(Reuters) - Former U.S. first lady Barbara Bush said on Thursday that she's ready to move beyond this year's campaign season, in comments that came at an Austin conference the week after President Barack Obama's re-election.

"I'm tired now of the elections," Bush, who had endorsed Republican Mitt Romney, said at a forum on America's first ladies. "People spoke. Move on, get on with it. I want to do other things and not to be ugly."

The people also spoke by allowing the Republicans to retain control of the House. Cut funding for Obamacare and all Benghazi Barry’s socialist programs.

Spoken like a true blue blood who has always lived off the largess of the American taxpayer. STFU and go about your pampered life while the rest of us try and correct the grave damage done by your clan.

No she is a completely appropriate target. SHE injected herself and told US to shut up and not be ugly. She could have filled her role and discussed her favorite Thanksgiving recipes or something.

But she decided to tell us to leave Obama alone and agree to an agenda her family also is fine with. No kid gloves for Babs. If she can’t take our response, then she needs to stay out of it.

But no one sided battle where she hits us all she wants, but we are forbidden to note that the old leftist biddy sits very wealthy, happily protected, and never has to worry about finding a job or paying bills, or getting in line for Obamacare. She will ALWAYS have first class medical care.

She’s not senile. Shes lucid, and an establishment leftist.

At least Sarah Palin was elected governor of a large State. Before Reagan selected her husband as VP, GHW Bush had never won any statewide office in an election, only a safe House seat in the most Reublican district in Texas. He would have had no further political career other than through Reagan — geting elected President on a Reagan third term campaign and then disparaging all the themes that made RR one of our best preidents. When he backed off Reagan, he ended up getting all of 38 percent of the vote for reelection as president in 1992, less than Barry Goldwater in 1964.

Way to fight back, Babs. Just like your limp husband did twenty years ago

Anyone who was unwilling to take on Clinton with all that baggage. That’s what started the whole decline, Babs. I would think after what they did to your son, you would hate them with a passion

Sorry, Babs. Under Obama, electioneering never stops.

Let’s see if Babs has the same attitude if her husband passes away in the next four years and Mr. Obama wants to be front and center at the funeral service, saying “I” 55 times during his moment at the pulpit.

Did the Bush clan want McCain and Romney to lose, so Jeb gets to run in 2016?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The last time I was told to stop being ugly

I was standing outside our local courthouse on May 1st with a sign that said

ILLEGAL ALIENS GO HOME
TAKE YOUR ANCHOR BABIES WITH YOU

A white woman slowed down and yelled out her window..

“God dont like ugly”

But other than a car load of illegal alien punks..

Everyone else had thumbs up...

So heres to the thumbs up crowd this time too...

Glock, I wish you would rethink that. I nearly always agree with you. But...please reconsider that.
