Just watched George Bush's first interview since leaving office (NBC with Matt Lauer) and have noticed he's scheduled for Oprah tomorrow. He's promoting the release of his memoir "Decision Points", which hits book stores this week. Love him or hate him, I can't see how this would be anything short of an intriguing read. Arguably the most controversial US President in history, its amazing how many "incredible" historical events occurred during his tenure.

The interview with Matt Lauer started out with some promise, showing an honest side of Bush we haven't seen in years, but it quickly deteriorated and we started to hear the shallow answers and responses we have come to expect of Bush in an interview. I hope the book goes into more detail as to what exactly goes on inside Bush's head, as he Presided over the US during an incredibly tumultuous period.

I have learned over the years to be fairly stoic and neutral when it comes to the George Bush saga- certainly something most people can't do. I am certain however, that a good chunk of people are fairly uneducated in the particulars of his Presidency, and simply choose to look at him in a disparaging light because they are going with the populous. I am in no way defending Bush, but rather pointing out that after 2 years, it is probably a good time to start looking at why he was a bad, or possibly good, President.

Btw, there already is a thread for all the conspiracy stuff.
