It was actually a very good, very fair interview.

Former first lady Laura Bush has lamented excessive partisanship and defended President Barack Obama in an interview with CNN that will probably cause her to be labeled a RINO who just doesn’t get in some parts of the talk radio political culture.

In fact, in the interview she shows that she not only does get it but is quite astute politically about the trending in Washington. She also provides an insight into one of the factors that perhaps caused her husband to adopt his own criticized political style.

Here are the relevant parts of the wide-ranging interview:

Former first lady Laura Bush praised the performance of her husband’s successor Monday, breaking with many Republicans in telling CNN that she thinks President Obama is doing a good job under tough circumstance.

She also criticized Washington’s sharp political divide during an interview covering a range of topics….

The typically reserved former first lady defended Obama’s decision to deliver a back-to-school speech to students, putting her at odds with many conservatives afraid that the president will use the opportunity to advance his political agenda.

“I think he is [doing a good job],” Bush said when asked to assess Obama’s job performance. “I think he has got a lot on his plate, and he has tackled a lot to start with, and that has probably made it more difficult.”

Michelle Obama is also “doing great,” she said, in part by turning the White House into a comfortable home for her family.

Bush didn’t completely dismiss the concerns of some conservatives but noted that controversial Education Department plans recommending that students draft letters discussing what they can do to help Obama had been changed.

“I think there is a place for the president … to talk to schoolchildren and encourage” them, she said. Parents should follow his example and “encourage their own children to stay in school and to study hard and to try to achieve the dream that they have.”

Bush indicated that she didn’t think it was fair for Obama to be labeled a “socialist” by critics and expressed her disappointment with the intensely polarized nature of contemporary American politics.

Of course, the ignorant loons will suddenly disavow Laura. Me? I always thought she was a bit wishy-washy, but seems she found her voice now that her husband is out of the white house.

Laura Bush shows a generosity befitting of a former First Lady. She is a class act.

Always has been a class act!

Laura Bush has always been a class act.

Both she and her husband are gracious and humble people.

While a less than stellar president, that fact remains...

apparently, neither did you.

 

[VaYank5150]

apparently, neither did you.

So, assuming Laura Bush is a class act and would not lie, then can we all agree with her that Obama has done a good job considering the circumstances?

It depends on what she meant by "done a good job considering the circumstances".
In context, she was talking about dealing with partisanship.

we can all agree that that is her opinion.
we can also all agree that you attempted to use her remarks decrying overly partisan behavior to score points for your "side".

please wipe up the irony when you're done.
thanks.
