Default Can you imagine Hillary or Michelle Obama being this Gracious?

I can't.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalra...bush-prai.html

Quote:
ABC News' Jonathan Karl Reports: In an ABC News exclusive, First Lady Laura Bush praised former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, saying that knowing the challenges of a presidential campaign first-hand, she "admired Hillary's grit and strength".

Speaking from Slovenia, Mrs. Bush said "I know what its like to run those campaigns, to be the candidate and how very difficult it is both emotionally and physically. It's a huge endurance, process of endurance, and so I'll have to say I have a lot of admiration for her endurance and strength."

...

And while the first lady said she would prefer the nation's first female presidential nominee to be a Republican candidate, she said Clinton "did great".

"I know it's hard," Mrs. Bush said, "It's hard to do that and I think she did great."

On the '08 campaign, Mrs. Bush also had words of advice for the wife of the recently-anointed Democratic presidential nominee, Michelle Obama.

Responding to Michelle Obama's recent remarks that "for the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country", Mrs. Bush said "I think she probably meant 'I'm more proud'" but cautioned "you have to be very careful in what you say" on the campaign trail"
I know the current narrative amongst the liberals is that McCain = Bush third term, but if I were looking for a deja vu experience, I'd say that Michelle Obama is Hillary Clinton (back when Hillary was just a First Lady).

So, come Jan '09, you can say adios to gracious behavior from the First Lady.

I'd bet Cindy McCain is just afraid.

She probably would make a gracious first lady.
If she weren't so callously dumped.

Fortunately, the Michelle "the c-word" Obama is going to be First Lady, so we don't have to worry about gracious behavior for the next 4 years.

I say we immediately amend the Constitution and let Bush stay...if we don't have a First Lady as meek and polite as Laura Bush, all hell will break loose!!

I thought Cindy McCain was the c-word. That's what John called her, right?

Don't know, don't care. Michelle Obama IS the c-word. She makes Hillary Clinton look like Aunt Bee.

This whole thread is stupid, but that attack is pretty base.

Pretty ironic coming from someone who laments a loss of "graciousness."
