To answer CH's questions first. Yes there are pictures in the book, but they are photographs, not drawings, and I don't think George took them, as he is in most of them. The second point about the childrens book reading, must be another of those things promoted by the left such as Sarah Palin saying she could see Russia from her house, which she never said. As for this book, pretty good reading. At first I didn't like the way it was laid out. Most books of this nature are in some sort of chronological sequence. In this book, appropriately titled, George focuses on key issues that arose during his presidency, and why he made the decisions that he made. Major topics are, his early life, his deciding to run for both governer and president, personnel choices, stem cell research, 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, hurricane Katrina, then just the promoting of democracy in general. Nothing I can say hear to change anyones opinion of the man. All the haters will still hate. My second most respected president in my lifetime. Bring it on!
