axlrose Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I've been meaning to read through his book. I lived through it. And apparently already read some of it. http://www.nationaljournal.com/dailyfray/spatwatch-pakistani-journalist-bush-plagiarized-me-20101117 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnywreck Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 haha...nice picture. all in all, it was more entertaining than anything. he said a few funny anecdotes, told everyone to keep the faith, and a few people yelled "fuck you" at him and were promptly escorted out. nothing he said was very informative, except for admitting that the katrina and the search for WMDs were failures. still kind of crazy seeing an ex president speak.

gmoney Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 a few people yelled "fuck you" at him and were promptly escorted out. I have such mixed feelings about this. I mean, he was a pretty lousy president and made a lot of poor choices, but yelling stuff at him isn't going to change anything. I'm sure he realizes how bad he messed up at this point. I guess I just choose to respect someone, and allow them to be forgiven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruins4ever Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Kinda more or less what I was expecting. I'm Canadian, so I guess I have a biased opinion, but I still find him to be pretty fascinating. Not really sure why... probably because he was such a polarizing person.

travis Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 a few people yelled "fuck you" at him and were promptly escorted out. I'm sure he realizes how bad he messed up at this point. I really dont think he does. Also, he apparently said the low point of his Presidency was when Kanye West called him out saying Bush didnt care about black people. I havent read his book, just heard this from multiple places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said was, "I resent it. It's not true and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my presidency." Quit spreading misinformation, it's not hard to find quotes on Google.

podface Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I really dont think he does. Also, he apparently said the low point of his Presidency was when Kanye West called him out saying Bush didnt care about black people. I havent read his book, just heard this from multiple places. What he said was, "I resent it. It's not true and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my presidency." Quit spreading misinformation, it's not hard to find quotes on Google. from npr.. Lauer quotes from Bush’s new book: “Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust.” Lauer adds, “You go on: ‘I faced a lot of criticism as president. I didn’t like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all-time low.’President Bush responds: “Yeah. I still feel that way as you read those words. I felt ‘em when I heard ‘em, felt ‘em when I wrote ‘em, and I felt ‘em when I’m listening to ‘em. Lauer: “You say you told Laura at the time it was the worst moment of your presidency?” Bush: “Yes. My record was strong, I felt, when it came to race relations and giving people a chance. And it was a disgusting moment.” Lauer: “I wonder if some people are going to read that, now that you’ve written it, and they might give you some heat for that. And the reason is this — “ Bush [interrupting]: “Don’t care.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentoage Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 nothing he said was very informative, except for admitting that the katrina and the search for WMDs were failures. actually, as far as natural disasters go, katrina was a huge success.
