LOL dipy is dipy. The Right Man: The Surprise Presidency of George W. Bush by David Frum Objective and accurate, January 18, 2003 Reviewer: www.juntosociety.com (see more about me) from Kyle, TX USA As far as I can tell, there is only one problem with this book. Getting the Bush-haters to read it. Many will claim this a work of bias without ever opening the book. Others will dismiss it because of David Frum himself. From his years as an editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal and through the several books Frum has published, he has established himself a conservative. This means most readers from the left side of the aisle will avoid this fine book like the plague. But if you think this is just another conservative writer singing praises of the President, you couldn't be more wrong. Frum has long been known to have opposed the Bush presidency. When asked to join the President's staff as a speech writer, he was at first shocked, and later quite reluctant. Throughout the book, Frum call a spade a spade. When he disagrees with something the President said or did, he tells the reader. The question of "Who is George W. Bush?" is clearly delineated throughout this book. We find the author shocked to discover a man of such virtue leading the nation from the Oval Office. We see the President, not as the bumbling idiot the media and the left have tried tenaciously to portray him as, but rather as the sly, ever calculating fox that he is. We see the President as the 'right man' for leading this nation at a time when solid and relentless perspicacity is most needed. The reader sees first hand, the oil and water mixture of a working relationship between Karl Rove and Karen Hughes. The leftist myths that the President is only a puppet and that Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, et. al. are truly running the nation are removed without doubt. Anyone who will read this book with an open mind will come away greatly enlightened. Admirers of George W. Bush will deepen that admiration. Dissenters still will not like the President, but they will find that, though they disagree with his politics, they cannot deny that he is a good, descent, intelligent man who is trying desperately to lead America in the right direction. Give this book a chance. You won't regret it. amazon.com
