For someone who mangled words on a regular basis, it's an impressive feat. Former U.S. President George W Bush's memoir has sold an astonishing two million copies since it was released in early November - and it's not even in paperback yet.
'Decision Points', published both in hardcover and e-book form, is flying off the shelves, the Crown Publishing Group says. By contrast, former president Bill Clinton's memoir, 'My Life', has logged sales of 2.2million copies since it was first published in 2004. A spokesman for Crown called the performance remarkable. He claimed he could not think of any other hardcover nonfiction books in 2010 that had sold even one million copies, much less two. In 'Decision Points,' Mr Bush recounts the inner workings of the White House and his administration following the September 11 attacks, including decisions that led to the wars in Afghanistan in Iraq. He recounts parts of his childhood, speaks lovingly of his family and wife, and wonders about how history will judge him.
As for whether there are any of the infamous Bushisms in it - you'll have to read it to find out.

See, it’s all about relativity. Suppose right now you could all by yourself make the call to replace Obama as president but the only other choice is George W Bush.
What would you do?
Please give a simple answer. Either leave Obama as prez or choose Bush.
" I'm with you. There are to many people here now, either trolls or absolute purists. The trolls can be forgiven if not tolerated because they simply lie about who they are and what they say must be taken in the contest of what and who they are. The purists are another matter entirely. They cannot accept a Republican unless they are 100% in line with every single conservative issue and consider each one as sacred as the next. These people would put a Republicans position on global warming on a par with their position on a strong national defense. There is no shades of gray with them. Either a Rep is 1100% conservative or he is to be cast out. These people cannot differentiate between a strategic and tactical decision.
Well played! Merry Christmas to you, Justa
“Like your idol Obama?”
My Idol ?? You voted for him.
“Because he didn’t like Bush, that means he likes Obama? Give me a break. They both stink, Obama just stinks worse. The Bush dynasty did much harm to the Republican brand.”
You guys must love Obama,He is carrying on Bush’s work.
“No, Bushbot refers to the likes of you, who like him just because he was a Republican, no matter how many liberal policies he proposed. One thing I can say for Obama, unfortunately, is that he listens to his base. Bush never listened to us. We need a Republican president that will listen to his base, and not be squishy, like your boy Bush and his dad were.....now go get working on Jeb’s 2012 campaign!”
Wrong again!! But you hear that a lot, now back to your reading maybe there is a popup in there of a bunch of Mexicans coming across and George smiling and nodding.
“We need a Republican president that will listen to his base”
Now that’s a pipe dream.
“See, it’s all about relativity. Suppose right now you could all by yourself make the call to replace Obama as president but the only other choice is George W Bush.

Easy one ,that would be Sarah Palin with GW as vice President, he could not cause much damage there.
As I figured, you would not answer the question as asked. It was a REALLY simple one and yet you simply cannot bring yourself to say if one thing which would reflect favorably on a man who does not fir your purist ideals.
Must be great to be a perfect individual. And all these years I thought there was only one perfect man.

I answered in a sane manner to your Idiotic question,the problem is you got sold on this Worthless RINO and go back for more,Now that said if you are too damn blind and dense to see what this destructive guy is all about I would keep my mouth shut.
LOL, you sure a lot into what was a simple question to point out a good example of "relativity". Your anger shows you know I am correct in my answer to your response. I frankly have no idea why you came to the conclusion I was a great supporter of Bush. But in the context of comparing him with the disaster we now have the choice of who is preferable seems clear to me and I would guess any clear thinking individual.

Why in the HELL would you ask a question with NO logical answer in the first place? Then GET This, expect a reply?
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you as well, ED! (a day late and a dollar short)
You are making to much of this. The question was simple. Whether or not you think GWB was a good or awful or mediocre president, COMPARED to what we have now and given the ONE choice to re instate Bush or leave Obama, what would be your choice? One more time, what is your answer? Replace OBOZO with Bush or leave the fool in office for 2 more years?

Hey if I had that kind of power, the replacement would NOT be a Bush,now that said go back to your reading of “wrong decision” points.
LOL, another dodge, You are cemented into your mental rigidity.
“LOL, another dodge, You are cemented into your mental rigidity.”
HO you have welded your place in history as a lackey for buying the same crock of chit from the Bush’s Over and Over and Over, Be proud BOT Very Proud.
Heh, heh, whatever you say, cement brain.
BTW, I won’t again ask you to answer that simple question again. I now see it causes you to lock up and sweat as you contort intellectually, so as to make sure Bush remains firmly on the level of Obama as leaders are judged.
