Bush changed the world for the worst, his time in office was a travesty.JustBeYourself

When Obama received a Nobel peace prize for doing nothing at all, you get an idea how terrible the previous president was.

I loved George W's book 'decision points.' I've never read anything so blatantly designed to blame other people for one's own failures in my life. It may as well have been one sheet of paper with a list of names on it.

That, or how pathetic the Nobel commity has gotten in recent years.

Considering the EU got the Nobel Peace prize last year, I'm more willing to believe the latter.

One of the more interesting features of the Bush library is an interactive feature where users get to step into Bush's shoes and get to make important decisions that Bush made. The visitor will hear information that Bush's aides and advisors gave him before making various decisions, and then the user will be asked to make a decision. After the visitor decides, Bush's image appears on screen and explains what decision he made and why. To me that feature sounds kind of cool, it's like your being president for a little bit and making a decision at a historical "decision point".

Sounds cool, but obviously there is going to be a huge amount of bias in what you hear

I think the whole "golf course"/"vacation" complaint in general is a stupid one. Do people really think that when the president goes to his vacation home that means he's not working during that time? The job follows them everywhere. This applies for Bush, Obama, or whoever

Henry Kissinger won a peace prize in 1973. Completely undeserving people winning the peace prize is nothing new

agreed, only the people who are completely partisan would take that complaint seriously.

Like most tings in modern US politics, yes it is stupid.

And apparently if you make a decision other than what Bush made it tells you that you made the wrong one and why.  No joke.

Also, I believe in this case it's spelled "libary."
