		<description># Doug, New Jersey

You are a real jerk !    Find something meaningful to do instead of sitting around trashing the incoming 1st lady.  Get it !  FIRST LADY !    Learn to live with it buddy.  Give the woman a chance.

Why don&#039;t you go out and count the cars on the G S Parkway  ?

As for Laura Bush,  she is a nice lady and shouldn&#039;t be trashed by folks who can&#039;t stand GW.  I can&#039;t stand him but I would never take my dislike of him to her.</description>

		<description>To all the hatemongers out there:

Incompetent does not mean evil!  Elect a C student and he&#039;ll do a C job.  Their time has past and they are moving back to Texas.  It&#039;s time to move on!  Let GW go home in peace and continue his AIDs in Africa work as its the only truly great thing he has ever done and let Laura have one last Christmas in the White House in peace.</description>

Dishonest marketing of a war of choice.

She should hang some yellowcake uranium from the tree. The same stuff Saddam was using to build nukes. You know, as a gentle reminder that the intelligence GWBush AND THE DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED CONGRESS relied on when going to war in Iraq was 100% correct.
 

umm reality you say is your name but I have to ask WHICH reality?  the congress during the bush invasion and occupation of a soverign nation was republican controlled, the first six years we simp;ly had a rubber stamp congress controlled by the radical right sorry you cannot blame that on the republicans.</description>

		<description>To Ernie,  You are truly misinformed and obviously ignorant.  Why don&#039;t you do your homework before you show how stupid you are.  I am a member of Obamas former church. And yes we do celebrate christmas we are christians.  If you read some of the above comments about how past presidents have caused so much death to others including americans in this horrific war you will see that Rev Wright was not far off!!!!!!!!!!</description>

You know, as a gentle reminder that the intelligence GWBush AND THE DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED CONGRESS relied on when going to war in Iraq was 100% correct. Of course, such subtlety would fly beyond the grasp of America&#039;s bought-and-paid-for media.&quot;

The war in Iraq was never 100% correct. It was never 1% correct. As it was said countless times and will be said many more, there never were any WMDs.

Some might argue toppling Saddam was for the good, but then when the situation demanded extreme diplomatic finesse, Bush just sent the artillery to try to bully the iraqis into obedience.</description>

		<description>Richard, The idiea of treating Obama the way the liberals treated Bush on the surfice sounds great, however there is just no way to do that, for that level of hatrid, indecency, dishonesty, and unwavering ability to want, hope and try to destroy the nation that gave you everyting that they hate so much is only available in the cold, hearless body of the liberal Democrat.

Just for fun check the voting record map by county.  Then observe the muder, rape, crime, and auto accident levels per person in these countries.  Yup, there are two Americas, the more libs the worse the place, the redder, the better the people.  Dare ya CNN-Lol!!!</description>

		<description>I really wish we would have seen more of Laura Bush during the last 8 years. She is a kind, intelligent woman who is highly involved with children and human rights. I&#039;m not sure why she was kept in the background so much. *shrugs* 

Many good wishes to your future Mrs. Bush, and thank you for making the transition for the President elect easier.</description>

		<description>&quot;Why on earth would you talk about decorating trees in March when men and women are dying because of your husband. She&#039;s a Stefford wife of the worse kind.&quot;

Someone needs to get over their bitterness.  Michelle Obama has described herself as &quot;mom in chief&quot;.  She is as much the so-called traditional housewife at Laura Bush.</description>

		<description>The WTC was also attacked by terrorists in1993, and Clinton kept us safe the remaining 7 years.  Why do conservatives give Bush credit after 2001, but not Clinton after 1993?</description>

Michelle Obama will put that tree next to the tin can one that you can only afford to build using Mountain Dew cans.  Tell the truth, you are really &quot;Joe the Plumber&quot;  Idiot.</description>

		<description>Mickie- Apparently you are one of the crazy Liberals who thinks that terrorists who seek our destruction are worthy of the same rights as American citizens.  Sorry bud, they are not.  If there was a nuclear device hidden somewhere in New York and it was slated to go off in one hour, and we were holding a terrorist who knew where it was located would you be for doing anything we had to do to that terrorist to get him to tell us where it is so we could save hundreds of thousands of American lives?  My guess is you would be against waterboarding him.  You should be thanking Bush for keeping your family and yourself safe for 7 years</description>

		<description>To Mikie,
I agree with you,  US presidents have issued order to kill so many innocent people around the world..bombed German cities, nuked japan, or 11 day bombing of north VN, used chemical warefare such as agent orange,  cluster bomb in south VN, invaded and occupied the south vietnam, invaded iraq, killed civilian and air raid village...
These American presidents should be brought to justice and impeached.  They are all murderers

...Oh I forget, did you comdemn Rooservelt, , Truman, Nixon, Kemedy, Lyndon Johnson, or just singel out Bush ?</description>

		<description>Larry you need to step back from the keyboard and think.
George Bush CREATED the trying times!
I agree that Laura Bush has been very gracious during the transition but Georgie Boy is a different story. History will be very unkind to him.
I am sure it will be a delight to watch the Obama girls grow up in the White House. I look forward to it.</description>

		<description>Thank you Laura Bush.  You and George have served in the highest positions in the world.   Few people have the chance to do this and most people think they could have done a better job.  Apparently, we didn&#039;t see their names on the ballot.  Maybe they weren&#039;t willing to serve their country or maybe their writing skills would have shown how ignorant and uncaring they really are.  
You know there is a saying &quot;that if you can&#039;t say something nice, say nothing at all&quot;.  But of course we have to remember that this phase was related to the Golden Rule &quot;Do onto others as you want them to do onto you&quot;.   Is our population all missing thoughfullness.

George and Barbara - Thank you for being there for us during a very difficult period of time.  Looking forward to your future work and seeing your library.   Enjoy the rest of your lifes and God Bless you</description>

		<description>I love the first family elect, but Michelle&#039;s taste in clothes is YUCK.  Nice lady, but she dresses like an average bargain basement person.  She needs to elevate the status of the First Lady--get a designer, and preferrably not one from Cuba.  Like the one who designed that election night nightmare dress.</description>

		<description>I like Michelle, but her taste in clothes are a little out there.  I hope she hires someone to decorate the White House and the White House trees for the holidays.

If I see her in another print dress I think I&#039;ll puke polka dots.</description>

		<description>She had a front row seat to the most disastrous presidencial era we&#039;ve ever had.  She sat by and watched her husband run this country in the ground.  I have no respect for her.

Why on earth would you talk about decorating trees in March when men and women are dying because of your husband.  She&#039;s a Stefford wife of the worse kind.</description>

		<description>I think since the majority of people posting on this article today are reflecting on the grace and decency of Laura Bush it might be a good time remember a little something about those two qualities.

It used to be, before the days of divisive hate politics when we ALL respected the office of the President, regardless of who occupied the White House. President Eisenhower, President Johnson, President Bush, President Clinton, get the idea, respect the highest office in the land. Disagree, respectfully. Comment on CNN blogs, respectfully. It is a part of our American heritage. Dissent is your responsibility as an American but respectful dissent is what makes our country great.

So the next time you decide to take a shot at PRESIDENT Bush or PRESIDENT-ELECT Obama, keep in mind that they were both elected BY THE PEOPLE and occupy or will occupy the highest office in the land. With all the tribulations facing us at home and around the world, would it not be helpful to return to a time of respect and decency in our dialogue at home?</description>

Laura always appears to me to be just about two steps away from &quot;spaced out&quot;. Why on earth she would have married her nitwit husband GW is beyond me. Maybe it was the Bush money??? I think she could have done better.
And despite the fact that she might be a &quot;nice lady&quot;, she has been an absolutely &quot;do nothing&quot; First Lady. She comes across as sort of a &#039;walk ten steps behind your man &amp; don&#039;t ever speak&#039; sort of thing.

And despite the fact that she might be a "nice lady", she has been an absolutely "do nothing" First Lady. She comes across as sort of a 'walk ten steps behind your man &amp; don't ever speak' sort of thing.<br />

		<description>To Dave in Central Illinois - by grace if you mean waterboarding, holding prisoners (even citizens) indefinitely without charges, suspension of habeus corpus rights, invading a country for its riches and pretending its to save the people, then yes, I guess he has shown more grace than the rest of us Obama supporters, because we value civil rights.</description>

		<description>I will say that even though I don&#039;t care for Laura, especially after learning that she ran down her prom date, I will say she has been very gracious towards Michelle and the girls.  That is unexpected and refreshing, merry Xmas!  Oh, and Larry, every day you really make a complete idiot out of yourself, being that you are one of the few doorknobs who look at the righties as idols.  Just a word of advice though, open your mind a little more and you might find out what the real world is all about.  Instead of making a complete fool of yourself day in and day out posting pitiful nonsense.  Anyways it is so wonderful now that you&#039;re in the minority to see how the right thinks, and thank the good Lord you&#039;re safely out of power and influence.  But do please keep up the nonsense.  Everything you post gives good reason as to why the country has outright rejected drones like you!</description>

		<description>Look, you can&#039;t just say &quot;oops, sorry&quot; on your way out the door after 8 years of blundering and expect people to forgive and forget. Yes, Bush had many tough challenges to face, but so does every president. Hard times should make a humble and wise man into a better president. They didn&#039;t with W because he&#039;s neither humble nor wise. He surrounded himself by the wrong people and stood fast in the wrong decisions.

At his core, he probably is an okay guy but he&#039;s still incompetent. He&#039;s messed up nearly every venture he&#039;s ever run. Face it...we elected a C-student and we got a huge mess as a result.

To say that he is judged too harshly because of the times is a cop-out. He mishandled one crisis after another and then acted as though anyone who criticized him wasn&#039;t one of those &quot;real&quot; Amercians Sarah Palin told us about.

Having said that, I do think that the Bushs have been very gracious to the Obamas and deserve credit for that. The peaceful transfer of power is one of the things that makes America unique and I&#039;m glad that he (seems to) at least understand that.</description>

		<description>All along I have thought Laura Bush to be intelligent, kind, gracious, and modest.  Basically the opposite of her husband.  
It&#039;s a head-scratcher, why is she with him???</description>
