YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former First Lady Barbara Bush talks the sorority of First Ladies in an exclusive interview with CSPAN for its First Ladies series. More information here

"Sort of. I think some are closer than others. Lady Bird is gone, Pat Nixon gone. Those were -- I was especially close to those ladies. And of course, Laura, there's no question was the greatest First Lady. But we're friends. I'm a great respecter of Mrs. Obama, Michelle Obama, and what she's doing. Obesity is a huge problem in our country, and she's working on it. And she's getting criticized for it, government shouldn't tell you what to eat. Well, somebody's got to tell these people what to eat. These children cannot be obese at a young age. It's just not healthy. It's cost the country. It's a horrible thing.

And we've got to make ourselves brighter, smarter, educated, and along with that, we've got to educate our people on what to eat. And she's growing vegetable gardens. And so I have respect for that."
