When Laura Bush became first lady four years ago she didn't know just how powerful her position in the White House would be.
"It took me a while to really realize what podium I had, as Lady Bird Johnson says," Mrs. Bush said, recalling the reaction from women nationwide after she made her first radio address about the women of Afghanistan. "And, I think, you know, you kind of hear and certainly you watch your whole life — I certainly had a very close view of the role of the women in the White House, but it really takes a while to actually realize what a forum I have. It took me a while to realize it."

She is "Super First Lady" and I got to shake her hand the other day after I took this picture at J.E.B. Stuart HS in Falls Church, VA.

You just love her for her grace and admire the President even more as a man.
My wife has a very similar grace (con un sabor Latina.) I count my blessings every single day.

?When Laura Bush became first lady four years ago she didn't know just how powerful her position in the White House would be.As usual, the Media is putting words in someone else's mouth.
Whereas a certain other first laydy saw and used that power for her own ends, Laura Bush the responsbility for doing the proper thing, and will use the 'showcase' to further humane causes.
The cause she spoke of is a very unique and interesting one.
Something I think none of the media could ever predict.

Yes. She is a true lady, in every respect. When she speaks, her voice puts one at ease.
From what I understand, her and George's relationship was love at first sight. (which I think means they both 'knew', when they met)
