Book Review - Decision Points, By George W Bush

IP is over the quota

I have been very much looking forward to writing this review. To be honest, I did not vote for President Bush in either election (I am neither democrat nor republican). During his presidency, I fell victim to what many Americans fall victim to: believing the media. I have since learned my lesson and no longer pay any attention to it as they have a terrible habit of omission.

This book contains the presidential memoirs of George W. Bush. It is different than normal memoirs as he breaks it down into major events and situations in his presidency and how he arrived at the decisions that he did. It begins with a bit of history about himself, his time growing up, etc. He reveals some very personal things that I had no idea about, like his little sister dying of cancer when she was young and a DUI that he got when he lived in Texas. He describes his call to faith and the process that it took, which eventually led him to quit drinking altogether.

The majority of the book is in regards to his actual presidency. He covers the decisions that he made in regards to both elections, and the difficulties and challenges. He gets into major events such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the financial meltdown. It was great to read his point of view on what happened. Despite what people have said about him, he is an educated and intelligent person, who studied a substantial amount of history so that he would have the necessary means to at least try to avoid past mistakes.

Admittedly, I am embarrassed about some of the things I used to say about President Bush. Reading his own experiences, and how various government officials (especially congress) got in the way of him making the decisions that he wanted to when he wanted to (and then everyone subsequently blamed him) was very eye opening. There were many aspects of his presidency on which my opinion shifted, especially after I checked some things out. There were others that, though I appreciate his view, I still did not agree with but no one is going to agree with everyone 100%. President Bush even admits to mistakes and failures that he blames himself for (some of them were not really his fault, but he beats himself up over them anyway as many of us would probably do).

The book is well written, almost as though you are sitting across from the president and having a chat at a diner. Included are some full color pictures with descriptions in his words. It is actually a good read and is the first presidential memoir I've read. I'll be sure to read more of them. The lesson that I take from this, and everyone should, is to understand that the president is not responsible for all of the country's woes. President Bush wasn't, and nor is President Obama. There are a lot of powerful people and a lot of bureaucrats that have far more influence. As I have indicated, if you are not a Bush fan, not everything in here will convince you but in the interest of viewing both sides for an actual educated opinion, definitely check this out and be open minded.
