Former President George W. Bush will be speaking at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on Nov. 18.
As part of the library’s “Perspective on Leadership Forum,” Bush will be discussing his memoir “Decision Points,” which brings readers inside the Texas governor’s mansion on the night of the hotly contested 2000 election, and aboard Air Force One on 9/11 in the hours after the attack on the World Trade Center Towers.
The book also goes into detail about Bush at the head of the table in the Situation Room in the moments before launching the war in Iraq, and at the Oval Office during controversial decisions on the financial crisis, Hurricane Katrina and other notable events.

Perspectives On Leadership Forum with President George W. Bush
President George W. Bush will address the Perspectives on Leadership Forum at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Thursday, November 18, 2010. Tickets for the lecture are $95 per person, which includes a served dinner. Signed copies of his book will be available in the Library’s Museum Store before and after the event.
Decision Points is the extraordinary memoir of America’s 43rd president. Shattering the conventions of the political autobiography, George W. Bush offers a strikingly candid journey through the defining decisions of his life.
In gripping, never-before-heard detail, President Bush brings readers inside the Texas Governor’s Mansion on the night of the hotly contested 2000 election; aboard Air Force One on 9/11, in the hours after America’s most devastating attack since Pearl Harbor; at the head of the table in the Situation Room in the moments before launching the war in Iraq; and behind the Oval Office desk for his historic and controversial decisions on the financial crisis, Hurricane Katrina, Afghanistan, Iran, and other issues that have shaped the first decade of the 21st century.
President Bush writes honestly and directly about his flaws and mistakes, as well as his accomplishments. He also offers intimate new details on his decision to quit drinking, discovery of faith, and relationship with his family.
Tickets for the main lecture hall are now sold-out for this event.
However, tickets are still available for the remote-viewing satellite screening of President Bush’s speech, plus the served dinner, in our Air Force One Pavilion. To purchase tickets for this area, please click here.

“Then don’t go. Won’t miss you.”
Hey thank the RINO for getting Obama elected and destroying the Party.
But, you certainly **can** thank President Bush for us not gretting hit again in this country after 9/11 -- a feat few would have thought possible on 9/12/01.
For all his faults, THIS will be his legacy, IMHO.

Some people just need to go soak their head...then possible to make a reasonable deductions....sheesh
No one is forcing you to go to the event or post in the thread.
BDS is a tragic mental state...my sympathies.
I wonder if he will say his not doing anything to secure the border and allowing the illegals into the country was and is a mistake.
You guys really need to stop throwing this little concocted, nonsensical mistruth around.
The more historical perspective we get, the more the truth is sorted out, the sillier you look. There were a host of reasons why Obama got elected. President Bush is not among them.
I'm sure Ronald Reagan would be honored to have a fellow leader, a man of courage and character, as he was, to speak at his library.
Honorable men understand each other.
BDS truly is a sickness, on the left or on the right.
Hmmm...considering that he's speaking at the library of a president who SIGNED an amnesty bill into law...
And I would have crawled over broken glass to vote for President Reagan (had I been old enough), and I did, for President Bush.
It seems like everyone is a RINO except us on Free Republic...and perhaps instead of the RINOs, it is our expectation of ideological purity that put us in our current position.
If Bush is a RINO because of amnesty, then Reagan is a RINO writ large.
BDS doesn't correspond with logic. It's an emotional thing, and rational people will never understand it.

Ole “Ill see you at the signing” Got us hit with something much worse OBAMA!!!
“BDS is a tragic mental state...my sympathies.”
NO the Guy was a Super RINO that made McCain look sane!!
LOL LOL rolling up on a ball when the Rats attacked and Get this the constant droning of the “Great Religion” then bringing them in by the 100’s of thousands..
YEAH that is a real American! HE is a NE Liberal about as far removed as you get.
Yes using our troops for IED detectors was his hallmark and Jailing Marines another master touch.
And he did a whale of a lot more than sit at home at his computer screaming on an internet forum. In fact, he's done more for freedom and liberty since he left office than you will likely do in your entire lifetime, cat.
Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush - TWO great leaders who deserve our respect. Thank God for BOTH of them.
Sir it is here and fair game,This North east Liberal who conned us and Split the party allowing the Rats to take the house in 06 has done more damage than any R in the history of the earth him and his lefty wife should just take a break for a while,at least until we sort this mess out with the voting booth.
“He stood against Islamofascism”
What????????? He brought it here and Pandered to it for Christs sakes, Remember the Great Religion sermons we used to endure??? and his Malingering this Iraq war into insanity, then another “genius” move he allowed them to have Islam in the new Constitution WTF !!!!!!
Brilliant only a liberal could screw up like that,Now His dad was not much better for he gave us Clinton and had that Idiot crybaby AA General Powell on staff, pulling the plug on the first gulf war so we would have to go back.
Good luck in becoming a normal human being at some time in the future.
Go get some fresh air. You'll feel better.
Your comments merely shame YOU and do nothing to deflect or alter the growing praise and appreciation for the leadership of Pres. Bush amongst normal Americans as time goes on, and radical policies by the current resident grow.
PS .. be sure to let us know how your bank account looks when Pres. Bush's tax cuts end.
LOL! Perfect!
No, how about YOU thanking him for that yourself, if that’s the way you feel about him! I’ll bet you can’t. hehehehh..
I’d like to be a fly on the wall to see that..
Meanwhile, those of us who really appreciate the fine and courageous things he did, will tell him all about it when we get a chance to!
You might know the very first person to hit this thread (if they weren’t original poster) is one of our resident “Bush-bashers”. They just couldn’t restrain themselves!
Amen, good post! I couldn’t agree more!
whatever....
“I’m going to stop posting truth to you and hopefully this attack of irrational anger brought on by a severe case of Bush DERANGEMENT Syndrome will subside.
Good luck in becoming a normal human being at some time in the future.
Go get some fresh air. You’ll feel better.”
Follow your own advice and look at the damage this cretin did here not mentioning opening the door for the kenyan.

The Tax cuts were the ONLY thing he did that was Conservative,Pissing lives and money away in Iraq was insanity.
“Meanwhile, those of us who really appreciate the fine and courageous things he did, will tell him all about it when we get a chance to!”
What in the hell was that! The Amnesty push with Kennedy and McQueeg???
Sure The Border Agents in Prison, his protecting a drug smuggler (Why????),the Amnesty push which inferiorities the base to no end,the American troops used for IED detectors and imprisoned for killing a animal,the split up of the party that elected him allowing the RATS to gain both sides of the house.
Continue in dreamland with the rest of the Bots remember The Smirking “Ill see you at the signing” !!!!!!!!!
Hey, STARWISE, Cheetah just revealed himself to be a liberal.
He doesn't think Constitutional originalist judges and justices are important.
He also doesn't think the lives of the unborn are important.
And he believes the defense of America from terrorism is "insanity."
We have ourselves a Bush hating FRAUD here.
No surprise to me (or you either, I'm sure). WE conservatives can always spot the fakes.

Sir you just reveled yourself as a Mexican loving Muslim.
Not ONE rebuttal to what I posted!! Not one, Most likely cheering and burning a American flag while pissing yourself when Super RINO George Said “See You at the Signing” Am I close Abu??
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
You're a funny guy, lib.
But you're NOT a conservative if you don't value a conservative judiciary, which you clearly do not.
So, I rest my case. Rant away. You shall be gleefully ignored, as I am a conservative on a conservative forum and have no more time to waste with you.

How in the hell did you extrapolate that Open Border Lefty?? Your parents did a lot of heavy drugs before you were born!!!!!!!!! Later Mr Matthews.
Sheesh! You are completely NUTS.
(But everyone reading your posts now sees clearly that BDS liberalism like yours kills brain-cells, and that's a good thing, since this IS a conservative forum).
“Oh, yeah........my Swedish Baptist tee-totalling parents did a lot of drugs.
Sheesh! You are completely NUTS.

You Bush Bots are lost here. You have not defended anything that whack job did, The open borders,The Amnesty , The ROE in Iraq ,The disbanding of the Iraqi army,The Islamic snake in their constitution.His Great Religion brought in here by the Hordes,Rebuilding Iraq on our dime.I could keep going but you waffle like that New England lefty Bush did.
God is good. God is faithful. He blessed us with an incredible country and gave us two great men of character, and strong leaders in Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, and we should be thankful.
No reason to be filled with irrational rage and hatred. It's not healthy.
No more from me (whom you have not hurt with your nasty little rants). Get some fresh air.
“You have a nice life, cheet.

Dude Get it through your thick head; “See You at the signing” Remember that?? Those Five words From Bush destroyed this country!! No rage here, That is from you confused Mexican loving Bush BOTs
Let it be known that it isn't going to be me.
“I think someone may report your repeated abusive posts to the mods.
Let it be known that it isn’t going to be me.”
The truth is abusive now?? You Bush BOTs need to defend your position without calling names?
“I think someone may report your repeated abusive posts to the mods.
Let it be known that it isn’t going to be me.”
I might add Bush is not a conservative and should go the Clinton Library for this event, since they seem to have a close friendship now.
I hate to break it to you, cheet, but saying my parents were on drugs isn't "the truth."
Your lack of ability to tell right from wrong explains your hatred of a man who possesses an understanding of moral absolutes.....my brother in Christ, George W. Bush.
Peace, leftie. And remember, originalist judges are conservative, as is the protection of the unborn.

Your Lack of perception is astounding,I voted for Bush Twice,and he crapped on us.
I gave my reasons but you chose to make it personal like every deaf,Dumb and Blind Bush BOT Good luck with that Lib!
I repeat, no wonder you hate President Bush. He's a man of character.
And men of character never, ever behave like you've behaved on this thread.
Going out of town. Have a great weekend on Huffpo, or wherever it is you usually hang out.
