Only Love Between Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush Onstage

ABC News' Eloise Harper: The morning after receiving verbal punches from her Democratic rivals -- and delivering criticism of President George Bush -- Senator Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., stood on stage Wednesday with the President's wife at an event to support preservation in America.
Clinton, who mentioned Bush twenty-five times last night at the Democratic debate in Philadelphia, joined First Lady Laura Bush in her role as a former first lady to support the preservation of "America's treasures."
The two women walked on stage together at an event in Washington, D.C., to announce legislation authorizing two historic preservation programs that have been used to preserve and protect American heritage and cultural treasures. The two programs are called Preserve America and Save America's Treasures Program, which was founded by Senator Clinton.
"With this bill," Bush said, "We can make sure more communities are protected for our children and our grandchildren."
Thanking Clinton she said, "This preservation initiative was established by another first lady and I'd like to thank Senator Clinton."
"Mrs. Bush, I want to personally thank you," Clinton said at the event. "She has been a great champion of historic preservation of heritage tourism. I am very grateful for her support of Save America's Treasures," she said.
Clinton and Bush thanked each other several times in their remarks, but no mention of the debate.
However retiring Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., quipped: "Senator, I watched last night the debate and I wasn't sure you were going to get here today –- it was all against you and you look terrific."
Clinton smiled and said she wondered whether she would make it to the event after the rough night. "I appreciate Senator Domenci acknowledging that it might have been a little difficult for me to be here but I wouldn't have missed it."
