His paintings made news worldwide, but it turns out that former President George W. Bush has been working on another, highly personal project since leaving the White House: He has quietly completed a biography of his father, former President George H.W. Bush.

Crown Publishers told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the book, currently untitled, will be released November 11. In 2010, Crown published the younger Bush’s million-selling memoir, “Decision Points.” […]

According to Crown, the book will cover the elder Bush’s whole life and his influence on his son, from George W.’s “childhood in West Texas to his early campaign trips with his father, and from his decision to go into politics to his own two-term presidency.” …

Would be nice to hear no jealousy from the Hillary-bots if this one does well.

Does he explain why GHWB was in Dallas on November 22, 1963, and said repeatedly over the years that he didn’t remember where he was that day?

I was ten years old, and I remember everything about that day.

BFD! The overwhelming majority of people in this country could care less about his book! He’s made a deal with those who want to reward him for his service to those who don’t answer to the public.

Screw him.

There’s only one book Bush II should write: “Why I should have paid more attention to the lessons of Vietnam”.

I say that because Bush repeated almost every mistake LBJ made. At this point, I really don’t care what pictures Bush is painting, or what books he writes.

I hope he include a speech or two from his Presidency. They were outstanding.

Anyone who doesn’t reverence George Bush and George Bush is a Hillary-bot”?
That’s really funny, Olog, from a guy who in a thread above compares SEAL Chris Kyle to OJ Simpson.

“currently untitled”

Maybe “George HW Bush” “Life and Times of George HW Bush” maybe just “Bush” or “41” or “Life of Moderation: How George HW Bush ushered in the New World Order”

or...
