Former U.S. first lady Barbara Bush said on Thursday that she's ready to move beyond this year's campaign season, in comments that came at an Austin conference the week after President Barack Obama's re-election.
"I'm tired now of the elections," Bush, who had endorsed Republican Mitt Romney, said at a forum on America's first ladies. "People spoke. Move on, get on with it. I want to do other things and not to be ugly."
Bush, sporting a double strand of her signature pearls, joined former first lady Laura Bush on a panel for the Enduring Legacies of America's First Ladies conference at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library.
The first ladies avoided offering political opinions, but Barbara Bush did issue a stern warning to both Republicans and Democrats.
"They are going to have to compromise," said Barbara Bush, the wife of former President George H.W. Bush. "It's not a dirty word."

Yup, bless her elitist soul. Even Mitt had a better handle on it than she.
Psst ,hey (any) Bush, no one wants to hear your twaddle.Go away.
I mean can’t she have even said anything classy like “I’m disappointed, I still believe the GOP can do a better job, and it’s up to us to make gains in 2014 and beyond.”
Why don’t you shut the “F” up and just go away.
Barbara Bush may be surprised to know this, but her opinion is not worth a single cent more than anyone else’s.
Ah, “No new taxes” George Bush and Big Mouth Barb, what would we do without them?
America’s elite speaks. The one percenters to whom the elections don’t make much difference.
LOL, and that’s saying something, right?
She wants us to compromise to the point that we are no longer who we profess ourselves to be, but some twisted amalgam that we despise and loathe.
Twisted amalgam, hey that's about as good a way to put it as I've heard. Obama may be the head of the self-loathing, self destructive blue country. But he ain't OUR boss.
I’m sorry Mrs. Bush the time for compromise is past. When one side cheats and steals to achieve their ends then compromise is no longer possible.
Well we get accused of "vote suppression" no matter what so why not make it real. Double, triple down on ID, voter roll tidying, and such horribly unfair measures, so unfair that even the UN wonders why we don't do it. And also figure out ways to beat the small-b bushes for the vote when it comes crunch time. The Acorns of this world do, so why not the oaks.
She’s short a Twinkie.
She’s short a Twinkie.
The Queen has spoken.
“Get on with it” = Get back to work paying them taxes!
We’re all short Twinkies today, R.I.P. Hostess (at least for now, till somebody buys the brand rights).
I don’t even care to be polite anymore about the Bush bunch, just STFU.
subtract politely, and I’m in
Easy to state when you are not a part of the working middle class, or the working poor lesser middle class.
Shut up Babs. Every Bush woman has approved of Obamacare and abortion.
She is nicely wealthy, has lived the last several decades sucking at the government nipple, has round the clock protection by secret service, and will NEVER have to worry about finding a job. Who the hell is SHE to tell us to shut up and get over it?
And most sickening of all, she will never have to wait in line for whatever treatments Obamacare will allow. She will be front of the line for the best available.
Stupid old leftist establishment GOP biddy.
zero is NOT my president - I don't belong in the same country as the obamaphone person (won't call her a lady). Our country has been stolen right under our noses.
Was so happy and confident that Mitt would win - I mean, what person in their right mind would vote for Obama after the last 4 years???? I dread the next 4 years.
I have an Revolutionary War ancestor who at the age of 19, after marching for days, encountered chest high cold water his group had to walk in for miles to reach an outpost of the Redcoats and despite not eating and being almost frozen they were victorious. And then he signed up for more. And when the war was over he built his own house and had 15 kids.
There are so few today...SEALS, people like Sarah Palin, some Freepers I'm sure, but overall, oh so few who have the courage and grit that built this country.
She’s “tired” of it? Then eff off and drop dead. I’m sure this will be deleted.. Just had to say it. I wish death on no one but could these buttholes just stfu!
