<\/a><\/p>\nThis book is Decisions by George W. Bush. Yeah, I read W’s memoirs. Mock away. Figured it would be a good read and a way to get an insight into what has shaped my new home in the last decade.\u00a0 However the book was a little different than I expected. <\/p>\n
In the first introduction W. tells you that this isn’t a normal memoir but follows the decisions that lead him through his presidency. As he puts it the book is about the decisions a President has to make that affects everyone. This was an interesting way to sell me a memoir but what the hell. <\/p>\n
The book was actually very good in my opinion you got to see the way his thought process worked for the big decisions in the 8 years he was in office. Moments like the invasion of Iraq, the financial crisis, September 11 and more. <\/p>\n
Sure he wasn’t the most popular president at times, often mocked in the media, treated like a dummie at times but I still think he did his job the best he could and did it openly.\u00a0 Hell if I was in his shoes I doubt I would of done any better and plus if he was really that bad wouldn’t he of been impeached? <\/p>\n
To be honest I am sure I will cop a heap of flack for saying this but it changed the way I thought of the man and I am sure that it wouldn’t harm my opinion of someone knowing that they did what they did with best intentions. I. not saying this book has made me a Republican but if I had to vote for him I might consider it. <\/p>\n
This was a good read, something I think is good if you’re after something a bit different to the usual memoirs out there so it’s nice to have something different for once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
