The AP points out that with the sales milestone, Bush joins Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, other presidential authors who were also million sellers. Clinton's "My Life" and two Obama books, "The Audacity of Hope" and "Dreams from My Father," sold at least 1 million copies.
Let me be the first to forfeit my copy of George W. Bush's book to whomever wants to buy it. I was alive during the Iraq and Mission Accomplished fiascos, which cost 4400+ American lives. I don't need to hear his slant on the 8 years he was in the Oval Office.

November 25 2010 at 2:39 PM Report abuse Permalink +7 rate up rate down ReplyAfter numerous warnings about the potential for a 9/11-type attack,George W. Bush was far more fixated on how and when to attack Iraq, although Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden had been longtime enemies (Saddam running a secular Sunni state). Further, 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi in origin; none was Iraqi. So why not go after autgocratic, (ally)feudal Saudi Arabia in the purported "freedom-spreading" crusade, or (ally)autocratic Egypt, instead of Iraq. A few of the attackers were Egyptian.) Also, why did GWB in '07 declare "The fundamentals of the economy are sound"? Say what?! As a 9/11 victim myself, who could well have died that day at the WTC, I'll leave "the Decider" with those queries for beginners. What a genius he was, and is! NOT!!

They squashed the hearings on problems with FannieMae and FreddyMac that the Republicans said were going to ruin the Real Estate market and bring down the economy. Specifically Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Maxine Waters said that they were solvent and "Don't fix something that isn't broke". Meanwhile, one of Obamas advisors, Franklin Raines, made 90 million dollars as their head while they were falling apart! I guess we know now who dropped the ball, don't we!!!

Amazing how people rewrite history and talk about a disastrous 8 years under Bush. Not to mention that he approached Barney Franks committee 18 times to rein in Freddie and Fannie and was sent away every time.

November 25 2010 at 1:05 PM Report abuse Permalink +4 rate up rate down ReplyBush's legacy: 9-11, 4300 dead US soldiers (for nothing), hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians dead, a financial meltdown, torture. He should have spent his time writing an apology instead of this work of fiction. May God forgive him.
