I found interesting her point about the impact on her girls of the political rhetoric from those who oppose her husband's policies/positions.

Funny, she and her husband didn't seem too worried about the impact on the Bush girls as the dems bashed Obama's predecessor incessantly during the last 8 years?

To be fair, she specifically brought up the rhetoric that suggested Obama was a Kenyan Muslim, and not the rhetoric that suggested his policies were bad.

"... how we urge them to ignore those who question their father's citizenship or faith."

Maybe I didn't follow politics as closely back during the W days, but I don't remember W being raked over the coals by politicos and talking heads for his citizenship or religion.

How about accusations of "war crimes"? I can't imagine those were too pleasant for Bush's daughters to hear.
