all you hating on OBAMA AND HIS WIFE why dont you just wait until november, to show what your ideas are all about, in the meantime you have faired to bring OBAMA down, so you may as well for now keep your opinion to your selves

Some people including Mrs Bush seem to forget the Hillary was first lady for eight years. Hillary has accomplished what Laura will never accomplish and what Mrs obama could only dream of accomplishing. Go Hillary! Its not over till its over!

As for experience, I would say they both have the same measure of experience because they were both in the legislative house and have never ever governed a State. Mccain can claim that he has being in Politics for a far longer time but that has to do with legislative experiences and not administrative. Infact, I will equate Hillary clinton higher than both on that issue but Obama's change won a lot of voters. People are saying what change, they cannot see it and yet they contradict themselves and criticise him for those changes. We may not buy the changes but insinuating that he is offering no change is far from the truth.

I remember when Mrs. Bush said she spoke for a very long time with Hillary Clinton when she left the White House in 2001. They spoke about how to shield the Bush twins from the press and how to make it easier on them being the children of a President. She said Hillary was very gracious and now Laura is doing the same. That's how most women are. The press/media and even some in this country want to keep the glass ceiling where it is, but one day it will crumble and Hillary Clinton did manage to put a ton of cracks in it.

Wow! maybe Laura should have ran for president she makes more sense than George

Why do I get the feeling that Laura Bush has been recruited by the GOP machine to make nicey nicey with Clinton supporters in yet another attempt to pander them into supporting McSame. I guess Im not naive enough to fall for the same old crap.

The media made Obama and the media almost ruined him. We can see how long they played the Reverend wright issue and how long they played Mccain's. Why? First and foremost apart from giving you the news, the media is in it for profit reasons. They have to keep their jobs. Obama appeals, Obama sells. People may not like him but that doesnt mean they will not want to hear him speak or otherwise. Anytime he has an event almost every internet news site switches over to that speech. Why, because most people want to hear him speak. People are crying over his associations but apart from Rezko, there is no other place you can find him directly involved. If we want to start drawing guilty by associations, then Mccain would long have been crucified but those things are sticking a liitle bit on Obama because those are the only things they could find to attack him with. Obama is not the Messiah. He knows that and says it. He is a man with faults just like you and I but he has that desire to make a change and that is what many people see.

Obviously, the DNC neither admired Senator Clinton's grit nor her period. I can not recall a nomination process where the Party hierarchy bashed not only the American people, via the barbs/insults route, but a candidate for whom it did not look upon with favor. The self-proclaimed intellectually superior elitists, e.g., Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, etc., etc., who control the DNC and hand-pick its nominee in direct defiance of the voter's preference, have demonstrated nothing short of a self-defeating condescending/arrogant attitude towards Senator Clinton and the American people, such that a loss in November appears unavoidable.

It is truely bizarre isnt it?

George Bush is going to go down as one of the worst presidents in US history.

And Laura Bush is going to go down (in my opinion) in history as one of the most sincere, and gracious first ladies we have ever had.

A classic empty suit is right- He talks and talks about his work with the people as a community organizer - Guess What it was 3 years long-less than the time it takes to get through college

Lookup, I am an American and can say anything I wish. Even if it is about my own race. Praise or criticism. Blacks need to take a good look at themselves and be honest about self created problems instead of the blaming "the man". The man is not causing teenage pregnancy or gang violence. "The man" is not causing the low rate of black men who finish with a college degree.

marsha..

show me a politician, and I'll show you an opportunist.

Dev,

I am black. All the candidates are corrupt. Samantha's message is right. Hopefully she is out in the community making a change

Just like McCains speech last Tuesday gushing over and praising Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush is transparent in trying to woo the disappointed women supporters of Clinton to the GOP.

As long as George Soros has his hand behind the empty suit, Obama will continue to give on 30 minutes polished stump speeches with no substances and keep saying that empty word “change”. His wife will eventually pull a Teresa Heinz Kerry and finish off his campaign run thus opening the door for Hillary.

Lookup, the Clintons are the bottom of the barrel for ethics and Obama has his fleas so it goes both ways. By the way always talking about race is obnoxious, tiring and a major turnoff. Even though I do not agree with Obama on almost any issue he is well spoken and intelligent and not in need of the race card as if it ever helps.

I was not for nor against Hillary Clinton, but as time went on I found myself admiring her strength. I watched friends change their opinion of her and soon she became the topic of many conversations. We all agreed with what Laura Bush said, she has grit and showed incredible strength in this campaign. I definitely would have been Ok with her winning the nomination.

lady laura makes me think there must be something good about gwb that is not obvious to me

hillary does have grit - unfortunately in our society grit is not admired in women though it certainly served clint eastwood and john wayne well ;)

women are supposed to be consorts not sovereign

Samantha ("I don't think he is the right person for the job PERIOD.") But, I guess you will vote for John McCain instead?

My fellow black, that is ridiculous. Obama and Clinton were virtually lock-in-step on the issues. McCain in the exact total opposite!!! Help what cause? The cause to get a Black Woman in office? Kill two birds with one stone? What cause?

After reading Mrs. Bush's words, I conclude that the best thing about the Bush Administration is:

LAURA BUSH!!!!
