George W. Bush's A Charge to Keep

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 21. Juni 2000

People who call Bush "lightweight" should read chapters 15 and 16 of this book. Bush demanded and obtained accountability from teachers in Texas and helped Charter Schools (which are way more accountable than many others). He transformed Texas Education. I'd like to see what Gore and Clinton did comparably for education. As for Compassionate Conservatism being lightweight, I don't think that compassion of any kind can be lightweight, although some of the New York newspaper and magazine smart alecs think that you're lightweight if you aren't continually quoting somebody else. There's nothing more compassionate than helping and educating children, even if Clinton doesn't believe it from the reverse message that his behavior has sent to them. Bush tells you how he would mobilize religious volunteers, parents, corporations, and others as part of his compassionate concern. Read the book and decide for yourself - but don't forget the second half of the book, which one of the editorials apparently forgot.

The Best Book by any of the Presidential Candidates

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 25. November 1999

Before reading this book I knew only what I had heard about Governor Bush on the news. I was extremely impressed with the Bush's intellectual command of the issues facing our country today. His eloquence and down-to-earth attitude expressed by his written words demonstrate why Governor Bush is the front-runner for both the Republican primary and the General Election. He presents the current problems facing our nation and the steps that need to be taken to solve these problems. The book also offers readers insight into the man who could be our next President. Bush's words show him to be a man dedicated to our nations best interests and a man of honor and integrity. I've been reading the books by the major presidential candidates, and this by far is the best. Governor Bush shows that he is the candidate most in touch with average voters feelings and beliefs. It demonstrates that his compassionate conservative philosphy is one shared by most Americans. I definitely would encourage people to read this book.

Good for it's purpose!

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 11. Januar 2000

This is not a monumental piece of literature, but it was not writen to change the world. The books job was to tell the people who George W. Bush is, and it accomplished this job very well! It covers his life from childhood to today. And most importaintly, is clearly states his political beliefs and convictions, so you KNOW the man well when you finish. No psychobabble, no theories, just cold, hard facts on the content of his character. By the way, conserning his "Jesus Christ" answer as his favorite philosopher in the debate...if you think that a part, even a very small part, of that answer was political positioning, you NEED to get this book! This is not a boaring preachy read, just a good man shareing his past and present self, as well as his optimistic view of the future.

New ideas for a new future. Why not having Bush!

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 14. März 2000

Due to the importance of America's Presidential election to the entire world, Gov. George W. Bush's "A CHARGE TO KEEP" certainly brings out simple, fresh and extremely bright ideas for a better american society, fully engajed to education, which is the very begining of every modern civilization. Why not give this extraordinary and hardworking man a chance to prove himself? Because of his father's Presidency? Because he has had drinking problems in the past? This is a man commited to his family and to his dreams. The guy has character, for God's sake! Just like some other reader has said before, Gov. Bush is something close to "a breath of fresh air". Come on, people! President Clinton has done a terrific job these years, no questions about it. But will vice President Al Gore be up to the challenge for the next four years? What are his major ideas to keep America growing and improving? Does he only intends to continue Clinton's politics and not move one single line? The same as usual? No changes what so ever? Well, certainly this is not a masterpiece. Could never be, as a matter of fact. One thing is for sure: Gov. Bush deserves the chance.

Bush is a Winner

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 13. Dezember 1999

I bought this book based on reviews in here, and while it is no literary masterpiece, it wasn't intended to be. It was intended to tell people who Bush is and what he stands for, and I think he did a great job of that and I have to say I was impressed. I am surprised by those who say he is shallow based on this book, they should read the last chapter again (if they even did to begin with). He does have a simple, elegant way of stating things, but that indicates genius to me, not shallowness, and what he says is compelling truth, and a very new approach to politics. I really feel we will finally have some (much needed) adult supervision in the White House if he is elected.

What we can expect in a second Bush Presidency

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 22. Dezember 1999

We can contemplate what any candidate will be like in the office to which he aspires, but in the final analysis we must review his background,development of his character and vision for the future of our nation. A Charge to Keep touches all of these bases and gives an objective reader a solid basis for deciding whether Gov. Bush should become President Bush. Gov. Bush admits to mistakes and shortcomings that may have graced his developmental years, but shows how he has learned and grown from this experience. He admits that he was not always a success in the business world(although he ultimately was), but at least he was learning to do something other than feed at the public trough. But most informative is the development of his character, from rough beginnings to a stage where he can honestly swear to us that we will not be embarrassed by his performance in office. His performance as Governor is laid out in detail for us to judge and assess how he would perform in the White House.And his vision for the Nation, how he would use the Bully Pulpit, and how he would deal with Congress are laid out clearly for all of us to arrive at our own conclusions. Everyone reading the book may not conclude that Gov. Bush is his or her first choice to be President. But anyone who will take the time to read it will know what kind of President he would be.

At this Time

Kundenrezension aus den USA 🇺🇸 am 19. September 2001

Verifizierter Kauf

Let us hope and pray before God almighty at this time when we need a strong and intelligent leader that this is simply the poorly written work of Karen Hughes. This book makes Bush come off as shallow, an air-head, and as little more than a cheerleader. This is embarrassing! ...utterly filled with childish prattle that leads the reader to feel that he or she is being read down to. As a well-read reader of the Bush family and W's life I found this book insulting. The following example will suffice:
One night, Laura and I were out of town camping, and Barbara and Jenna spent the night at the vice presidential mansion. Dad had spent the day preparing for a debate with Michael Dukakis. Unfortunately, Barbara lost her sleeping companion, Spikey, her favorite stuffed dog. She complained loudly that she could not sleep without Spikey, so "Gampy," better known as Vice President Bush, spent much of the night before his debate searching the house and grounds of the vice presidential residence, flashlight in hand, on a mission to find Spikey. Finally, he did, and Barbara slept soundly. I don't know if dad ever went to sleep that night. (179)
Oh! Jeeminy wilikers! And it's that way through two hundred forty three pages!
Does anyone really believe that Barbara Bush is so self-absorbed that she would be more concerned about her stuffed dog than about the fact that her husband has a major presidential debate coming up? It's enough to make anyone with more than a third grade education vomit!

Don't expect a page turner!

Kundenrezension aus den USA 🇺🇸 am 2. Januar 2001

Verifizierter Kauf

I bought this book, because I love George W. Bush and I also really appreciated the first 2 positive reviews on Amazon.com regarding the book. But don't expect a page turner per say. I felt a deeper appreciation for Bush after reading that he is a deeply religious man, he worked with disadvantaged children (heart rendering), and he talked about his military service, and educational experience (impressive). Something about people in that generation, they are not articulary "expressive" "personal" so don't expect George W. to discuss his "deepest darkest secrets." (There were other books by men of that generation that i loved who expressed so much more "feeling" such as Colin Powell's book, Norman Schwartzkoff's book, Ken Hamblin, or better yet, "Bill O'reilly." While I admire George W. greatly, I just wish he had revealed more personal thoughts and insights. (maybe its the touchy feely generation x-er in me). The book is worth reading, (if your not into collecting moments in history or political memorabilia) you may want to just borrow a copy. I wanted to be a part of George W's literary success so I bought the book, will go along quite nicely beside's his mother's book that I have (her memoirs). His mother's book is much more fun and "chatty" than his! I also enjoyed hearing about his success as governor in Texas, also it was admirable how he carries out the death penalty and his gubenatorial race with the much hated Ann Richards is worth reading. He is long winded on political detail, on and on the details go...and a lot of things he writes just are plain "boring" and uninspiring... There are some pretty good pictures of George W. that are worth looking at and keeping (such as him in his Fighter Pilot flight suit) my, what a hansom man! (I love him and his bushy eyebrows at Yale)... Worth reading, I am not sure you will be spellbound though... Long live the next president! Hurray Hurray! He is truly and honorable man and that is the important thing, don't you think?.

Proof from the source

Kundenrezension aus den USA 🇺🇸 am 9. April 2014

Verifizierter Kauf

I have mixed feelings about this book. For one thing is that I am no fan of Bush at all but I do appreciate his honesty in this, by which you won't get from many of his followers who are delusional and live in denial and take the word of lying propagandists. So I do recommend this book if you want to know the source and not more propagated lies. Despite what the description on this page says about being authored by Karen Hughes is incorrect as it is an autobiography written by Bush himself. Right towards the beginning of chapter 4 he admits his membership in SKULL & BONES. I know diehard Bush fanatics that deny he was ever a member. If you know any who are like that then I highly recommend this. No true christian can easily dismis one who belonged to a satanic secret society. Also in this you will see how his views aren't christian but are universalist. To be a true christian means that you believe in Christ's lordship and to claim that any other way to God besides him is to call Jesus a liar. What fool calls his own master a liar? But those who support Bush even after reading this book are as bad as he is and a lost cause. In this Bush mentioned that his father started NAFTA, which many blame Bill Clinton for, and which the Illuminati are heavily involved in working to establish the kingdom of the Antichrist. This book is just the beginning as far as getting to the truth of GWB. To really discover more truth about him I recommend Alex Jones dvds and about 9/11 truth.

GREAT BOOK

Kundenrezension aus den USA 🇺🇸 am 1. Februar 2014

Verifizierter Kauf

I read all the Biographies of the Presidents by way of the Presidential series. If you are going to do it, read John Hancock first because he was the first Continental Congress President. You will find as you read these how the lives of each President intertwined with the next. The job is a lineage.
