Our political Quote of the Day comes from former First Lady Barbara Bush on the elections and working with President Barack Obama:
“I’m tired now of the elections,” the wife of former President George H.W. Bush said at an event at Lyndon Johnson’s presidential library, according to Reuters. “People spoke. Move on, get on with it. I want to do other things and not to be ugly.”
Barbara Bush also weighed in firmly on the side of working with President Barack Obama: “They are going to have to compromise. It’s not a dirty word.”
May I use the word I don’t always use?
Ditto.
