In this work Soth focuses his lens on both rural and urban society under Bush's presidency: West Point, Texas, Detroit, California, Alaska, West Virginia and the artist's home in Minnesota. The [images] reflect the scope of the stories that have captured Soth's imagination during President Bush's two terms in office: stories about mothers of Marines serving in Iraq, religion in the American workplace, the biggest landfill in America and the mortgage crisis in Stockton, California. As Soth states: "In assembling this collection of pictures I've made over the last eight years, I guess I'm not really trying to accomplish much at all. But as President Bush once said, 'One of the great things about books is, sometimes there are some fantastic pictures."
