1. I'm telling you, Barack is not the best speaker in that house

The best writer, yes, but Michelle's one of the best speakers I've ever seen.

2. I am so excited to see a First Lady I really WANT to hear speak!

I can't wait to see her part in the rebuilding of America. We have an amazing team.

4. I've softened up a bit over Laura Bush in the last eight years...

...primarily due to the fact that I wouldn't want to live her life for all of the tea in China.

Don't get me wrong...I still don't care for her, I still don't want to listen to anything she has to say...but there's that old saying "there, but for the grace of God, go I."

I'm guessing that in 2009, Laura Bush is going to have a pretty miserable life. Oh, she and Junior will move into their nice Dallas or Houston mansion, and they'll still have 24 hour access to the living mummies in Kennebunport...

...but she'll be spending, decorating, spending, decorating...maybe taking a break to speak at a local library on the importance of reading, after which she will return home to the least intellectually curious former president of our lifetime.

Yep...with Barack & Michelle, it's a two-few. Two educated people, two passionate people, two people who "get it."

:patriot:
