Barbara and Jenna Bush gave some simple parting advice to Malia and Sasha, in a poignant video and letter: Have fun, enjoy your childhood and go to anything and everything you possibly can, because the years go by.

The Bush twins gave Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, a tour of the White House in November and in the letter recalled their own years in the White House, as first granddaughters and first daughters.

The Bush family is so classy, especially compared to that low rent group currently in the White House.

well, I’m crying. Which I have done a lot this week. Very sweet.

When I was growing up, I knew that I wanted to marry a man that my girls could adore as much as I adored my dad. It’s a very special bond.

The Bush family is a classy group indeed. Anyone else who has been scrutinized that much I doubt would have handled themselves in the same way.

You got it. I really doubt that family who’s First Lady isn’t proud of her country and the hubby who’s birth certificate I haven’t seen will be as gracious in defeat 4 years from now.

Two problems with altering titles are 1) duplicate threads which we then have to pull and 2) misspelling and punctuation mistakes.

Your altered title below had to be replaced with the original published title:

"Bush Twins Advise for the Obamas (Jenna & Barbara Goodbye VIDEO)"

Please do not alter any published titles. Thanks.

If the group even lasts that long. I (at this point in time) really feel sorry for the kids.

That was beautiful. Just completely classy. Once again, seeing that, I am reminded of how right I am on President George W. Bush.

He was no conservative.

He damaged his party and his country through his lack of political party leadership and unwillingness to play hardball.

He was wrong on a variety of important issues, such as CFR, spending and immigration.

But there were things about him that counteract those faults, in my opinion. He was an honorable, decent, principled, ethical, patriotic man. I thought he was a great wartime President, and the fact that a wide majority of the Military community thinks very highly of him speaks volumes to me.

Watching this video, I was struck again by the class, humanity and decency of this man and his family, because if he wasn't the man he was, and he and his mate weren't the parents they are, this classy and kind video would have never been made. It brought tears to my eyes.

He made me feel as safe as an American could feel over the last seven years following 9/11.

History will be kind to him, someday.

I miss him already. Godspeed, Mr. President, and Thank You.

[HAND SALUTE]
