So today I perused through the article on Pres. Bush's response to several questions about his wife running for office. I always thought of Bush as conceited, but I'm still shocked by his arrogance and condescending attitude, even towards his own wife. I remember when Senator Clinton was going to run for office and in President Clinton's answers, he was much more supportive of his wife's ambitions.
Of course, I am not a Laura Bush fan, but I felt alarmed by the way the president spoke about her. He made remarks about her that made it look like she couldn't speak her own mind. In his statement, "She's a great lady," the president said. "She's not interested in running for office." In a way that suggested he didn't ask her or even discuss it with her. What if she did want to run for office and get involved? Would he be making all of her decisions even when she is on the floor casting the Senate vote? How can you talk about her in a way that makes it seem like she doesn't have her own mind? Read More »
