Bush: White House pressure made marriage stronger

BENTON HARBOR, Michigan (CNN) -- Former President Bush said that if Laura Bush hadn't been his wife, he isn't sure he could have counted on her vote.

"I can promise you that her life dream when she was growing up was not to be first lady of the United States," he told a Michigan audience in one of his first major domestic speeches since leaving the White House.

"Frankly, I am not so sure that if we hadn't married, she'd have voted for me," he joked of his wife, who was raised in a Democratic family.

The high-tension atmosphere of the presidency strengthened his marriage, Bush said.

"There's a lot of pressure in the White House, as I'm sure you can imagine. Pressure sometimes can make a marriage stronger or weaker. In my case because of her patience and her enthusiasm, it made our marriage a really good marriage," Bush said.

The pressure of the presidency, he said, weighs most on family members.

2. Deeeeeeeeep............
That's so fuckin' deep. Who would have thought that being the wife of the President of the United States - especially if he's a dry drunk with half a brain and absolutely no skills at all - would be stressful?

Not I. I always figured it just meant the wife transferred her bon-bon eating to a new location........................

5. it occurred to me when reading this story
that states that Laura's family was Democratic, how embarrassed they must have been for eight years.

Truly--enough to make one want to crawl in a cave.
