NO.
Take 8 minutes and WATCH THE INTERVIEW.
She is in France. It would be completely out of line for her — or any First Lady or former President — to criticize our country or its leadership when on foreign soil.
She merely answers questions, some of them attempted “gotchas,” and she does it well. This was an interview, not a speech.
She deftly sidesteps the potholes, praises Dick Cheney, says all the right Mom things about “making a home for your family” and wishing the political bickering wasn’t so bad, and gives gracious, intelligent answers.
No way does she criticize Americans at all.
Thanks for your post. Mrs. Bush has shown again and again that she is a decent human being. She has held her tongue millions of times rather than saying anything unkind about another person. That is not typical liberal behavior.
