What is George W Bush Doing These Days?

15

When his tenure ended, it seemed that former President George Bush could not wait to leave office. A perfectly understandable sentiment seeing as his approval rating had dropped significantly during his second term in office. Receiving harsh criticism from both sides of the aisle and from the general public due to errors in judgment he made during his tenure, it should not have come as any surprise that the former Governor of Texas moved back home to Dallas and refused to grant interviews or speak to anyone during the two years since his departure.

What is George W Bush Doing These Days?

However, recently, George Bush broke the silence with the release of his memoir Decision Points. The book was acquired by The Crown Publishing Group for $7 million and was released to the public November 9, 2010. Not surprisingly, the book has received mixed reviews and brewed a bit of controversy over claims of plagiarism. However, the former president has not allowed that to slow him down and is currently embarking on a national campaign to promote the memoir. He has been interviewed, or scheduled to be interviewed, by heavy media hitters such as Oprah Winfrey, Matt, Lauer, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh.

It is actually a place where the papers, records, and other historical materials related to the each of the Presidents of the United States are stored. Several of the libraries were created by NARA. However, recent presidents have elected to build their own libraries in their home state. The George W. Bush Presidential Library is the 13th one created and currently resides in Lewisville, Texas.

George W. Bush as Governor of Texas

2

George W. Bush is most well known for leading the United States as President from 2001-2009.  Before he reached the White House, however, he was the governor of Texas.  The dates of his service in this position lasted from January 1995 to December 2000.  He resigned in the middle of his second term to take over the role of President.  Bush is a Republican and brought a challenge to the then-current Democratic governor of Texas, Ann Richards.  His campaign was run on promises to bring improvement to the public educational system in the state, reform the justice system in relation to juveniles, give needed attention to welfare programs, and adjust the tort laws of the state.  (This final point is the system that allows injured people to sue for damages.)  He won by a vote of 53% and took over as governor of Texas.

Seal of Texas

During his first year as governor, he worked with the houses of the Texas legislature, both of which were led by Democrats.  He somehow managed to have bills passed in relation to all four issues he promised to tackle in his campaign that won him the election in the first place.  Bush was logically considered a pro-business leader who could lead a consensus between all parties.

What is George W. Bush Doing Now That He is Not President?

George W. Bush followed in his father’s footsteps, George Herbert Walker Bush, and became the 43rd President of the United States in 2001. He served the maximum 2 terms and ended his administration in 2009 when he was replaced by Barack Obama. Although popular in the beginning, during the end of his second term Bush’s presidency was fraught with criticism from conservatives, liberals, and the general public due to his handling of a series of disasters, 9/11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina that displace thousands in Louisiana, that struck during his tenure. After leaving office, Bush returned to his home state of Texas and bought a house in Dallas where he refused interviews with media outlets for twenty-two months.

In the two years since he left office, George Bush wrote a book called Decision Points. The memoir was acquired by The Crown Publishing Group and released to the public on November, 2010. The book’s topic is about the 14 most defining and critical decisions he made during his career as President. The former president was paid $7 million for 1.5 million copies and he has been on a national tour promoting it. The book has only been out for a few weeks and is already sparking controversy. Specifically, Huffington Post writer Ryan Grim charges that George Bush plagiarized material from other sources and is trying to pass them off as word for word memories of events.
