I doubt it’ll be on Oprah’s pick for book of the month club.. or he’ll go on Larry King (too late) anytime too soon ,, ain’t no way Piers Morgan is gonna get a interview... but I’d love to see it.

I just love it.....don’t you know this po’s the MSM to have to report this.....they so hoped it would flop!

2 million is not surprising when you take into account that some 50 million voted for him twice. It should be more really.

I got it when it first came out and it was worth the read.

GWB is an honorable patriot, that protected the USA.

I felt he was too easy on his critics and while that is because of his honor for the Office of the President, he never really defended himself from the blatant lies.

He was too weak on illegal immigration issues, probably because of his Texas background.

Maybe history will treat him well, I certainly hope it does.

I’m reading it now. He recounts the 2000 phone call that prompted Gore to call Bush “snippy” after Al had recanted his concession . Bush had told him that in Texas a man’s word means something. Love it!

Always somebody here who has to chip in with a negative comment where President Bush is concerned. It might interest you to know that 2 million is an extraordinary sales figure for any book. To do it in less than two months is amazing. For contrast, Bill Clinton’s memoir sold 2.2 million in six years.

I’m reasonably sure that I’ll find it under the tree on Christmas. To put the number of sales in perspective, Bush sold just over two million more copies of his book than Meghan McCain sold of her book...

I've been wondering about that number. A comparison between the number of people who have actually read each book would be interesting.

I’m wondering how many copies the current toad-in-chief sold of his “Dreams” and “Audacity”. When you type in “Total copies of Dreams of My Father sold” into Google, they won’t give you an actual number. Hmmmm, could they be protecting Zero from embarassment. I don’t believe he has even hit a million copies yet.

I bought two copies. One for my dad, one for me. Did not get the opportunity to have them signed (DARN IT).
