Michelle Obama on George W: 'I Love Him to Death'

(Newser) – Michelle Obama and George W. Bush have long had a special relationship, and at John McCain's funeral, a video of the former president handing the former first lady a cough drop as they sat next to one another in the crowd went viral. Obama, appearing on TODAY Thursday, explained. "It was a simple gesture," she said. As Bush got out a cough drop for his wife, Laura, "I looked over and I said, 'Hand me a cough drop,'" and he did. "President Bush and I, we are forever seatmates because of protocol. That's how we sit at all the official functions," she added. "He is my partner in crime at every major thing where all the 'formers' gather. So we're together all the time, and I love him to death. He's a wonderful man, he's a funny man."

She added that people are craving bipartisan moments like these: "That's what people are hungry for. ... Party doesn't separate us, color, gender, those kinds of things don't separate us. It's the messages that we send. If we're the adults and the leaders in the room and we're not showing that level of decency, we cannot expect our children to do the same. So that's what I think about, when I think about the gestures and the symbols and what our words mean and the impact that it has. I think about the next generation, every single time." As for the cough drop, it was pretty old, she noted. The box had a White House logo on it, "And I was like, 'How long have you had these?'" Obama recalled. "He said, 'A long time; we've got a lot of these.'"

politics is like professional wrestling. they talk a good story, but at the end of the day, they are drinking in the same bar sharing martinis and war stories. I don’t believe a word anybody says, anymore.

For 8 years the democrats used “Dubya’ as a whipping boy and did their best to bring him to death’s door.

Then Jug-Ears Obama spent the next 8 years blaming everything that went wrong on him.

Now Moochie “The Brown Clown” Obama loves him to death.

But ‘Dubya’ still hangs in there with democrats like a moth to a flame.

Is that because for 8 years he didn’t criticize the Obama administration but wasn’t afraid to criticize Pres. Trump?

I’m supposed to be impressed that she likes a person who was so weak and soft, he bent over backwards to be nice to her. How could she not love him!

This same weak fool Bush then comes out to attack a real conservative who stands for America.

Both Bush and Michelle can take a flying leap. When she says she loves Trump, I’ll be impressed.......fool.

What a pussy. I have long since trashed all GWB and Laura B, pix, Christmas Cards, engraved thanx cards {we donated the max several times to the shrub}, and he has disappointed us many times.

Bush was a better choice than 'the planet has a fever' or lurch, but he had BB balls and loved the illegals.

He would never defend the USA, himself or his voters, beneath the 'dignity of the office'. Asshole.

Moochy: “George, you don’t happen to have a spare jock strap in your pocket do you? Mine just broke again”. Bush: “No can do Chewy, how about a cough drop instead”......

The KKKlintons and the Obamas love the Bush family because they are naive SAPs who are easily taken advantage of. We really dodged the bullet with JEB!
