Flood of Bush Memoirs May Trip Up GOP

Six administration figures to release books before midterm elections

By Nick McMaster| Posted Oct 14, 09 5:23 PM CDT|

(Newser) – The 2010 elections offer Republicans the first chance in a long time to run without the handicap of the unpopular Bush administration. Or not. Bush may be out of office, but the period between now and next November could see the release of five Bush-era memoirs—from Hank Paulson, Laura Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, and Dubya himself. Dick Cheney follows in 2011. At least a few are likely to be highly controversial, and could bring memories of the Bush administration back to the political center stage.

Democratic strategists are pleased by the deluge of memoirs, as it will complement efforts to make 2010 a further referendum on Bush and remind voters of why they voted for change. “I think Obama is going to run against George Bush, as a means of deflecting attention from an incomplete agenda,” one strategist tells Politico.

Hey Godawg, is it racist to despise redneck Texas idiots no matter what they once did, you know such as destroying the American economy, killing over 3,000 US Military personnel in a little war for profit? Ripping apart the Bill of Rights? Go lick his toe jam if your that much in love with the garbage scow.

@urundertaker wow struck a nerve did I? it's okay take a deep breath and get your blood pressure back down. I mean all i was doing was warning reader that they might be considered a racist if they compare the President, I guess in this case the exPresident, to Hitler. I know that everytime a righty does it they get called racist, so seems to me that is hypocritical. Is that wrong?

I didnt vote for Bush nor the gop in general but Bush was no closer to Hitler than Obama is to say....Pol Pot. Granted he lied us into a war but spineless democrats of the house and senate who were in the minority at the time could have stopped him cold if they had any spine. But like true gutless politicans, they wavered when some dorks on the other side starting screaming " you're un-american if you dont back the war, you're unamercian if you dont back the war" and cowered the democrats into submission. Bush got plenty of help marchin us off into Iraq. Bush never had death camps or pogroms against any single group. What went on in Gitmo again is just as much fault of spinless democrats as any war mongering republican. Neither Bush or Obama...or for that matter any American President I can think of even comes close to be called a dictator or Hitler or Stalin or whatever. That nonsense needs to stop.

Now how am I gonna do all this...oh yeah, I'll use the fear of god. Scared folks will do anything I say...heh heh heh. What else can I do...oh yeah, don't forget to take Cheney up on that bet that he thinks he can shoot somebody in plain day light and not get prosecuted for it.

Dear Liberal Jesus: "Bush never had death camps or pogroms against any single group" is not a correct statement. Even if the Dems were complicit, Bush devised and implemented secret detainee camps without Congress' knowledge, and he suspended Habeas corpus, and he condoned extraordinary rendition and he ignored the power of Congress and the people by issuing over 1200 signing statements. THAT sounds like a dictator to me.

@silverbow well the underlying reason was to get oil at a cheaper price, if you want the truth. I would also like to think that there is some humanitarian effort going on in there as well. I posted a link to all of the people that Saddam killed before the Gulf war in the newser article if you care to read it.

IN RESPONSE:

Oct 15, 09 6:56 AM CDT

Actually, Silverbow7, the correct number is probably over 1 million Iraqis dead, according to a study conducted by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health published in 2006 (and ignored by the U.S. Media). The "official" count doesn't take into account everyone, especially since U.S. government officials and military personnel don't want to look bad.

IN RESPONSE:

Oct 15, 09 7:25 AM CDT

@thinker actually the official count did take everyone into account. the john hopkins study has been disproved as inaccurate based off of the methods they used to count the missing.

yall come on, i hated the guy and thought he was a crap president and he said some pretty dumb things, but come on, hitler references, jokes about how dumb he is, let it go. he's out of office now and he's actually been very well behaved, this is practically the first peep out of him since january. he was very gracious to obama during the whole transition and showed quite a bit of class i thought. i'm actually interested in reading his memoir, i think it would be a fascinating glimpse into his mind, and i never read anyone's memoirs. i didnt agree with a single thing he did as president, but i do believe that he sincerely thought he was making the right choices and that he was doing the best that he could. i dont need to hate him anymore, and my husband and i lost friends in iraq. i just want to focus now on fixing things.

the thing is that Bush isn't even releasing his memoir it is going to be five books by his staffers. Bush has done exactly what the left wanted him to do and that is get the hell out of Washington DC, pretty much kept his mouth shut and faded into retirement or whatever it is he does everyday, but the left can't let him go and I see their reasoning: 1 it makes President Obama look better, and 2. by keeping the memory of Bush around it will guarantee a second term. Just as the right has their Obama=socialism/facism/comunism meme, the left can say hey at least we aren't Bush.

godawg, i disagree, i think the left cant let go because they/we are so upset over how bush ran the country. just as, i imagine, it will be equally hard for the obama haters to "let go" when obama leaves office. yall will be bitching about him for at least as long as we'll be bitching about bush. but i do respect how Bush himself has handled the transition out of power, i have nothing but respect for him in that area. and SPH, i believe that bush also had some legitimate reasons to wage the war, they may not be legit to you, but i believe they were to him. i'm sure some of it was war profiteering, but i dont think that was his sole motivation, just the icing on the cake. i think he genuinely wanted to make a difference. you can call me naive, and thats fine. i'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt. i think he was misguided, not evil. i'd like for the right-wingers to give obama the same benefit of the doubt, incidentally. just because you disagree with someone's choices and priorities and politics does not, by default, make them evil.

@army well I know that the left is upset with the way Bush ran the country and you make a valid point, the right will be harping over the same thing when Obama is out of office. While I agree with your last statement as well, if you look you can find right wingers who want to give the President the benefit of doubt, but you are one of the very few left wing people who are willing to give Bush the benefit. That type of give and take does go both ways.

President Bush is a great American who history will be kind to. This bullshit about jail and other such liberal trash nonsense has zero traction with the American people and will bring down any administration disposed to go after this great Bush administration of patriots and heroes. The only criminals we see are the political appointees in the BO Justice Department launching a witch hunt against the fine upstanding patriots in the C.I.A. who followed legal orders and were investigated already and CLEARED by CAREER DEMOCRAT Prosecutors. The real criminal here is Eric Holder. Liberal socialists should remember that what goes around comes around and that come 2013, our side can easily have them indicted for War Crimes and corruption on a massive scale or any other political crimes we deem worthy of reviving.
