Laura Bush Speaks about Her New Book


Laura Bush is the former First Lady who puts her predecessor and successor to shame.


LI and I heard Laura Bush live at the monthly Walmart meeting. A major celebrity comes to town each month, often reflecting the conservative nature of the area.

I would not give Laura Bush a conservative rating, but she is definitely a rose between two thorns. Hillary was investigated and should have been indicted for her fraudulent activities.

I have asked people, "How many times have you seen a photo of Michelle Obama smiling?" Like Hillary, Michelle seems permanently furious.

Laura Bush was gracious in her comments and only mentioned the press once, adding, "But they always get the last word." She spoke of various charitable efforts. She was unflinching in her discussion of how Afghan women were treated before America liberated the country.

She spent a fair amount of time speaking about her respect for our military and the sacrifices they make for the country. She told the troops, "I feel guilty being in my comfortable bed while you are out here." They responded, "But we want to be here." The audience applauded her. Walmart recruits from the military because they make excellent employees.

One of the great things about this area is the chance to see the interface between a large corporation and its employees. I wish every company treated its employees so well.
