George and Laura Bush Visit Billy Graham, Friend and Spiritual Mentor
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyCHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Make that four presidents who have traveled to the Billy Graham Library. On Monday, President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura Bush, met with the evangelist and his son, Franklin Graham, before signing copies of their books for a waiting crowd. Bush's father, George H.W. Bush, joined former presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton to attend the 2007 library dedication. On Saturday, hundreds stood in a wet, nasty chill to reserve copies of "Decision Points," Bush's best-seller, and "Spoken From the Heart," by the former first lady; 1,000 wristbands sold out in a few ...
Christine O'Donnell Gets a Book Deal
By Mara Gay - AOL News
(Dec. 3) -- Make room, Sarah Palin. Just a month after being roundly defeated in the Delaware Senate race, tea party icon Christine O'Donnell has signed a book deal to "set the record straight" on the 2010 elections and the current state of American politics. O'Donnell, who won the Republican primary in an upset after being endorsed by Palin, will "take the reader behind the scenes of her race for the Senate and embody O'Donnell's identification with America's frustrations and concerns with the current political climate," the publisher, St. Martin's Press, said in a statement. ...
George W. Bush to Facebook: 'I'm Trying to Sell Books!'
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News
(Nov. 30) -- The Decider has become the Promoter. Former President George W. Bush sat down with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the company's headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., on Monday for a candid discussion on technology and politics. Without a doubt, Bush did a little "shameless" self-marketing and fulfilled "an obligation to the publisher to convince people to read the book." "I've got 'Decision Points' on my iPad," the former president told the audience. The interview was lighthearted and casual from the start, as Bush opened by telling the hoodie-sporting Zuckerberg that he's "no ...
Did 'W' Dis the Palins? Bush Says He Doesn't Watch 'Dancing With the Stars'
By David Gibson - Politics DailyBarbara Bush made waves last week when she gave a soft-as-steel brush off to Sarah Palin, as the former first lady told Larry King that Palin is beautiful and seems happy in Alaska, "and I hope she'll stay there." Could Bush's son, former President George W. Bush, have taken a cue from his mom -- and a sideswipe at the Palin clan? Bush and Palin are on dueling national book tours these days -- his a recollection of what it was like in the Oval Office, called "Decision Points," and hers a recollection of why she wants to be in the Oval Office, called "America by Heart." On Monday, Bush's ...

George W. Bush's 'Decision Points' Sales Exceed 1 Million
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyGeorge W. Bush's return to the spotlight has resulted in big sales for his memoir, "Decision Points." His publisher, Crown, said Wednesday that the former president's book has sold more than 1.1 million copies since hitting shelves two weeks ago, The Associated Press reported. More than 135,000 copies were sold as e-books, according to the publisher. Bush kept a low profile after leaving office last year, declining interviews and avoiding comment on his successor and politics in general. But he emerged this month to promote the book, appearing in interviews with Oprah Winfrey, Jay Leno, ...
Watch Out, Sarah Palin: Barbara Bush Is the Original Mama Grizzly
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyBarbara Bush is the grande dame of the GOP. And she finally has said something that a lot of Republicans – not to mention Democrats and independents – have been thinking about Sarah Palin. Barbara, never one to mince words, shared her opinion about Palin on CNN's "Larry King Live" Monday night. "I sat next to her once," Barbara Bush told King. "Thought she was beautiful. And I think she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there." The former first lady's sentiment touched a nerve in tea party circles on Monday. On Glenn Beck's radio show, he hinted that her remark was ...
Good News on GM and the Auto Bailout, but Will Americans Care?
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyIf this week follows the normal pattern, the public stock offering Thursday by a resurgent General Motors will not be seen as evidence that presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama made wise decisions to help the tanking auto industry. No, it will probably just remind Americans that the federal government is really, really big these days. That is, of course, true. In part it's true because of two protracted wars and the money the government has spent to stabilize an economy that two years ago was in a stomach-lurching freefall. It seems true because of new regulations to reorganize the ...
Opinion: Decisions Decided by the Deciding Decider
By Will Durst - AOL News(Nov. 12) -- You have to marvel at George W. Bush's audacious return to the national stage, not to mention his curious timing. After all, there wasn't what you would call an overwhelming popular demand for his reappearance. Apparently even putative war criminals got to make a living. But it's going to take more than one media-blitzing book tour to scrub his image. For that he'll either need another two or three decades of restorative exile or a wire-mesh scouring pad the size of Albania. Here comes the New Bush, just like the Old Bush. The first volume of 43's memoirs (oh, there will be more) ...
Schroeder: Bush 'Not Telling Truth' in Memoir
By Lauren Frayer - AOL News
(Nov. 11) -- Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder says George W. Bush is "not telling the truth" in a passage from his newly released memoir in which he accuses Germany of breaking its promise to support the Iraq war. In his book, Bush recounts an Oval Office meeting in January 2002 where he told Schroeder he intended to invade Iraq if all diplomatic efforts failed. He quotes Schroeder as agreeing with him, saying "what is true of Afghanistan is true of Iraq." "Nations that sponsor terror must face consequences," Bush quotes Schroeder as saying. "If you make it fast and make it ...
