Barbara and Jenna Bush answered: Hi, Kari, this is Barbara. The campaign trail has been so much fun -- we have had a blast hanging out with our Dad and meeting tons of people across the US. The entire experience has been awe-inspiring; especially since this is the first time we have had a chance to contribute most of our time. I went to my first rally with my Dad two weeks ago in Michigan and was completely floored by the event. I had never witnessed so many people so excited to get my Dad reelected. As I sat on stage waiting for my Dad to deliver his remarks, I was so overcome by the unbelievable excitement in the room, watching so many people yell and chant for my father, I could not help but get tears in my eyes. It was amazing to meet so many people that respect and love my dad almost as much as I do!
Ahhhhh, so sweet. More of the chat is HERE
Thank you for posting this. I remember some of the pics from that rally and she really did look very moved at the affection the crowd had for her Dad.
Thanks for the great link! They certainly seem to be fine young ladies. I bet George and Laura will read it and be proud.
Thank you for posting the twins' Q&A info and link! I just knew that was how this was affecting them. Go W!

What foreign leaders or diginitaries have you met?
Barbara and Jenna Bush answered:
Yes, Andrea, and that is definitely one of the best things about being the daughters of a President. We have both gotten to meet some extremely intelligent, interesting people. We both met former President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Havel, and felt extremely inspired and moved. He is a man who was imprisoned for fighting communism and was the first President of the Czech Republic. He also is an amazing author and playwright and he loves the Rolling Stones! We have also met Tony Blair of Great Britain and Vladimir Putin of Russia - in addition to being highly intelligent and amazing leaders, they both have a great sense of humor!
Okay, one last one -- the twins will be at the Olympics in Greece:

Jenna, did you like Spain? Do you plan to visit any other foreign countries in the near future?
Barbara and Jenna Bush answered:
Craig, this is Jenna. I will answer this one and am so glad you asked because I love Spain and could probably talk about it for hours. I lived and did a study abroad program in Cádiz, Spain (a beautiful beach town in Andalucia) when I was sixteen and fell in love with the Spanish culture. I love the relaxed atmosphere and attitude that everyone has; I love the amazing tapas and beautiful flamenco music. Okay, I am feeling very nostalgic for Spain. Barbara and I both love to travel and we are so lucky to have had the opportunity to see so many places, both in the United States and abroad. We are going in a couple weeks with the American delegation to the Olympics in Greece and are so excited. But, that will be our last trip overseas for a while, because we will be working for our dad until November!
