A beautiful summary of the show!
This was my favorite exchange:
Oprah: Were you personally afraid?
Mrs. Bush: I was not. I was not at the White House when they evacuated. … When they told people there to run, they were, of course, afraid. Some members of my staff, young women, were very afraid. The very first day, some of them just fell apart and wept all day. The second day, older members of my staff were upset, and the younger women comforted them.
All the feelings we have are natural. The feelings of sadness, anger, anxiety, uncertainty and confusion. But I know everything is being done to make sure America is safe. So I feel reassured. (they edited quite a bit)
See, she was more concerened about others than herself. What a difference. When she said she was not afraid, I said, "Ditto." Being a Marine wife, I too feel confident our President along with Condi Rice, Dick Cheneny, and Colin powell will do the right thing. Thanks Betty. Laura is a breath of fresh air. Did you see how Oprah kept reaching over to hold Laura's hand? Like Oprah needed to touch Laura for assurence. I thought that was great.
I love Miss Laura. I got an autographed photo of her and GW dancing at one of Inauguration balls yesterday for my donation to the RNC. It is great. My wife put it in a frame for me and I put it up with my military stuff on my office wall.
