The Times: Rebel daughters are worthy opponents of President Bush

Maybe all over the world, George Bush has an image of a hard person, but it seems that in the war with small terrorists at home he was defeated, the British The Times writes today, the article published by Inopressa .

The author of the book “Perfect Wife” by Anne Gerhart, a journalist who led the gossip column in The Washington Post, claims that Laura Bush seeks to give his children the opportunity to lead a normal life and does not require behavior corresponding to the noticeable public position of the family.

The biography says that Laura Bush is indulging in the rebellious daughter-dwarf daughters, and President Bush failed to succeed in the fight against their unbridled behavior, with the exception of the case when, at his insistence, they received one car for two, and not by car each.

At key points, the intervention of grandfather and grandfather, the first President Bush and his wife Barbara were required. The girls stooped terribly during the ceremony of taking their father of the oath, and the grandmother had to poke their backs in their backs so that they stood straight.

“These girls enjoy all the advantages of their situation, but it does not oblige them to anything,” Gerhart writes. “These are rich girls endowed with intellect, external attractiveness, having loving parents, unlimited possibilities, free from many everyday problems and still persistently wanting to consider themselves the victims of daddy work.”

The blonde Jenna is unbridled, "to dad." But the thoughtful brunette Barbara sometimes behaves more wildly, says Gerhart.

The sisters are now 22 years old, they graduate from universities and think about the teacher's career in schools of large cities as part of the Teaching for America project - their mother’s beloved brainchild.

Unlike the positive Chelsea Clinton, they rarely show interest in public events and are not often happening to their parents in the White House. Accompanying the first lady on her first solo trip abroad, Jenna brought her mother to be confused, appearing in public in a black T -shirt and tattered velvet jeans, which, dangling on their hips, put up the stomach for public review.

The sisters can be seen in the company of Sean "Diddy" a combination in Saint-Trope, the designer of Zen posen in New York and the movie star of Aston Kutcher in Hollywood. They consider their guards “enemies” and treat them as drivers, a messenger and vamps.

There was a case, a month after her father became president when Jenna used her guard to get a Texas friend arrested for drunkenness before reaching his age.

Barbara and her university friends slipped away from the guards on the way to the fight in the fight in New York.

According to Gerkhart, Laura does not want to put pressure on his daughters with the expectations that the family connects with them, believing that her husband got rid of this burden by only 40 years. When he decided to begin a political career, her position was expressed by the words "the girls did not ask for it."

“There are many such things that Bush are not asking for their daughters,” Gerhart writes. “Jenna and Barbara are not asking to participate in the election campaign. They are not asked to introduce their teenage riot in the framework. They are not asked to show at least a formal interest in the problems that have an impact on the world that will have to be inherited by their generation.

They are not asked to show sympathy for the struggle and duties of the father and mother. They are also not asked to respect his sense of duty in relation to those who do not belong to their family.

They are not asked to respect the guards, men and women who literally substitute themselves for bullets for these girls.

They are not often asked to appear in the White House. They are not asked to do anything that is accepted in their position, which their father considers to do, and before that they were observed by their grandfather. "

Despite the desire of Bush to protect their daughters from close attention, the names of the girls quickly appeared in newspaper headlines, when three months after their father entered the post, Jennu, who did not reach adulthood, was noticed in the Cheers Shot bar in Texas, where they served “Oil chest” and “Screaming orgasm”. The trial, where she appeared in a sleeveless black T -shirt, pink trousers “Capri” and sandals that allowed to see a ring on her finger, sentenced her to eight hours of public work and attend lectures about the dangers of alcohol.

After only two weeks, the sisters were detained in the Chuy's bar. As the police protocol appears, Jenna said: "I do not understand how you can be a student and not be able to do what others do."

This time, to work eight hours on public work and attended lectures Barbara. Jennu was fined $ 600, deprived of a driver’s license for a month and sentenced to longer public work. But true sanctions were waiting for them at home when they were called to the family council, in which parents, grandparents participated. Grandpa and grandfather were very upset because of the behavior of the sisters and because of his lighting in the media, Gerhart writes.

On November 25, 2002, when the sisters were 21 years old, they breathed a sigh of relief in the White House. Laura arranged for them a large costume evening on a family ranch in Texas. Jenna also insisted at a celebration at the Cheers Shot bar - on the site of her first crime.

Bushi often indicates that they put their daughters in an awkward position. The girls refused to sit with them at school baseball matches, often ridiculed the clothes, shoes and hair of the mother, "as hard as a hurricane raised them on end."

But Laura seems to understand the relationship between his rebellious daughters. She once noticed that they "as if allow each other to behave badly."
