She was out defending President Obama today for his speech to the school children. She should have mentioned her father in law did the same thing and the Democrats investigated him for it!!
She wouldn’t mention her father-in-law’s trouble because she has always just shrugged and said “that’s the way politics is”. In other words why spend a second on the point when you KNOW that’s how it has been, is and will be.
She doesn’t like it. She has said many times she doesn’t like politics, except for one part and that is, in politics you get to meet people and you have influence over some important causes (she means nonpolitical causes). But the petty, unfair attacks and partisanship she HATES.
As for Obama’s speech to kids, you might want to know that she mentioned there were reasons parents objected to the accompanying lesson plan. So she did put down the lesson plan, which is at least something.
After that, I believe she focused on the message of “work hard in school, overcome obstacles even family ones and others, stay in school, don’t drop out, discover what you’re good at and like and stay focused on it until you reach your goals”...that type of thing.
She must have thought those points would benefit children and that is what she cares about. She has the greatest heart for each school child, as the teacher she was and education advocate she is.
I don’t agree with everything Laura does or says, believe me. But I understand where she’s coming from...she hasn’t hidden it and you can see her patterns are consistent.
