George W. Bush Says He's Through With Politics
By not in system - AOL News(Jan. 28) -- Republican candidates hoping for some high-profile help on the campaign trail next year shouldn't look to George W. Bush. The former president told C-SPAN he's done with politics and all its trappings. ...
Wilderness Restored? Obama Plans to Overturn Bush Environmental Policy
By David Knowles - AOL NewsSome of America's most beautiful, untamed spaces are now poised to stay that way. Reversing a policy set forth when George W. Bush was president, the Obama administration says it plans to make more than 200 million of acres of land eligible for "Wild Lands" federal protection, The Associated Press reported. The vast acreage, which is overseen by the Bureau of Land Management, was made available for commercial development under Bush Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton. In a statement released today, Obama Interior Secretary Ken Salazar described his motivation for overturning the Bush-era ...
What Really Happens to Politicians Without Labels. It's Not Pretty.
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyYou may have heard there's a "No Labels" movement afoot to rouse the country's silent majority – the sane, reasonable, moderate middle that just wants civility, and solutions, and an end to the fighting in Washington. Maybe you're one of those people and you like this idea of no labels. There are lots of big names associated with this group -- senators, mayors, media celebs and more. But I'll be honest, I've been skeptical. You only have to listen to actual no-labels types to understand why. A few days after the official launch of No Labels, four of them offered eye-opening accounts of ...
Like Many Americans, George W. Bush Ignores Twitter Account
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Nov. 24) -- Perhaps he just doesn't get it. Currently out promoting his new memoir, "Decision Points," former President George W. Bush has forgone Twitter as a means of promoting his book. While Bush has sold more than 1.1 million copies of his remembrances of his time in the White House, he has done so without the advertising power of the microblogging site. In fact, since joining Twitter back on June 2, Bush has fired up only three tweets. His first message announced his arrival to social networking. .bbpBox15268757670 ...
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) ...
Bush Says He Would Have Endorsed Obama in '08 if Asked?
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 10) -- Bet you didn't see that one coming! According to a story published by the Financial Times, former President George W. Bush told a group of British White House visitors that he would have likely given his endorsement to candidate Barack Obama, if only he had been asked. Discussing fellow Republican John McCain's lackluster campaign, Bush is said to have quipped, "I probably won't even vote for the guy." Then, according to the recollection of two people in the room, Bush added, "I had to endorse him. But I'd have endorsed Obama if they'd asked me." Considering that Bush actively ...
President Bush: Mom Showed Me Miscarried Fetus in a Jar [VIDEO]
By J. Richard - AOL News(Nov. 9) -- Of all the topics President George W. Bush covered with Matt Lauer in his first post-presidential interview, which aired on NBC last night, the one that is most surprising does not involve waterboarding, Hurricane Katrina or his battle with alcohol. No, the discussion of his mother's decision to show him the fetal remains of a sibling, which she had lost in a miscarriage and preserved in a jar, takes the cake. "What I learned is [my mom] is a straightforward person," Bush told Lauer during the surprisingly revelatory interview. "She said to her teenage kid, 'Here's the ...
Kanye to Bush: I've Been Accused of Racism, Too
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 3) -- Victims of racism accusations, unite. In an interview with the "Today" show's Matt Lauer, former President George W. Bush recounted what he considered the single-worst moment of his time in office: When rapper Kanye West accused him of not caring about black people during a live telethon to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. On Wednesday, West appeared on a Houston radio station and responded to the president's remarks: "Well I definitely can understand the way he feels, to be accused of being a racist in any way," West said. He continued: Because the same thing ...
