Bushisms: The First Term in His Own Special Wordsby Jacob WeisbergISBN 0743262522 (0-7432-6252-2)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Bushisms: The First Term in His Own Special Words'Book summary:The Bush era has been a special time -- for the deficit (back, and larger than ever), for the countries formerly known as our allies, and for the English language. Here it all is, straight from the horse's, er, mouth.
With new Bushisms coming fast and furious in this election season, ace Bushism editor Jacob Weisberg offers a must-read compendium and "explanation" of the first term. Read President Bush's eye-popping description of his economic policy:
"See, without the tax relief package, there would have been a deficit, but there wouldn't have been the commiserate -- not 'commiserate' -- the kick to our economy that occurred as a result of the tax relief."
Got that? How about this analysis of the weapons proliferation problem, from the man with his finger on the Button:
"Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."
Or his belief in the importance of staying connected to us all:
"[A]s you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say."
The Deluxe Edition also includes reality checks: coherent Bush statements about major issues that bear no relation to the truth.
The Deluxe Election-Edition Bushisms is essential reading for everyone still wondering what the past four years have all been about. [via]

In an Uncertain World: Tough Choices from Wall Street to Washingtonby Jacob Weisberg , Robert RubinISBN 0375757309 (0-375-75730-9)
Softcover, Random House Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'In an Uncertain World: Tough Choices from Wall Street to Washington'Book summary:Robert Rubin was sworn in as the seventieth U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in January 1995 in a brisk ceremony attended only by his wife and a few colleagues. As soon as the ceremony was over, he began an emergency meeting with President Bill Clinton on the financial crisis in Mexico. This was not only a harbinger of things to come during what would prove to be a rocky period in the global economy; it also captured the essence of Rubin himself--short on formality, quick to get into the nitty-gritty.
From his early years in the storied arbitrage department at Goldman Sachs to his current position as chairman of the executive committee of Citigroup, Robert Rubin has been a major figure at the center of the American financial system. He was a key player in the longest economic expansion in U.S. history. With In an Uncertain World, Rubin offers a shrewd, keen analysis of some of the most important events in recent American history and presents a clear, consistent approach to thinking about markets and dealing with the new risks of the global economy.
Rubin's fundamental philosophy is that nothing is provably certain. Probabilistic thinking has guided his career in both business and government. We see that discipline at work in meetings with President Clinton and Hillary Clinton, Chinese premier Zhu Rongji, Alan Greenspan, Lawrence Summers, Newt Gingrich, Sanford Weill, and the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan. We see Rubin apply it time and again while facing financial crises in Asia, Russia, and Brazil; the federal government shutdown; the rise and fall of the stock market; the challenges of the post-September 11 world; the ongoing struggle over fiscal policy; and many other momentous economic and political events.
With a compelling and candid voice and a sharp eye for detail, Rubin portrays the daily life of the White House-confronting matters both mighty and mundane--as astutely as he examines the challenges that lie ahead for the nation. Part political memoir, part prescriptive economic analysis, and part personal look at business problems, In an Uncertain World is a deep examination of Washington and Wall Street by a figure who for three decades has been at the center of both worlds.

Still More Bushisms: Neither in French, nor in English, nor in Mexicanby Jacob WeisbergISBN 0743477901 (0-7434-7790-1)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Still More Bushisms: Neither in French, nor in English, nor in Mexican'Book summary:Give him a microphone, a podium, even a teleprompter...and he's off! George W. Bush fans and foes alike just can't get enough of Dubya's headline-grabbing gaffes and malapropisms - and the hits just keep on coming. In this third instalment of BUSHISMS, Dubya's unique brand of verbal contortionism is more hilarious and enjoyable than ever. Here is Bushspeak in all its mind boggling glory, from the scrambled sayings ('Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again') to the vocabulary stretches ('the embetterment of mankind'), to the almost Zen-like statements ('I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here.'). Whether he's talking about government, leadership, or subjects that defy any attempt at classification, Bush's distinctive way with words shines through on every page of this entertaining collection. It's a book that everyone will want to buy twice-once to give and once to keep. Love him or hate him, it's impossible not to laugh. [via]
