Product Description
Photo ops, aka photo opportunities, are a staple of political management. Photo oops are photo ops with a twist. In BUSH Oops, 110 hysterically human shots of Dubya have been culled from news bureaus and captioned for even more pointed effect.

In this regime of meticulously staged, compulsively controlled presidential appearances on podium and screen, on aircraft carrier or Mt. Rushmore, it is a relief to be reminded that accidents do happen, sometimes for the sidesplitting benefit of the dutiful audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny, June 7, 2004
By B. Hauber "Bubblegum Books" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book features a great selection of mostly less-than-flattering images of W. The captions that accompany each photo make for a pretty hilarious, light-hearted book. Even if you're a Bush fan, there's enough humor in here to keep you laughing out loud.

5.0 out of 5 stars When Photo Ops become Photo Oops..., March 10, 2005
By J. Guild (Toronto,Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is just a fun little book.What we have here is a collection of 107 photos.There is nothing special about any of these pictures.A lot of them were actully posed for but a totally unconnected caption is added that makes the connection very humorous.A lot of the others are shots that are taken when the President is off guard,relaxed,or even clowning around.It is easy to get shots like this since the cameras are flashing continuously.It kind of reminds me of when I tried to get my 3 kids to pose for a group shot.It also shows how much expressions change even when they are aware that a camera is on them.So, to anyone who has lots of "discards",it is quite simple to spread some out and come up with some great comments to attach to them.One should not take offense at these photos or add any particular political bias over it all as it has been done about many prominent persons.Any world leader and particularly the Queen of England and the Pope are often subjects and of course all presidents at all times.
I am sure President Bush would get a good laugh out of them,and could even come up with as good or better captions.
An even better approach would be to take an actual comment made,then add it to a totally disconnected photo.It would even be fun to take the photos in this book,remove the captions and come up with your own.Hey,have I just invented a parlour game?
This same thing has frequently been done with animals.One of my favorites is a head shot of a Bald Eagle with the caption "But I am smiling".
For some time I have kept a collection of shots of celebrity faces ,with everything removed but the eyes.It's like a puzzle book where the object is to guess who the eyes belong to. Maybe it would be fun to make your own book of photos,either your own snapshots or photos from papers or magazines and come up with your own captions.Who says you could never write a book?
Anyway, an entertaining little book that is good for a half hour's look through;but an idea that could be developed as a personal or group entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Photo Ops Gone Terribly Wrong, November 30, 2007
President Bush has, by all accounts, the most visually interesting face for cameras since Nixon was President. President Bush just manages to be expressive and strikes so interesting poses. Throw in some very high speed cameras and you have photo ops turned into photo oops.

The writers took a number of photos of President Bush, some staged and others not, and added captions below the photos. The captions are funny and try to capture what could have been happening in the photo. There are also photos of Kerry, Edwards, Rice, Cheney and a host of others.

This would make a great gift for the person who collects presidential trivia or for someone who has a dislike for President Bush.
