I thought he didn't read or write.

This book should be required reading by everyone who wants to go into economics as a model of what not to do!!

Well, he could make a long, detailed list of what *not* to do, based on personal experience. That may be helpful to future leaders.

this, from a President who can't do math? less revenue (tax cuts for the wealthy) + massively increased spending (2 unfunded wars, 1 unfunded educational mandate) = a debt bomb that is STILL being cleaned up 4 years later (oh yeah, it's the black muslim kenyan socialist guys's fault)

The book will be easy for "W" to write. It will contain 60 blank pages and a box of crayons.

I hear the title will be Economics 101 for Tea Party Dummies. It is to be their handbook for fiscal irresponsibility and fringe democracy detruction, with a special chapter on how to put a positive spin on by Dick Cheney, the man who would be King.

Somebody is writing a book on economics and george will print his name at the bottom. For george to read the book it will need single syllable words and a lot of pictures for him to colour. Don't expect him to stay within the lines. IF americans continue their track record of stupidity and elect that scumbag mittens then you will have a trifecta of raygun / bush / mittens as the worst presidents ever.
