Re: GWB interviews
as he suggested before...it looks like history is treating him very kindly.
the common thread i hear from people who have watched these interviews is how reasonable and likable he comes across. People seem to have really short memories and are willing to forgive for what at the time seemed like totally unreasonable and unreasoned decisions.When its hot in the jungle of peace I go swimming in the ocean of love.....Comment

Really?
From my circles and what I have been reading he is getting BLASTED an d rightly so. Here he comes years after still lying about Iraq 
..trying desperately to re-write history so it can become "kind" to him
It is even worst for him now that he reveled what Dick said to him about Sadam after 911. He hasn't gained an ounce of respect from me during this tourComment

Re: GWB interviews
He seems to have been getting a favorable treatment. What do you think of Kanye's apology to him? Was it genuine or is he just about apologizing to everyone?Out of Many One People Online

Re: GWB interviews
i was reading the one interview re; the picture he took flying over katrina and how he regretted taking that picture. so my question is if he would have looked even more detached in his $5,000 business casual outfit handing out bottles of water and toilet paper.
Former President George W. Bush says it was a "huge mistake" to let himself be photographed looking from Air Force One down at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Bush reflected on the iconic photograph during an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer to promote his forthcoming memoir, "Decision Points." The photo was published widely and only reinforced the view that the Bush administration didn't act quickly enough or fully grasp the severity of the problems on the ground in New Orleans after the levees broke.
[Photos: Iconic images of Katrina's aftermath]
"Let's get to the picture that we may have seen more of you in the last couple years of your presidency than any other picture," Lauer said. "You're sitting in Air Force One, flying back toward Washington. You fly right over New Orleans and you look out the window."
"Yes," Bush responded. "Huge mistake."
The full Lauer interview airs 8 p.m. Monday night, with Bush's book hitting shelves the following day. But NBC released the following excerpt Friday:
LAUER: Yeah. And in comes the press and they take that picture. And it made you look so out of touch.
BUSH: Detached and uncaring. No question about it.
LAUER: Whose fault was it?
BUSH: It's always my fault. I mean I was the one who should have said, A, don't take my picture, B, let's land in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, C, let's don't even come close to the area. Let's -- the next place to be seen is in Washington at a command center. I mean, it was my fault.
LAUER: When the picture's released you write, "I immediately knew it was a problem."
BUSH: Of course. I'd been around long enough to know that when it was released. And the reason why we didn't land in Louisiana is because I was concerned that first responders would be pulled off their task and I'd be criticized. In retrospect, however, I should have touched down in Baton Rouge, met with the governor and walked out and said, "I hear you. We understand. And we're going to help the state and help the local governments with as much resources as needed." And then got back on a flight up to Washington. I did not do that. And paid a price for it.
[Then and now photos: New Orleans, five years later]
It's likely that most of the revelations in Bush's book will be covered before the title becomes available in stores.
The New York Times already snagged a copy of the book and revealed Tuesday that Bush once considered replacing Vice President Dick Cheney before running for re-election in 2004. Also, NBC released a previous excerpt in which Bush said that rapper Kanye West's criticism of him after Katrina - that he "doesn't care about black people" - was "one of the most disgusting moments of my presidency."

Re: GWB interviews
I always thought Bush was likable person. I first remember seeing him in an interview when he was Governor of Texas. The story was on how he campaigned and reached out to people shaking hands etc. He was straight forward and answered questions in a practical manner. His personality has not changed...now his decisions are a different story...Dart Vader (Cheney)
and the other members of the Sith (I mean his cabinet) influenced his decisions.
