After eight years in the White House, President Bush's twin daughters are looking forward to a respite from Washington -- if only for their father's sake.

In a PEOPLE interview, Jenna Hager and Barbara Bush, both 27, reflect on the strain George W. Bush has been under. The twins also offer some advice to the Obamas' daughters, Sasha and Malia, and Jenna's new husband Henry Hager talks about bonding with the First Father-in-Law.

These young ladies speak only what they know and that isn't much. They live in a world that knows nothing about the TRUTH of existence. They are as cold as ice and could care less about the American people because they feel more superior and above the peons. They will never experience anything we have experienced and whatever they have to say is so pathetically unreal.

I don't think the girls should be attacked since it's not their fault that they were born into that family. I don't agree with attacking the kids. Even when they were drunk little college girls, I didn't think they deserved to get attacked because they were just being kids like the rest of us.
However, these girls are now adults (unlike Sasha and Malia) and they have enjoyed the privileges associated with having daddy as president. I highly doubt that it was that hard for the one who is a teacher to get hired considering that the board who interviewed her probably bent over backwards to hire her (just cuz!). She works in DC...but I'd like to know which school, because even in bad neighborhoods you can have good schools. I know that from experience. So let's be real... I'm sure that there was careful consideration given to which school she would work in.
Also, the other sister who works for the Smithsonian. Well, that's quite dandy, isn't it? The Smithsonian, holy cow! So let's be realistic.­..they are where they are because they have connections and that is not typical to the average American.
Although I don't think or at least know of anything they've personally done to bring such hate upon them, that they have led privileged lives that cannot be easily equated with the rest of 20's struggling to make a place in the world.

It is not their fault they were born in the Bush family.

It IS their fault that they are useless human beings.

They were raised to look down the slope of their noses at all the little people. It's what aristocrats do.

Jenna Bush: I Was A Little Naive About How People Would Treat Our Father.

Contrast that with the number of people naive enough to elect him to office the first time, and dumb enough to reelect him a second time.

America DIDN'T "reelect" B.ush, any more than they e-lected him the first time. The 20 04 elec tion was sto.len through cy.ber-rig­g.ing by Ro-ve and his cro.nies. Now they have m urdered the most prominent (although reluctant) wit-ness against him, who on Nov. 3 was compelled to give a de.positio­n in the federal dis-trict court for the southern district of O.hio and yesterday was found de.ad after a mysterious "ac cident". See ht tp://www.v­elv etrevo-lution.us.

Sorry about the hiccups and random characters, but it seems cen.sorshi­p is alive and well in the U.S.

Let me explain it to you, young Bush-league ladies: You have led a sheltered, privileged life, kept away from negative PR about your family (come to think of it, so has your dad).

How does the real world feel? And I ain't talking no MTV show...

Jenna Bush is an elementary schoolteacher in the DC public school system. Most of her students are economically disadvantaged ethnic minorities.

Barbara Bush has been working for a Smithsonian museum in New York, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in their education program. Previously, she had been working with AIDS patients in Africa, in Tanzania, South Africa, and Botswana, among other places, through a program sponsored by the Houston-based Baylor College of Medicine's International Pediatrics AIDS Initiative.

Chelsea Clinton, whom I also admire, is a hedge fund manager.

What's with all the spaces in your postings Julie...di­d you have the hiccups last night?

Those of us here don't have anything against Bush's girls, but we loathe little Bushie with a burning anger at what he's done to this country.

Did Babs "work" with AIDS patients or did she hang her name on a program? Working means administering drugs and food and cleaning bed pans. Am I to believe the ex-First Lady actually hopped a charter to Tanzania and did laundry in a clinic? She wouldn't remember how.

My mother taught 1st to 3rd grade in a public system for 34 years. It's all politics. In all likelihood Jenna got the best 30 children in the school because her dad was the President. Also, "minority" and "underprivileged" doesn't equal dumb or preoccupied. The fact that you don't understand that tells me you've never had the pleasure.

All my comments on this have been cut, but here's another try: J.enna Bush is a tea cher in the D C public schoo l system.

Her si ster worked with H. IV patients all over Africa.

They've actually seen more "real life" than most affluent Americans have.

I'm all choked up with nostalgia, now. Reminds me of back in the 80s, in South Africa, hayday of Apartheid, PW Botha was president, and his daughter, Rozanne, tried her luck at a singing career. There was an interview with her on radio, and she was asked how it feels to live in her father's shadow. Rozanne answered, I kid you not "I don't live in my father's shadow, I walk in his light."

Never knew that about Botha's daughter, that's a very funny story! And how about that for 80s nostalgia: I'd forgotten all about old PW...
