Watch American History tv this weekend on cspan3. Up next on American History tv on cspan3, an interview laura bush, what was your initial reaction the first time your husband said i think im going to run for president . Well, i cant really remember initially what my act reaction was. I think it was a bit slower than all of a sudden saying im going to run for president. He was governor and had been governor for one term and reelected and i slowly think we both started talking about it. He talked about it and of course other people were talking to him about it. I knew what it was like. I knew already what it would be like to run for president. I knew what it would be like to live in the white house. George and i had an advantage that only one other family has had so far, the John Quincy Adams family. Because wed seen somebody we loved in that office, and we visited him very often. We moved to washington in fact in 1987, rather, to work on president bushs campaign. And so i saw them then

Because wed seen somebody we loved in that office, and we visited him very often. We moved to washington in fact in 1987, rather, to work on president bushs campaign. And so i saw them then when they were campaigning nationwide, and they still had time to babysit barbara and jenna on a saturday night when george and i would want to go out to dinner. Really that year and a half we lived in washington until president bush was elected in november of 1988. It was a wonderful bonding time for our family. It was the only time i ever lived in the same town with my inlaws. And my motherinlaw and i really had a chance to bond. Our little girls had a chance to get to know their gra

Mr. Speaker, yesterday President Trump released the most reckless and heartless budget i have ever seen in my life. It slshes virtually every worthwhile program, programs that help the middle class, soonors, and veterans. But what i find particularly offensive and troubling, is his budget is a radical assault on People Living in poverty or on the edge. It cuts medicaid, housing assistance, Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. The trump budget also decimates the supplemental nutrition assistance program, known as snap, our nations first line of defense against hunger.
