Well knowing Laura like I do, She is such a Beautiful person who never wants to say anything bad about even the worst of her husbands enemies. She understood that it was going to be a whole lot of the same ol same ol and it would be regurgitated a thousand times over adnauseum by the fawning media. A woman of her intelligence (she is a Librarian you know?) does not need to waste her valuable time listening to the first black president crowing about how great he is compared to her husband!

While I disagree with your partisan spin, I have to agree with the sentiment. Why would any wife bother listening to someone who was likely going say everything her husband did in the past 8 years was illegal, immoral or just plain stupid? You'd have to be a masochist to subject yourself to that....unless, of course, you agreed with the speaker (not to imply the Laura Bush did...just thinking of some of the marriages I know....)

Or the fact she just spent eight long years dealing with all of the political baggage that comes with being first lady and just wanted a break. I fault no former first lady, regardless of party, for saying I just want some time away from politics and just relax. It's tough to be President, but I don't think it's all that easy being his wife.

I am surely not a supporter of the GOP but to accuse Laura Bush of not caring about the country because she missed a political speech is just ludicrious. I suspect that she, more than most, knows just how little stock you can put in what politicians say publically.

You guys devistated this country and now you don't even care about what's going to happen!
who cares what obama has to say? I have never wasted time watching political grandstanding.

a cleverly crafted trick (no doubt conceived by the obama administration) to draw in the stupid and moronic...unlike the current economic policies...seems to be working!!!!!!!
