I just finished George W. Bush’s book, Decision Points, and I really enjoyed it. There are 14 chapters that give his back story on why he made key decisions during his presidency. Not that I agreed with everything he says or did but I feel like it is a great premise and I would enjoy if each President wrote a book like this.
I had two dominant reactions to the book:
- Being the President of the United States is not a job I would want. The perks don’t seem to match the beatings that you take.
- Leadership is harder than most people acknowledge.
Along the lines of reaction #2, there was one quote in the book that really stood out to me. He states:
“That is the nature of the presidency. Perceptions are shaped by the clarity of hindsight. In the moment of decision, you don’t have that advantage.”
The governor passed a bill into law (while we were there) that makes it mandatory for mothers desiring an abortion to see an ultrasound first. Very cool to be a part of. We also got to hear 
On this historic day in our history as a nation, I find it fascinating that Obama will be using the same Bible that Lincoln used for his inauguration in 1861. I have to admit, I am getting more and more curious to see how he turns out as a President. He certainly has an opportunity to leave his mark upon history.
