Review # 1 was written on 2010-07-31 00:00:00 Nancy Keidel If ever you want to feel as like the President of the free world was dumber than you, this books for you. Bush admits to having dyslexia, as he says in an interview “That woman who knew I had dyslexia- I never interviewed her.” Book is also chalked full of Bushisms; my favorites “Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness.” “Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." “My opponent won't tell you where he stands on this issue. He is afraid to offend somebody, but that's not what a leadership is about. You got to stand strong. If you don't stand for anything, you don't stand for anything. If you don't stand for something, you don't stand for anything.” “Discussing terrorism and other foreign threats, Bush vowed to 'use our technology to enhance uncertainties abroad.”

Review # 2 was written on 2008-04-17 00:00:00 Teemu Kemppainen Mark Crispin Miller breaks a lot of the semantics and speaking patterns of George W. Bush from his initial presidential campaign and his first few months in office. Aside from the introduction and the afterwards, this book was written before September 11. Miller notes that Bush is most at ease when talking about punishment and war which further explains his enormous rise in popularity following the terrorist attacks. It's when Bush talks about anything else, such as health care, the working poor or any sort of problems that someone other the richest of the rich might suffer from does he get flustered, speak in vague terms or just generally makes an ass of himself. This book is worth perusing just to see the sort of predictions Miller makes in how Bush would handle certain situations such as war and a bad economy. (Miller's fairly dead on)
