(3,580 posts)Even at the time when Bush was president and I hated him, I thought his daughters acted kinda tame. And I thought Laura was fine as a 1st lady. I can't imagine growing up in the white house.
I hated Bush almost as much as I hated Reagan. I hated him, he ruinned the country
His daughters reminded me of some kids I used to teach horse back riding to. I remember 14 year olds parents went with her to Europe and paid for a trainer to go with them to buy a horse this kid could have a pony. And they expected to pay 100k for it. I used to teach the girl and she really was a nice kid, just spoiled and had no clue this wasn't normal. But really acted like a 14 year old when she got together with friends at the barn. I don't blame her and frankly if I had money like that, my kid would have gone to Europe at 14 too.
