Laura bush, what was your initial reaction the first time your husband said, i think im going to run for president . I cant really remember exactly what my initial reaction was. I think it was a little bit slower than just all of a sudden saying im going to run for president. He was governor. He had been governor roy interim and reelected and slowly i think we just both started talking about it. He talked about it and of course other people were talking to him about it and i knew what it was like. Now, i knew already what it will be like this. And it wouldnt be like to live in the white house. George and i had an advantage that so far only one other family has said before, John Quincy Adams family. We had visited very often. We moved to washington back in 1986, or 87, rather, to work on president bushs campaign. And so i saw them when they were campaigning nationwide, and they still have time to babysit Barbara Angela on a saturday night when george and i would want to go out to dinner
