George W. Bush's new memoir Decision Points will debut on November 9th and from the two reports I have seen on it, the book portrays Bush largely as a sympathetic figure, seeking to build a good legacy after leaving Washington with extremely poor ratings. One excerpt, from CNN, reveals that Kanye West created the worst moment of Bush's presidency when the rapper declared that Bush was racist following Hurricane Katrina.
Another excerpt,from the New York Times' The Caucus Blog , mentions how the book reveals that Bush considered removing Dick Cheney as his Vice President on the 2004 Election Ticket...Right and I guess the book will also say that going to Iraq wasn't the best decision in the end?
The book should be somewhat interesting/revealing. Its 497 pages, according to the New York Times' Book Review , so its not light reading. With that said, I don't think I'll be buying a copy.
