Political Quotes

“Last night was a sad day for America. Today, our Nation mourns the passing of a beloved American; a bold advocate for family, for literacy; and a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, First Lady Barbara Bush. Mrs. Bush has brought dignity, civility, and spirit to everything she did. Her strength--of character, of her principles, of her faith--are a great gift to our Nation. Barbara Bush was a woman of exceptional grace, with an unmatched spirit--again, that spirit--and talent and skill for bringing people together. She was not only respected, but adored by so many across our Nation. Barbara Bush leaves a living legacy in the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy and the deep spirit of volunteerism she championed on behalf of children and families. All who knew Mrs. Bush saw her immense love and pride in her family. She was a beloved matriarch for her family and a matriarch for America, and she always put family first. We hope that it is a comfort to President Bush--73 years of marriage, wow--former President George Herbert Walker Bush, that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your children, including President George W. Bush. She was the only woman in America, apart from Abigail Adams, who was the wife and mother of a President. Our prayers are with her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren, whom she loved, and the entire Bush family.…”
