Bush Memoir Sells 2 Million Copies in 2 Months — Nearly as Many as Bill Clinton Sold in Six Years

The world may have underestimated the publishing power of George W. Bush, the UK’s Daily Mail suggested Thursday. “For someone who mangled words on a regular basis, it’s an impressive feat,” the Mail noted after the former president’s publisher announced his memoir “Decision Points” has sold an astonishing two million copies since it was released in early November.

Bush’s “Decision Points” hasn‘t even been released in a paperback edition yet and already it’s approaching 2.2 million copies — the number of copies President Bill Clinton’s “My Life” has sold since its release in 2004.

Bush Memoir Sells 2 Million Copies in 2 Months Nearly as Many as Bill Clinton Sold in Six Years

“Decision Points” offers readers a look inside President Bush’s time in office, as well personal memories from his childhood, family life and predictions on hos history will judge him.

    @Silverracer
    Do you think Bush WANTED Gitmo. It was and still is a necessary evil, that‘s why it’s still open although the Liar closed officially closed it. TARP was Paulson’s baby. He played Bush big time. I don’t think Bush was perfect, but he wasn’t out to transform America into a commie utopia. We’re headed to loss of our freedoms. Did you feel as a law-abiding citizen feel that type of threat under Bush?

    How can a country declare war on a tyrant they intend to take out? Saddam was forewarned, which I think was a huge mistake, but the “war” was supposed to be a series of quick, devastating air strikes, “shock and awe,” remember?

      Yeah, I think he did want GITMO because he thought he could escape the attention of the American public there. The constitution says anyone in our jurisdiction has the right to due process, not just citizens. And no I didn’t feel threatened like I do now when Bush was President. That was also before I woke up.

      “How can a country declare war on a tyrant they intend to take out?” Jeez, I guess there was no need to declare war on Germany then. And that’s what the war was supposed to be, but look what it turned into.

      This country has abandoned the Just War Theory of Christianity.

    If President Bush wanted to explain himself he should have made the effort while he was President. Writing a book now only helps him. If he had tried to explain himself while President, we would have avoided the Democrat majorities that forced the nightmares of the last two years down our throats.

      You know Joe, I thought the same thing dozens of times during his administration. Why doesn’t he just give a speech with a simple PowerPoint presentation and explain X,Y and Z to the American public? I always thought it was because of national security, but if I’m not mistaken I remember someone (maybe Hannity?) asking him a similar question and his answer was words to the effect that he knew the press was against him, his message would be misconstrued so what was the point?
      Sad, because I agree–with a better explanation I think some of the Congressional damage from 2006 could have been avoided.

      Dawgpound, agreed. I used to support the wars but not anymore. They’re unconstitutional. Neither follow all the qualifications of Just War Theory. We’re no safer. Thousands of Americans have been killed and tens of thousands maimed. And now we‘re just straight up occupying two countries which isn’t helping our safety here at all, while increasing international hatred toward us and making us more susceptile to hostile actions. War is profitable folks – that‘s why we’re there. Our occupations fuel the insurgency. Think about another country’s military (China for example) occupying this country. There would definitely be an “insurgency” here. 15 of the 19 alleged 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. I wonder the Saudi citizens would hate us so much? Hmm…

      Bush lied…bull. Every single intelligence agency in the world believed Sadam had WMD. He used them against Iran and he used them on his own people. During the months of waiting for the U.N. Iraq sent a convoy of military trucks 21 miles long into Syria. What could have been on it? In addition and most importantly, the reason for the war given to the U.N. for resuming hostilities against Iraq was that Iraq started refusing to allow U.N. inspectors into their country as was agreed to during the cease fire for the Persian Gold war. Also they were firing at U.S./British jets flying over certain parts of Iraq, once again as agreed to under the cease fire of the Persian Golf war. The whole WMD was NEVER the main reason given for resumption of hostilities against Iraq. That was something the Democrats and their will supporters in the media.
      As for whether or not we are safer, how many attacks did we have after 9-11 during President Bush’s administration? I don’t remember any, please enlighten me.
      If you want to attack President Bush for his real mistakes or for things you disagree with fine. Stop regurgitating left wing whacko propaganda. Bush went into Afghanistan and Irag with the permission of Congress. Since they came to the same conclusion he did then all of them who voted for it lied too using your distorted definition of what a lie is.
      President Bush was a decent man doing a difficult job during a extremely difficult time. He is also a patriot. Whine all you want about him but the sales figures of his book would seem to indicate that even with all of the accusations thrown at him by the present administration and the Democrats he is still very popular and respected by the American public.

I don’t remember seeing anyone complaining about Obama supported an unconstitutional war when the article was about him. It seems that this is a very selective problem depending on who is in office. As for no one contesting the wars to the supreme court for the past nearly sixty years, perhaps there is a reason for that, like, I don’t know, they knew they would lose? It seems that these posts are meant to be more of a distraction from the subject then anything else. As for your friends in Afghanistan, are they complaining about fighting in an unlawful war? If so, did they enlist after Afghanistan was invaded? One of the problems of having an all volunteer force for some people is that it is difficult to whine about it when you are sent into combat zone. I remember some “heroes” who tried to get out of the Persian Gulf war because no one ever told them that they might have to fight when they joined the Army. I guess they thought that the M-16 they gave them was in case they were attacked by some vicious rabbits.

      Silveracer,
      I AM offended that a conservative should consider Bush a war criminal. Why are you spewing left-wing hatred against a man who acted in good faith? Himmler was a war criminal, dude. You keep saying that the Iraq/Afghanistan wars have increased international hatred against us. That is a liberal mantra as well. Those who hate us do so because we are (or were) the most awesome and blessed world power ever. It is the nature of man to hate or envy those who do well in life. Also, are you forgetting that it was the jihadists who drew first blood? That Saddam kept trying to invade Kuwait, had burned its oil fields and was not intent on taking over Saudi Arabia and the whole ME? Our self-proclaimed enemies hate us because we are infidels and we support the Israeli pigs. I’ll tell you when the world will start loving us: never. They will dance in the streets the day they see our wonderful country collapse.

      As to the constitutionality of the war, If you want to adhere to the letter of the law, then let me put it this way: TECHNICALLY we never went to war with Iraq. It was considered a military campaign/intervention under the War Powers Resolution. So laws were followed and the Constitution was not violated

      The War Powers Resolution is unconstitutional. You honestly think people around the world hate us because we’re free and rich? The CIA teaches something called ‘blowback.’ Our interventionism throughout the world has unforseen consequences that play out later on.

      Ex: We funded Osama during the U.S.S.R. occupation of Afghanistan.
      We set up the Shah in Iran in the 50′s.
      15 of 19 alleged 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Most likely due to our prolonged presence there.
      Etc., etc.

      You know what, Silveracer, your speech places you closer to a liberal than a conservative. I am not trying to bash you. It’s the way you come across. Maybe you are fooling yourself.

      Yes, I think the world hates us because we are blessed. I’ve seen it time and again. No matter what we do. You name the bad things — like liberals do — but you forget that never in the history of mankind has the most powerful nation du jour been so freely charitable towards the nations it domintes. Never. We make mistakes, mainly because we are gullible, and also because world power is a shifting phenomenon, and we have to constantly strike a balance to maintain stability in the different regions. I don’t effing know of any other world power who rebuilds the nations it defeats like we did our enemies after WWII. Compare our actions with those of the commies in the countries that fell under their control. No that’s not conservative thinking. Sorry. Merry Christmas, anyway.

I wasn’t comparing our actions to those of communist nations. America is the most generous country in history, both the government and the citizenry. I fully recognize that. My simple point is the War Powers Resolution was unconstitutional because if this country is to go to war, we must declare it. As defined by the supreme law of the land.

      You know over the years I have had many people, friends and family as well, that have asked me why I liked George W Bush. Now I have not always agreed with some of his decisions and I have not always liked how things were done at times, but when it comes down to it he was and is a wonderful human being. Anytime anyone has argued with me I have always had one reply that they cannot refute….no matter how much they despise him they can never take away from the effort he put forward to help those in Africa with Aids/HIV. It bugs the heck outta libs that I talk to, but there is no way around that one. As for me personally. I believe he is a caring and generous man. I believe he has a real love for our country and for our troops especially. I also admired his unflinching faith and his willingness not to water it down for the PC crowd. Most of all I believe that everything he did, he did it out of a want to serve us and nothing is more precious then a servant’s heart. Thank you Mr. President

      As I recall it, Bush’s war interventions were approved by Congress, so I don’t see how they can be considered unconstitutional. On the other hand, a federal appeals court ruled that the FCC could not enforce Net Neutrality, yet they went ahead and did it anyway. Only tyrants bypass the rule of law.

      I guess I’m just a constitutional conservative and as I recall it, war was never declared, as is supposed to happen under the Constitution. I used to believe it was legal because “congress authorized it” too, but think about it. We’re going to go occupy two countries for years on end, topple their government, fight their government’s military (at least in the case of Iraq) and not declare war?? And the point is – these wars have not made us safer and harmed our image in the world which has the effect of making us less safe.

      Yeah, I think he did want GITMO because he thought he could escape the attention of the American public there. The constitution says anyone in our jurisdiction has the right to due process, not just citizens. And no I didn’t feel threatened like I do now when Bush was President. That was also before I woke up.

      “How can a country declare war on a tyrant they intend to take out?” Jeez, I guess there was no need to declare war on Germany then. And that’s what the war was supposed to be, but look what it turned into.

C’mon, you can’t get rid of a tyrant who allegedly has WMD if you declare war! Let me give you another example. Israel would not have destroyed Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor back in 1981 without a stealth operation. Imagine what the world would be like if Saddam had been able to develop nuclear weapons.

      You want jihadists caught abroad to be able to lawyer up before they are interrogated? And their lawyers to have access to sensitive intel, if they are tried in civilian courts on American soil? You sure you’re conservative??

Sure a democrat can force unwanted Bills down our throat, ram Net Neutrality through when the courts and congress already came out and said it is unconstitutional, and guess, what, Obama is still doing what Bush did in illegal wiretaps. Nobody is really saying a word of this on the left. If the right did this, the left would be going nuts.

      Silveracer,
      See my response about declaring war @ChiefGeorge. I am nonplussed, though. If we can attack before we OFFICIALLY declare war, it becomes a de facto declaration of war, so you’re right, I don’t get it. You remind me of Holder interrogating the TS bomber for hours, BEFORE reading him his Miranda Rights. “Declaring war” implies notifying the enemy:

      “Thus, a declaration of war served the purpose of notifying the enemy, allies, neutrals, and one’s own citizens of a change in the state of relations between one nation and another. In none of these situations did the declaration of war serve as a vehicle for domestically authorizing war.”
      (Yoo, The Powers of War and Peace).
