Barbara Bush may not agree with Bill Clinton’s political
views, but the former first lady says she has deep personal affection for the
former Democratic president. "I love Bill Clinton," she said
during a C-Span interview. "Maybe not his politics, but I love Bill
Clinton." She explained that she and her husband, former President George
H.W. Bush, have become close with Clinton as a result of their combined
charitable efforts, including fundraising campaigns after the Indian Ocean
tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the devastating earthquake in Haiti. "Bill
visits us every summer," Mrs. Bush said. "We don’t agree politically,
but we don't talk politics." She added that her husband has become
something of a father figure to the 42nd president, whose father was killed in
a car accident sixty-eight years ago. Further proof, if we needed any, that it’s
possible to disagree with someone without being disagreeable.
