We never had cause for concern with Laura Bush as First Lady. She never embarrassed the country. Her clothing was perfect. She didn't try to dress over (or under) the top, and she had perfect posture and a ladylike walk and stance. She was composed, sure of herself, and well-spoken. She was perfect, as far as I'm concerned.
I'd have to agree with that. I was never a big fan of President Bush but husband Bush seemed wonderful and no wonder with a wife like that. Mrs. Bush, always classy, I have a great deal of respect for her. The quintessential first lady.
Mich and Barry never seem to fit in - no matter what they wear, the gifts they give, the engagements and speeches - it just never seems to work. They are never genuine. I bet some 24 y/o intern thought of the iPod with Barry's famous speeches on it.
It's like they try to offend others by saying the wrong things, addressing the wrong world leaders, giving odd gifts, insulting treasured customs, and wearing inappropriate clothing for an event.
Pres Bush was so genuine in smiling and laughing when he goofed up during a speech. Laura was thoughtful, classy, and distinguished right next to him. Such a contrast.
