George W. Bush is keeping his forthcoming memoir simple.
Rather than rambling on and on about his life, the former president will instead focus on 12 important decisions he made during his reign in the White House. The book, entitled Decision Points, will be published by Crown Press next fall, reports CNN, and will include passages on Bush’s decision to run for office, his response to 9/11, the days leading up to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and life with his wife, Laura.
Said Bush in the publisher’s official press release,
I am spending time on the book every day. My goal is to bring the reader inside the Oval Office for the most consequential moments of my personal and political life.
I look forward to painting a vivid picture of the information I had, the principles I followed, and the decisions I made.
Oh, Bush — the picture’s vivid enough, don’t you worry.

S. J. I’m looking forward to it!
So am I. There was a time around 2004 when I thought things couldn’t get any worse… but of course, they have. Far worse. After cursing Bush ten ways from Sunday, I’ve come to admire him. He is an endearing chap, after all. He lives his life without scandal, and he’s kept us safe for eight years.
The format of his book is going to make for an easy read, plus it won’t be filled with a lot narcissitic rambling because narcissism is just not George’s style.
Marjorie C., Hi girl!! I have been reading your comments for months and months and know where you are coming from.
Who pays you to comment on WoW? I would like to get a job and make money doing what you do…it seems like a lot of fun.
He wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face.
Just Remember Iraq and you have your answer about the truth.
