people.com:

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.

The hatred towards our President is ruthless, not sure why people are not happy that we have a Saddam Hussein free Middle East.

[LITU]

When you've been around long enough to think beyond one dimension, then your viewpoint will hold some weight.

For your information, Hussein was a stabilizing factor in the M.E. If we talk in terms of deaths and displacement, I'm afraid your hero, Bush, comes up the loser.

[wadenelson1]

Let he whose wife and kids were "collateral damage" throw the first pair of shoes.

[BBackSoon]

Well I know I feel safer now that Saddam is dead.

Please read my jesting tone.

[spandautoseattle]

1.200.000 de@d Ir@qi's (according to L@ncet) later this is quite a question to ask.

[JulieSA]

That has been debunked over and over.

[separatingwheatfromchaff]

They're not happy because we have a Saddam Hussein type in the White House.

[bby328]

well, for the rest of their lives, they will continue to insist that their dad is not the worst.

[VOTER]

However, they will have to face the truth and judgment of the world, no
matter how hard they try not to do so.

The Nixon daughters had to do the same.
After the release of the most recent Nixon tapes, I thought about
his grandchildren, now young adults, hearing Nixon's evilness, in his own voice.
Yes, the Bush daughters and their children will have to face up to
Bush being the Worst President in our Country's history.

The Nixon Daughters and their Children are relieved Nixon now comes in as #2.

[watchingthings]

Yes, they probably had a long talk with daddy and are convinced that daddy is right and the whole world is wrong.

[cubanlib]

What are these girls talking about? the dems treated him TOO well. After 911 the country and the dems supported him, blindly even. He took advantage of us, he lied to us. We were too nice to him. It was the people who were naive about this man.

[hortonhearsawho2]

Los Doce Boobs.

[JimGroom]

Hey girls, the problem with the country is that there were far too many voters who were naive about just what your father was going to do to the country. Perhaps you two little girls should wake up and smell the odor coming from the oval office. Welcome to Bush's America ladies!

[AliMB]

I was actually waiting for someone to post the first "lets throw shoes at the Bush twins" comment. On a side note, i think whatever your feelings about bush, this thread is becoming crass (and thats an objective analysis). Someone posted that the Bush Twins were equal to Uday and Qusay, the Saddam Sons. I posted a reply regarding this, and mysteriously both comments disappeared.

[LITU]

That's because you're a delusional enabler. These daughters don't want to come under fire? Don't join in the fray.

[JulieSA]

It's delusional to compare the twins to Uday and Qusay. It's also nasty and bizarre to do that. Only someone consumed and blinded by hatred would be stupid enough to make that comparison.

What "fray" have they joined? They've never engaged on policy discussions or gotten involved in politics. In eight years when Malia is an adult, do you really think she should be considered fair game for any outrageous slander just for being a president's daughter? Because that's the kind of behavior you're excusing. I would never do that though, because I think it's evil and, unlike you, I have standards. i stood up for Chelsea Clinton when people made fun of her when she was a kid.

[JulieSA]

What "fray" did they join? Will Malia be fair game for slander if she talks about her dad?

[rabiddog6708]

What a messed up family....­..I shudder at the thought of those two bringing little Dubyas into the world.

[TXfemmom]

These twp young women are as clueless as their father.

[Sylmason]

That's it gin and tonic. I'm throwing my shoes.

[panurse]

duh!! It's in the DNA

[Nicolaus]

I hope the daughters of the President do not launch an attack on 80% of the American people. If they do they would become a target just as their father is, but this time, they would have only themselves to blame.

[Birdman]

Oh booo hooo you father was treated like that because in his words he said to everyone in the world BRING IT ON. He insulted people who served their country with Honor both by saying if they disagreed with him they were terrorists, and he refused to attend a SINGLE funeral of any soldier he was responsible for sending to war, so you will excuse me if I do not give one hang about how your POOR daddy feels.

[VungTauVet]

Those poor girls haven't had a home-cooked meal since they were 13 according to their Mom. That includes birthdays, holidays and hey, stop over on Sunday for dinner. Sso much for being the 'first family'.

[JulieSA]

So you're saying: Laura, get in the kitchen, woman!

Good heavens what a sexist you are.

[VungTauVet]

No dearrie, I din't name a cook. It's just the party of family values.

[bostongreen]

You're just pulling implications out of thin air. Get a brain and try again.

[bostongreen]

Nice strawman.

[PDXTransplant]

Well this such proves that the Bushes do live under a rock...the whole flippin family. The river of Denial runs right straight through it too.

[txgal44]

Really. What did you expect them to say?

[AliMB]

exactly, that is my point... im reading all these comment on these girls are stupid because they can't figure why everybody hates Bush. But obviously it is a disengenious answer... they know exactly why their father is controveri­sal... they are just defending their father in front of media outlets. that is normal.

[Bitsko]

Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dumber.

[peterg76]

Another problem that impeachment would have solved.

[SantaFeStars]

Ahh, the Bushes cannot leave soon enough!
