Description: "On December 13, 1999, George W. shocked the world during a Republican presidential-candidate debate by declaring that Jesus Christ had changed his heart - committing an act that many considered at the time politically suicidal. In spite of an ongoing barrage of leftwing criticism and liberal media harassment for bringing his "private religion into public politics," the people of the United States elected him their president. And he's never backed down from that original profession of faith." "Aikman shows us a verbal video of George and Laura whistle-stopping their way into early politics and, eventually, the governor's mansion in Austin, Texas. From there, we follow them through the tensely contested election that brought them to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the Oval Office, the horrific days following September 11, the invasion of Afghanistan, and the continuing war in Iraq."--BOOK JACKET.
