Bush twins offer advice to Sasha and Malia
The Bush twins, Barbara Bush and Jenna Hager, wrote an open letter last week to Sasha and Malia Obama about growing up in the White House. It was published in the Wall Street Journal, and NBC had them read it and produced this piece.
It’s hard not to be moved, no matter what your feelings about W as a president. It’s remarkable, and I think refreshing, to know that there is always a space inside a family that remains unknown to the outside world. Bush’s daughters remind us of this.

Comments
The young Bush women are a class act, full of a special kind of hard-earned wisdom. (Rememeber one of the girls sticking out her tongue while riding in the Presidential Car with her parents!) Sasha and Malia will do well to read and re-read this letter over the next four years. I think it will be on of their toe-holds on some sense of normalcy.
