“Literacy is an essential foundation for democracy.”
Laura Bush mostly shared anecdotes of her life in the white house and updates about her family. It was extremely interesting, just not necessarily inspiring or quote-worthy. She did say it was nice to be back home in Texas and out of ‘public housing.’ Hahaha…now that was funny. Calling the White House public housing, while quite true, is simply hilarious. She also referenced the media with some pointed tongue-in-cheek commentary, talking about how she could learn the most amazing things about her family simply by going to the grocery store. Her daughter had been married four times by the end of the presidential race, all to boys she had never met. And her father-in-law had been confirmed by top-secret reports to be an alien. I found her to be charming and sincere, and surprisingly motherly/grandmotherly. She seemed like the kind of person I would like to have over for cookies on my back patio.
