I had similar thoughts of the hildebeast when she was first lady.

Laura Bush will go down in history as a class act between two busybodies.

As a matter of fact she did. Appreciativeness from a first lady expressed vocally is rare I guess?

She was great- her speech was meaningful and beautiful.

Goodbye classy and eloquent, hello gaudy and rambler...

Absolutely.

Her talents and gifts were wasted on much of this ungrateful nation.

I'm glad this is the first speech she shows gratitude. In the past she complained bitterly about USA, white house built by slaves.

Yes they were. Amidst so much racism and hate, they held their heads up high and always responded with class.

Compared to the thin-skinned curmudgeon who is coming in, good lord...

First lady's should be seen not heard.

Well we've all certainly seen plenty of the incoming first "lady".

"Her" or "His?" I don't want to hear anything "she" has to say.
