Former U.S. President George W. Bush Talks “the Facebook”
When you’re out trying to sell a new book, there’s no better marketing strategy than making nice with a guy who has 500 million friends.
Former president George W. Bush continued his rehabilitation tour by sitting down with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to discuss his new book, Decision Points, trade jokes and chat about other matters of the day, reports the New York Daily News.

It’s part of a book tour promoting Bush’s memoir “Decision Points,” which has sold more than 1 million copies. Bush launched his Facebook page earlier this year and has more than 600,000 followers. Facebook Live launched in August.
Bush’s staff posted to his Facebook page:
On Cyber Monday, President Bush will visit Facebook headquarters to discuss his book and take questions from Facebook users and employees. Tune into Facebook Live (http://apps.facebook.com/facebooklive/) to watch a live stream of the event on Monday, November 29, at 5:00 pm EST.
Mr. Bush revealed that he used to be a BlackBerry person but is now an iPad person. He also uses “the Facebook.” To be fair to Mr. Bush, President Obama has previously referred to Twitter as “the Twitter.” Being the leader of the free world apparently means you can apply definite articles to anything you want.
When Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg asked the former president “why Facebook,” Bush responded “because you have a lot of people on here and I’m trying to sell books.” Touche Mr. Bush, touche.
