Bush Daughters: We're Ready for Dad to Return to Texas

[CatWoman]

um, you two are NOT alone..........

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.

Jenna and Barbara, how have you seen your parents change over the last eight years?

Jenna: Eight years ago, my dad was a very popular Texas governor. And I think in Texas, he was able to get a lot done because he was friends with Democrats and Republicans – Democrats supported him. So he was – we were very optimistic. I think maybe I was a little naive about how people would treat him. But he's never wavered in his decisions and he's the same as he was when we were little, his ethics. So that's something to be proud of in itself.

Barbara: And I would say we haven't see our parents as people change that much, because they've stayed the same to us and they've, as Jenna said, have the same characteristics and ethics that they had all their life.

Jenna: He looks a little bit older, obviously. He's been under a lot of stress, so we're ready for him to go back to Texas and be warmly received, I'm sure.

4. Earth to Jenna: He won't be

>so we're ready for him to go back to Texas and be warmly received, I'm sure.

This just proves to me that Jenna and her sister either don't know or don't care how their father is viewed by eighty percent of the country, and the vast majority of the world and its leaders.

5. Been ready for years.

6. I'm ready for him to leave Washington!

But it saddens me that he's coming back to my home state!

I beg to differ with the daughter's comment about him being a 'very popular Texas governor'.

He became the governor of Texas the same way he became the President of the United States and it was not because of his popularity.

17. Jenna shouldn't hold out hope he'll be warmly received here in Texas.

We're just as sick and disgusted with him as the rest of the country. They are delusional.
