We have a GMA (Good morning America) exclusive of former First Lady Laura Bush. We caught up with Mrs. Bush in a new hometown of Dallas, Taxes for a look at life 5 months after leaving the White House. We talked about a whole host of issues, including her new mission and the latest comments from the former Vice2 President about the current Administration where her husband has chosen to remain silent.

former first lady 前第一夫人

He does not want to speak about the current Administration. He didn't appreciate and he did not want that… When he was in the office, 'coz he understands how difficult it is. But others have been extremely vocal3. His, his Vice President. (Are you trying to name one?) No, his Vice President Dick Cheney has been extremely vocal and, and, and in criticizing the current Administration. Do you, do you agree it all with what he's saying or how is he going about it?

Vice President 副总统

Well, I mean, I think that’s his right. As a citizen of the U.S., and I think he also feels obligated, and so, you know, I understand why he was to speak out. On the other hand, George feels like as a former president, that he owes President Obama his silence on issues, then there's no reason to second-guess in the decisions that he makes. And you're right, George is very gracious. And that's one of the reasons I’ve loved him so much. And I think people are saying that about him.

You both are proud Republicans (That's right.) You have done a lot of great work for your Party. There's been a lot of in-fighting. As you know, do you all ever discuss, what's going on in your party?

We do a lot. We talk about it a lot. We look at it in sort of the long historical view, not that long of a view, I guess. It comes and goes in cycles, since everybody knows you'll have an election where a whole lot of one party wins. And then a couple of years of terms later, you'll have another election where everybody else on the other side wins. So that's what I think this is. I think it's just a, a very typical political cycle and we'll see what happens at the mid1 terms, and... ...

But what about the in-fighting within the party?

Well, I think that's also probably not that bad. It's like creative tension within a party for people to talk about what it is, they, how they wanna be represented, And that's one of the great things about the United States of America. And that is we can discuss every side of an issue, and I think that's important.

A lot of people were pleased with President Obama and that all of his nominees5 that he was considering for the Supreme6 Court were women, all of his top candidates were women. And with Sonia Sotomayor, that people are very excited, of course, a Hispanic community. (… community as well) Well, what were you thoughts when you saw that he…

Well, I think that, I think she sounds like a very interesting and good nominee4, with a, you know, as a woman, I'm proud that there might be another woman on the course, court and then so we'll see what happens, but I wish her well.
