Progressive majorities result in a more manageable America.

I’m sure that Michele Obama was entirely gracious to Laura Bush, but she must have been bored to tears and thinking “My god, what a vapid person she is”.

Of course, it was a totally stupid thing for Laura Bush to show Mrs. Obama the place her family will be living for the next few years. Mere details! ;)

More likely, being a gracious person, Michelle Obama probably thought about how Laura Bush was from a different generation when it was much less common for women, especially higher income women, to have careers outside the home. Mrs. Obama has shown no signs of the nastiness that you attribute to her.

oh come on
let’s not all start attacking laura bush here. she is simply doing her job as the first lady. now let’s all give her some credit

Credit for what?

Bilbo, I just don’t know. The only thing I can think of is that at least she didn’t start a war against Americans while being crippled by the very thing she was fighting herself.

The war on drugs started by a drug addict is a good example of the things republican first ladies get credit for.

Thank god larua didn’t feel ambitious enough to do something like that to us.

Credit for what?

How did you enjoy the olympics, laura? have you been pressuring your family to talk to the saudi royal family so at least women are allowed to drive there?
so much for the human rights issue.

Have you seen what no child left behind has done to our public school system, laura? no comment there either…

i must agree with fred, this “lady” is nothing more than an empty can.

just pointing out something she DID do very recently, that was very admirable…

Words are cheap……what has she actually done, that’s the point. She was in a position to actually help with some of the things she professes to care about and really did nothing.

You go ahead and forgive her if you want, I not so inclined.

as far as her leaving bush, I don’t think that will be allowed to happen. Too embarrassing to the bush empire as a whole. She may not live with him but she won’t be allowed to divorce him.

just pointing out something she DID do very recently, that was very admirable…

i think this thread is taking an unnecessary and petty potshot at her…

that’s all.

i fully expect that she will be separating herself from her criminal husband soon, and will cheer her on when she does…

she’ll need it – going against the bush regime will take plenty of nerve…

Laura bush biography @ whitehouse.gov

Laura Bush is actively involved in issues of national and global concern, with a particular emphasis on education, health care, and human rights.

If she is going to take credit for her role in these issues shouldn’t she be taken to task for using it as lip service just as the rest of the republicans do on the same issues.

I mean seriously, if she has been activly involved I haven’t seen much of it and no results of her involvement…

yeah, her mom died of breast cancer but she had good health care…..has laura made sure American women at large have the kind of care her mother had? I say no.

I’m sorry, I can’t bring myself to be benevolent to this woman. She is just a quiet sara palen……she alludes to all kinds of lofty ideals but that’s where it has ended.
