One of the daughters of former President George W. Bush isn't following the Republican Party line when it comes to the issue of the health care legislation that cleared Congress last spring without any GOP support.

In an interview on Fox News Sunday, Barbara Bush said she's "glad" Democrats passed the massive spending measure and President Barack Obama signed it into law.

"Why do, basically, people with money have good health care and why do people who live on lower salaries not have good health care?" the 28-year old said.

"Health should be a right for everyone." Asked specifically what she though about the president's health care initiative, Bush replied with a smile, "That is a good question - obviously the health care reform bill was highly debated by a lot of people and I guess I'm glad the bill was passed."

“It does honestly say something about her parents.”

No it doesn’t. My kids are the same - but I’m starting to sense a shift as they get older. It’s going to take a while though.

Where do we get these people????

From our elite universities!

[xsmommy]

are you kidding? OUR kids in their twenties should have been raised properly by US, and taught to think for themselves so as to avoid brainwashing! i have 3 kids- 21, 19 and 16. They can detect a liberal professor/teacher within one class period and can argue their conservative points of view effectivly in papers and in clas. To say that there is NO HOPE for OUR KIDS in their twenties is to abdicate OUR responsibility and i can’t believe a conservative would say/do such a thing.
I saw the Barbara Bush interview and she is her mother’s daughter. Laura Bush couldn’t wait to get out there and let everyone know where she disagreed with W on politics and i think a whole lot less of her because of it.

Good grief!!!! I wish these Bush people would just go the hell away!

Those born with a silver spoon in their mouths tend to care less what other have in their mouths, if anything.

[GlockThe Vote]

Why? The Bush family absolutely stinks. Every last one of them.

[jazzlite]

I’m talking about Patti and Ron..Not, Maureen and Michael.

[lone star annie]

You will get no argument out of me on that one. I don’t ever want to see or hear from that bunch again. This family is nothing but the Kennedys with morals. They are Northeast elitest snobs who look down on the middle class like the rest of them.

By sticking up for the poor it takes care of their guilt for being rich and living large generation after generation.

ditz is right

[afraidfortherepublic]

Does this woman have a job yet?

[GlockThe Vote]

I remember the threads over hear as a lurker to this site worshipping that disgusting family and people posting the most sycophatic pictures of them. Awful!

Does anyone realyl believe there is more than 5 degress of difference between clinton bush obama anymore?

Please, I’m begging you, please tell me that this dunce hasn’t procreated. I just couldn’t bear the thought!

When I was a child, I spoke like a child

Good Grief. Shall I list all the stupid things I said and done when I was in my early 20s? I remember after John Lennon was shot vowing to name my first born daughter, Strawberry Fields. How a decade or two of maturity changes ones way of thinking.

[Trust but Verify]

I respectfully disagree with you. You talk about raising your kids to not be brainwashed by liberals, but you don't see that if you raise them to think exactly like you that is somehow not brainwashing them?

Our kids were raised in a very conservative household. One of them remains a conservative while the other has gone over to the other side. FOR NOW. I think he just tries to hold contrarian views because he knows he can get under our skin.

[The Comedian]

Why do these people lie and present themselves as something they are not?

Because if they were honest, they'd be:

1) Ridiculed

2) Ignored

3) Arrested

4) Executed

It's more rewarding pretending to be an angel of light...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Indeed, it seems pretty hopeless. Have you been to a mall bookstore lately? Everything’s about the dead and the undead (vampires, zombies, etc.) Depravity is the rule. And the YA section contains some of the worst.

Fair enough,sweetie.If in a few years you find that you need a heart operation you can wait six months just like they do in Canada today and just like *we* will by then.Oh,wait....you mean that you,the daughter of a former President,will never have to wait five minutes for *anything*? Not for a heart operation....to see a cancer specialist....for a hip replacement....to get that new and expensive life saving drug?

Gee,what a surprise she supports HusseinCare.She'll never be harmed by it...like we,the great unwashed,will.

[jpsb]

The Bush’s are NOT conservative. How much more proof do people need? No more Bushes!

[twigs]

I agree with you. I saw the interview and I believe this is truly her conviction. It began with seeing a poor child in Africa near death. Many times, being a rich kid protects young people from “real world” experiences and leaves them unprepared for what they see. Barbara is an articulate and intelligent young woman, although I think she’s very wrong about health care. She is also a lot more articulate and thoughtful than Megan McCain who just seems to react when asked questions. Children are absolutely not clones of their parents. Mine certainly isn’t. Sometimes I think that’s good, although not always!
