Bush will save us all.

This book rocks. I was kicking back at a metallica show when a bunch of people started raving about how terrific this book is. Fortunatly with the low price (once again thinking about the people), I bought a copy and read it in one week. I coudn't put it down. What people don't realize is that the t.v media is a joke and what is said on t.v is 90 % false. Bush will always be the people's president.

Words of Strength From a Great President

This collection of inspiring speeches from President George W. Bush clearly demonstrates the understanding that he has for our history and the challenges posed by September 11, 2001. This country faces an enemy that President Bush descibed, like Churchill described the Nazis, as one that seeks to throw the world "into the abyss of a new Dark Age." These speeches are an expression of the country's determination and resolve to prevail over the forces of unspeakable horror and evil. It is a fight that we will win with President Bush's leadership. The speeches are classics of American thought that will be read by generations to come.The editors of National Review have done a service to the public with this compilation. Every family should own a copy.

How Did He Have Time to Write, You Ask?

President Bush's book is a compilation of his speeches, not a sit-down tell-all. These are his great speeches to this nation, ones that have shown just how articulate and honorable this man is.

Words from a Great President and a Great Man

There are (generally) two ways of viewing the problems raised by 9-11. One is to maintain that it was an isolated atrocity committed by a renegade, and bury one's head in the sand to the broader issues. The other is to view it in a global perspective and take it as one strike in a long-term battle against global terror that has been raging for decades.With an inauspicious beginning as president -- in a country divided by his predecessors, who pitted one people against the other and who also handed off a failing economy and miserable failures and displays of U.S. weakness abroad, as well as being hamstrung by his court-challenged election -- George W. Bush, who came to office to unite Americans after one of the most divisive administrations in history, made some progress (passing necessary tax relief, for instance, to help grow the economy) but with the progressive agenda of reform thwarted by a closely elected congress.September 11 helped galvanize the Bush presidency, not only giving him a way to unite Americans but also showing his own honesty and compassion, and a strength and resolve that amazed even those who voted for him.Though George W. Bush doesn't write all his own speeches alone, he is an integral part of the process. Not everyone is gifted with a gift of the blarney like his predecessor, who had the ability to adjust his statements (and views) to whatever audience he was addressing, and to say the most blatantly contradictory things without raising eyebrows. George W. Bush is not a skilled orator, but he is a man of conviction, and his views are distilled through the pens of others who work closely with him.Plainly, through his speeches, George W. Bush emerges as a man of quiet conviction, not easily roused, but determined to defend the people and Constitution of the country that elected him. Just as plainly, he emerges as a man of enormous vision, able to see the War on Terror plainly as a global phenomenon of which 9-11 was an example, and he is a man who does not want to see people live in fear and intimidation.His words memorialize the dead. They bring inspiration to a shattered nation. He identifies the problem and clearly and logically defines the steps that must be taken, of eradicating not only the terrorists, but the totalitarian oppressors, owning their governments by gunpoint, who give them havens.In some cases, such as the U.N. speech, President Bush comes across like Churchill; in other cases he's as "bully", or as compassionate, as his great Republican predecessors Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The book will be important primary source material in years to come so that, for instance, when he lays out his five-point case against Iraq and goes into the Iraqi leg of the war against the terror masters marching on the bedrock of a dozen years of U.N. resolutions, his own words will prove how vapid the Bush-haters are as they carp on one point and then another, trying to find an argument that will stick, even

Words of Our President

Sorry you had to read the liberal review written before this one. This book has been recommended on talk radio stations, and by other conservatives who truly love this country and support our president. We had years of trash and self-adulation from Clinton. All arrows pointed to him. Maybe the previous reviewer forgot what a truly moral and courageous man is like. President Bush cares what happens to this country and wants to stop terrorism before it creeps to our shores again. Highly recommended. Great reading.
