Get Real

Customer Rating:
I'll be the first to state that there are many things that G W Bush should be validly criticized for, but this is not one of them. What would you do in this situation? Jump immediately to your feet and tell a bunch of 6 year olds that America is under attack? Get real.

A Humble Remembrance

Customer Rating:
Today marks the 7th anniversary of the famous reading of "The Pet Goat". May our leaders never be so enchanted by children's stories as to forgot that acts of war should be dealt with first.

A Little Maturity, Please, People

Customer Rating:
I've never read this book, being an adult and not having children. This is really a review of the controversy over Bush's reading of it for seven minutes after being informed of the second WTC attack. People have accused him of indecisiveness for this. I'm not a fan of the Bush administration or Republicans in general, but this particular bit of criticism is contemptibly foolish. Seven minutes is no time at all; we are talking about a human being (more or less), not a supercomputer. Even in the event of nuclear war, thinking about the problem for seven minutes would be unlikely to make any difference at all. I think the real problem is that Bush is too decisive; he doesn't deliberate nearly enough before making up his mind. Criticizing him for his reading of this book is childish, immature, illogical, and ultimately counter-productive; one's time would be better spent criticizing him for subverting the Constitution or for starting an unjust and illegal war by lying to the American people.

The Pet Goat: A work of genius

Customer Rating:
This is the stuff that makes great men so great. Should be a required reading for leaders of men. Presidential material. I found it so rich and powerful that I had to take seven minutes to reflect and decide what to do next.

contains "The Pet Goat"

Customer Rating:
The biggest claim to fame of this book is that it is the book from which President Bush famously read the story "The Pet Goat" on the morning of September 11th, 2001.

If you look up "The Pet Goat" on Wikipedia, there is a nice picture of George W. Bush holding the book, shortly after then-White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card informed the President that America was under attack.
