I am sorry if this is going to sound kind of cynical about our last President but if there ever was a book that I never wanted to read it certainly would not want to read his memoirs or any book that First Lady Bush wrote. I'm not sure why ex-President George W. Bush would even think anyone would be interested in reading anything he had to write, much less want to understand why he made the decisions he did. No explanation he could ever make would ever justify what he did. I feel that he could make all sorts of excuses to justify his and his administrations actions and it still will not change the fact that he ran our economy and our nation into the ground. Here is a quote that was written by the Associated Press from ex-President Bush's office in Dallas-"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."
Let me say that I didn't vote for him for President and I certainly didn't vote for him when he ran for Governor of Texas and what I didn't understand and still don't understand is why the people of Texas after 8 years of having to deal with him as Governor, why they would ever resort to putting him into office not once but twice as President. What I don't get is why he thinks he needs to explain or why he believes we as a society need to understand the environment in which he made the decisions he made, as if we were asleep or not living in the good old USA.
I'm just sorely disappointed in the fact that a book publisher would pay an enormous amount of money to even consider publishing his or first lady Bush's book, based on the pretext that it will become a best seller. I only hope that I didn't offend anyone who happens to believe that ex-President Bush was a good/great leader and who just happens to be a Republican.
