so i don't ever remember anybody arguing about laura bush decision of whether to be the mom in chief. we didn't actually, when when i say we i mean me. we didn't actually care about laura bush.s a librar [laughter] she seemed like an nice person and she was a librarian but id think these stand for social change and that's what made it so hard for michelle obama. >> i think that's right because she felt that on this would not come as a surprise to any prominent african-american womao either that you are meant too represent. that is one of the great challenges but it is a role that she has really thrown herself into. when one thinks of her legacy think it will be about her message. about what she what she has tried to do in terms of inequality in the stacked deck. i think it will be about how she got that message out. she flew groups on the white house lawn, she does every kind of social media there is. i think it i think it will be a while before first lady feel feeds kale chips to someone dressed in drag on late-night television. she will say i will make a fool of myself to get the me

. >> so you actually say that michelle obama is closer to laura bush than hillary clinton as a firstnd that's interesting. >> in what ways? >> neither one is particularly political. michelle obama doesn't like campaigning, she doesn't like the phoniness of washington and someone like hillary clinton kind of obviously has embraced that. she is so different from obviously all the other first ladies, the only one to run for office. >> michelle obama was over it before it even began. >> absolutely. >> shy did not want to change for washington. >> she's cool. >> she definitely didn't want to lose her identity. >> yeah. >> and get sort of swept into it all. >> and you did get a sense from both laura bush and from michelle obama if their husbands had decided to do something else they would have been perfectly fine with that. >> yeah, absolutely. absolutely. >> probably better with that. >> yeah. yeah. i mean, laura bush was great, she defended michelle obama when she came out in 2008 and said that, you know, for the first time i'm proud of my country and laura bush came out in an interview

laura bush making comments about a woman president. it's starting to get back to that we are ready for a womb in the white house. >> where is carly fiorina when you need her. it's whatever the popular vote decides. as republicans we don't have super delegates. so we'll let the public decide. charles: sometimes the public is swayed by this. it's time for a woman. that resonates with a fair amount of devoted public. >> i'm sure it does but i hope people pay attention to the messages and the values and issues the candidates are standing on, and they make sure they look past the surface arguments to greater details. charles: joe biden always has gaffes. i wanted to go to an article you wrote today, kelly. you wrote that the vitriol toward donald trump makes it easier for hillary clinton to make it into the white house. do you want to explain further? >> this never trump movement is so counter productive. you have radio talk show hosts come out and say he could never vote for donald trump and urging his listeners not to do so to protect con

. >> author kate brower reports that michelle obama is closer to laura bush than hillary clinton.oesn't relish being first lady. >> it's something that i think people don't understand about michelle obama is she really doesn't like being in the white house and hillary clinton loves it and can't waiting to back. >> her own transition eased by former first lady jackie kennedy. >> jackie told her do not let the white house staff spoil your children. they will do anything for them. chelsea had a bunch of friends over at the white house movie theater and there was popcorn everywhere and hillary said clean up every last kernel and that was kind of summoning jackie kennedy. >> if she taught us anything it was to know the meaning of responsibility. >> she was almost brought to tears talking about this friendship. she really admired the kennedys and jackie especially. >> but clinton does regret being the first first lady to move her office close to the president. >> i thought it was fascinating that she was very regretful about being the west wing office and she blamed herself in part for

you arrive in washington, you are not the one summoned to washington laura bush and others, if you become first lady on the vote of one man one vote, michelle, you arrive you have no armies to command, no salary and people willing to her 0 from absolutely all directions, michelle obama was no exception. she had to reinvent herself, gave up her 20 year career, gave up the power if you want to use the word she had come in chicago, to recreate it in a way that was meaningful to her and it wasn't easy, under those circumstances. what she figured out was one of her forms of power was her voice. she delivered messages and needed to figure out what would those messages be, what was it that would matter? what would move the needle was the phrase used, she turned to themes that animated her ever since she was young, theme is of inequality, seems connected to young people and mentoring and she found that voice and i do argue in the book, she found it at the school in north london where she recognized that the power of her own trajectory was one of the strongest cards she had to play. >> we have a s

i left the white house and i was called upon to work on doing publicity for karl rove's book laura bush's book and i got a call from 43 and he asked if i could help him with a public tour. and worked with charles krauthammer. i was an editorial director on that book and i liked being behind the scenes. i never thought of writing by own book although every press secretary thinks about all of the experiences they have and want to tell the stories. i remember on a train between washington, d.c. and new york where wrote downtown if i wrote a book what would it look like and at the top in block letters it said not political because i didn't want to write a book like that. the guy who edits president bush keep him in mind. he knew me and asked if i had a book. and he said what about your stories and he said you tell great stories about president bush. and i remembered i took the from the amtrak train and it was in my wallet for three years. all of a sudden i pulled it out and said i have do this. this is my book proposal a. ripped up piece of paper folded in my wallet for three years. sean look

white house when she had her office in the west wing which she later regretted having and told laura bushad. we don't allow the first lady to take serious policy positions. i thought it was interesting in "house of cards" when claire takes up gun control, that's not something you would see a first lady do. what you hear from melania about being a mother reminds me a lot of michelle obama and this mom in chief idea and americans like that idea. i think melania would be more like jackie kennedy in a lot of ways, too, it will be about glamour if donald trump is elected, and she sees herself in that kind of model, the jackie kennedy, raising her son baron is important to her. heidi cruz is interesting, she had a huge career before she gave it up and started to work on her husband's campaign. i think she might be a little more like a hillary clinton, but none of these women will take it as far as hillary did, because that hurt her and let to the '94 mid term election loss for democrats in the house. so it was something she later regretted. i don't think we will see any of these women take up s

i interviewed some people around laura bush.hey were surprised when laura bush's east wing aides came in with michelle obama's east wing aides. they were surprised that michelle didn't adopt this program that hillary clinton had been so proud of as first lady. they thought surely since hillary is going to be in obama's cab nettinet that she w have adopted this historic preservation. she didn't feel the obligation to continue the program. 2008 was tense. michelle is not a politician. and she doesn't like sort of washington, you know, the game of politics. >> you talk about in the book that the first wives, they're the ones that are the grudge holders. what do you mean by that? >> there are tense relationships. there's a chapter called "bad blood." barbara bush hasn't forgiven hillary clinton for what hillary clinton said in a "vanity fair" story implying that george h.w. bush had an affair. you know, barbara -- they are the grudge-holders again and again. pat nixon was so upset that when richard nixon lost in 1960 to jfk, she wan

. >> do you see yourself more of a first lady like laura bush or more like hillary clinton? >> you know, i try to stay away from those comparisons. >> reporter: according to the book mrs. obama never forgave ms. clinton for the way she mocked her husband during the 2008 campaign. will come down, celestial choirs will be singing. >> reporter: there is a reason why there were no couples dinners when hillary was a frequent guest at the obama white house, the book insists. and while michelle obama has said america is ready for a woman president -- >> i have no doubt that we will see a woman in the oval office very soon. >> reporter: the book claims she actually wanted joe biden to run in 2016. one former adviser tells the author mrs. obama's not wild about either clinton saying, quote, i don't want to say she's looking down her nose at them but she kind of is. stephen colbert asked her what advice she might give the possible future first gentleman. >> i would say follow your passion. just be you. >> i think he does. >> i think he would. >> in that interview mrs. obama said she i

i was told that laura bush and michelle obama have a closer relationship than michelle obama has withn't thinkhat's something that the white house would want to publicly admit to so i'm not surprised by that. >> in terms of the sisterhood and the stories, you were talking about letters. >> the chief usher at the time who was friends with a lot of first ladies, pat nixon was very sick with lung cancer and so it was her 81st birthday. he went to every former first lady, including hillary clinton, this was in the '90s, and asked them to write a letter to pat and just tell her what she had meant to them. and so i read through these wonderful letters that barbara bush said you don't get credit for all you did in the white house. and if history is any judge, you will be remembered fondly and we love you. it was just a really moving thing. hillary clinton said some glowing things to pat nixon that i think shows this crosses party lines. and hillary clinton has really defended pat nixon in the white house and said, you know, you don't know to one of her aides who was being critical of pat nix

obama is closer to laura bush than hillary clinton, doesn't relish being first lady. >> michelle obama in the white house and hillary clinton can't wait to go back. >> reporter: jackie kennedy. >> jackie told her, don't let the white house staff spoil your children. they'll do anything for them. chelsea had a bunch of friends over and there was popcorn everywhere. hillary said, clean up every kernel. that was summoning jackie kennedy. >> if she taught us anything, it was to know the meaning of responsibility. >> she was almost brought to tears talking about the friendship. she admires jackie, especially. >> reporter: clinton would be the first first lady to move her office to the president. >> she was regretful with the west wing office and blamed herself, in part, for the 1994 mid-term election. >> stun ning amount of republicn wins. >> thinking she'd gone too far and >> with health care. >> health care. >> reporter: if elected, the first first man. >> what do you do with a former president? >> i think he'll go out of town a lot. he's a good negotiator. >> reporter: she writes, there

enduring relationship they had over time and just amazing things that you wouldn't think of like laura bushout to michelle obama when she showed up at the white house for the tour, she brought an aide, an assistant which is a faux pas. she said this is a private tour, just for me and you. it was very sweet. she kind of took michelle under her wing and showed her where her girls could have their bedrooms in the white house. it's really about this sisterhood. >> so michelle obama, hearing the stories that she doesn't want hillary clinton in the white house? talk to us about that. >> well, i think michelle obama and hillary clinton have a difficult relationship. after 2008, michelle obama found it hard to forgive hillary, and she finds -- i was told by several people that the obamas look at the clintons as the political dynasty, and she looks down her nose at hillary clinton. as someone who's always striving and very ambitious. >> jill biden recently said that joe biden would make a good president. she's the first lady for the vice president. what do you make of that? of that as role as well.

you know, that's why it was so interesting in 2005 when laura bush came out and made a joke about being desperate house wife and she and lynn cheney would watch desperate house wives when the president was asleep. i don't know if michelle obama will choose to do that. she has a great sense of humor friends say. i think president obama will leave it on the field today. he has nothing to lose. he's going to just -- he's so witty naturally. so it will be really interesting to see how far he takeatis it. >> i interviewed larry will more and we'll show that interview. he said the hardest part of the night will be sitting up there next to michelle obama the whole time before he's about to deliver his comedy routine. >> from what i hear, it's the hardest gig to book in the correspondents association because the comedian has to go on after the president. it's, you know, the president has you just said, he is -- if the president thing didn't work out for him he could have been a comedian. he's got a great sense of set up. punch line. and it's fun to watch the president doing jokes. i think the p

laura bush came through. >> this is the great thing about the bush's i learned is that is you do things that are right and you don't worry about the credit. 43 told me toward the end of the administration every reported wanted to ask him about his legacy and i would have to ask him and he would say dana, last year i read through three books about george washington and if historians are trying to figure out it the first president than the 43 doesn't have anything to worry about. they left the white house believing they gave it their all and continue to do so much in texas as well. >> indeed. >> thank you. hi. >> i want to start out saying how much i respect you and think you are wonderful. >> thank you. >> what i wanted to say in this primary season a big issue is terrorism and you know donald trump and muslims and all of that. my brother just joined the marines and nothing makes me angrier than seeing our troops, you know, in iran and the whole thing about the video and them having their hands behind their back that makes me angry. i hate terrorist. i sound like a heartless conservative
