Former First Lady Laura Bush made the best speech today.


But, no one described her. She was truly wonderful in the only way Laura Bush can be. She completely removed herself as the focus of the ceremony and honored the citizens of the USA. It was nice to hear. Her gracious humility speaks eons to how she served our country so well. I remember her best post Katrina. She harnessed the people of Texas to come to the rescue and then attended to the details. She is very nice lady and shared the spotlight today with some of the nicest people on this Earth, the American citizen. I thank her.
