Whoa - hold on to your hats, folks - this is the BIG one, methinks...
President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush gushed about Hillary Rodham Clinton's experience yesterday - saying she could handle the immense challenges of the presidency better than any other Democrat.
When the most powerful man in the world talks, people listen...
The Republican president, in an interview with ABC News, said, "There is no question that Sen. Clinton understands pressure better than any of the candidates, you know, in the race."
President Bush thinks Hillary can do the Klieg Light thing...
Bush called Clinton a "very formidable candidate" who he said understands the "klieg lights" that go with presidential politics.
but! don't think that this is an out-and-out endorsement, oh, noez!
But, he said, "I do believe our candidate will beat her, if she happens to be the nominee."
so...what did he have to say about Mrs. Clinton's main primary rival...?
Then, he turned around and slammed Clinton's rival, Barack Obama, for promoting the "odd foreign policy" of agreeing to meet with leaders of countries like Iran without preconditions.
"These candidates don't really understand is how complex the environment is inside the Oval Office," Bush said.
hmmm...
Laura chimed in with her unique First-Lady perspective:
Laura Bush, who participated in the interview, said Clinton's experience as first lady would be "very helpful" in the White House, adding, "You certainly know what it's like. You know the pressure there is, you know the difficulties."
And, there you have it!
