-our-asses" book.

from the hundreds of mistakes (on decisions!) he made, he is going to cull-out the top 12 ...

must have been a lot of hard work ...

btw - i find it funny that he considers DC pick for VP as one of the 12 "tough" decisions. we know why!

Because , if I remember correctly, he asked Cheney to find a suitable candidate, and Cheney chose...himself!

So the book is gonna be about other people's decisions, and whether Bush said "yes" or "no".

kids in the future should be asked to read the book - so that THEY CAN LEARN FROM BUSH'S MISTAKES!

Been hearing and outing the lies for the last 8 years, I don't expect the truth now from them, or ever.

two 100-year-olds trying to have sex.

pop up decision tree with apples. The decision will be to eat the apple or not to eat the apple.... It incorporates his decision making skills and his religious beliefs....

"How do make n's again? Is the stick part on the left or the right? Should be on the right. That's the Republican side. Heh, heh, heh."

Seriously, how many ghost writers do you think he'll go through before they can complete this project? Suicides, nervous breakdowns, resignations due to fits of conscience could tear through a lot of sensitive writer types. Oh, I know, get Ann Coulter. She's demonstrated an incredible tolerance for bullshit.

So Bush will write a book that will have an excuse for all of his bone-headed mistakes. One wonders what he will come up with on Katrina. And how will he explain this reasoning for not allowing dissent into his formulation of policy. He should think twice about writing this book, otherwise he will look as dumb as he was when he made all of those horrible decisions, sexed up or not. And how much do you want to bet that the assessment of the UN weapons inspection teams about Iraq not having any WMD never made it to his desk or into his considerations on invading Iraq. That alone will make Bush appear as the laughing stock that he was.

Whew, deciderating is hard.

Great cartoon. Your post sounds just like the dialog from that toon. Hilarious!

I can just picture him bearing down really hard with a crayon, sticking the tip of his tongue out on the side in extreme concentration. It would be cute if it were a little kid. For a 60 year old man who was president of the US, it's frightening.

there's Lil Dems, it's really funny. My favorite is Jeb who eats plates and can barely communicate.

I hope you will elaborate on this one...

He wants his book to have an authoritarian voice...

:silly:

..all of his "decisions" were made by his boss, Vice-President Satan.

Decision Points : A Memoir by George W. Bush

It was dangerous. Dangerously dangerous . So dangerous they left it to me....George Danger Bush, the Decider Guy to make the decisions. Sure it was dangerous but that's what they pay me for...to live dangerously and to confront dangerous dangers with a smirk and wink. That's what us decider guys do....when confronted with danger.



I plagiarized this but I do think it is perfect

:rofl:

the manthing* is still a functional moron*.

looks like an old fool to me

but he managed to kill millions,

and rape the USAmerican taxpayers for trillions

I'm sure he got a "bonus" or two here and there . . .

Why does he not just shut the fuck up, run away to Paraguay or whatever, and leave the World alone? - -

Dim-son probably deserves hanging more than Saddam Hussein did

Let's have the Iraqis vote on THAT, eh??

200 Pages of FAIL

David Frum will write a book about the Cheney presidency.
Bush won't even read it, let alone write it.

I want to see a book about the people who were deciding what options would be placed before him.

I mean the facts are out there -- he was given a briefing right before the hurricane struck. And then he did not ask for any updates afterward. In fact, his staff had to make him a DVD of the "news" in order for him to come up-to-speed days later. It's a fact that he was fund-raising in CA and AZ during and after Katrina. So I am curious to know why he obviously cared NOT ONE IOTA about the effects of that hurricane.

He can't alter the facts (though he can certainly try). He can't magically put himself back into these stories. He can't suddenly say that he jumped up out of his chair when Andrew Card whispered in his ear, and he can't say he was any part of the process during/after Katrina.

The only people who will believe his book are the ones who don't remember the facts as they actually happened. And it wouldn't surprise me if Shrub was one of those people who doesn't remember.

He stayed at the Hotel del Coronado on the beach in SD - supposedly there was a GOP fundraiser there that night. Allegedly, he played golf. But could he not once have turned on the TV, while he was changing into his tux perhaps, like a normal human being? Just flip the switch, see what's going on in the world? The rest of us were glued to CNN, hoping and praying that the roof wouldn't blow off the Superdome, that the residents would be rescued, that the levees would hold. Bush? Had no clue until they showed him the DVD you described. WTF??? It's unfathomable.

Some photos of Bush that week >

president would have told his staff to keep him thoroughly updated while he fund-raised for McStain and ate birthday cake - oh wait, a real president wouldn't have ignored the tragedy by running off to a country club...

this man is the most corrupted AND ignorant fool to step foot in the Oval Office.

:rofl:

if I find a copy at one of the local used books stores, I would actually grab it.

Or how I decided to sit and do nothing while the towers fell.

Decisions are hard work.

to invade a country that was no threat to us?

Maybe it's just the decision to stop talking to darth cheney his last few years in office. I suppose he can exonerate himself by saying cheney was going to take his soul away, immediately, if he didn't obey, and then he finally quit answering his phone.

of next winters stimulus package. The home heating assistance program. Best use for all the unsold copies.

at least... :eyes:
