Closed captioning of: George W. Bush: ‘I gave it my all’
>>>
he was not on the ballot this year, but former
president george w. bush
was certainly on the minds of some voters yesterday.
>>
now he's ready to speak out about his years in office. recently i traveled to texas to talk to the former president, his first interview since leaving the house and i talked to him about what others view about his time in office. here's what you write, i believe it's impossible to reach definitive conclusions about my presidency or any recent presidency for that matter for several decades. isn't that the purpose of a book like this to either cement perception or change perception?
>>
kind of. but the main purpose of the book is to have a starting point, not a starting point, a data point for future historians. this may seem strange to you, i really don't care about perceptions at this point in time. i served, i gave it my all and i'm a content man. and the book has been part of the transition process to
private life
and it's a way for me to put the reader in the environment in which i had to make decisions.
>>
and our conversation covers a lot of those
key decisions
. we talk about 9/11, the wars in afghanistan and iraq,
hurricane katrina
, enhanced interrogation techniques, the
financial crisis
. we're going to have more of our interview with
president bush
next week, it's a one-hour
prime time
special, "decision point". that's next monday at 8:00, 7:00
central time
right here on anbc. and then he'll be live in our studios next week. he seems to really be in a good place in life. he seems to be completely at peace with his surroundings.

The rain in the Northeast is bad for barbecues but good for the retailers who are pulling out all the stops to drive customers to their stores this weekend. Though the discounts may be deep, there are some purchases that are smarter than others.
