DJ from Methuen:
Hey Barbara and Jenna! I'm a supporter of your Dad, and I frequently help
out at the New Hampshire state headquarters in Manchester. I was wondering
why you two have all of a sudden decided to come out and support your
Dad now. I completely support and applaud your decision to join him. Thanks
a lot for your attention!
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Hi, DJ -- thanks for helping out at the state headquarters. It means so
much to us to see people just as excited as we are to get our Dad reelected.
DJ, you wouldn't happen to be rich, would you? We've found that most of
our dad's supporters are pretty well off, which is good because poor people
can be annoying. Do you have a boat? We'd love to see your boat the next
time we're up in New Hampshire. Do you know any good bars in the area?
There are a few places up there we're not allowed to go back to, if you
know what we mean.
EF from Miami:
If you could only describe your father in one sentence, what would you
say?
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
One sentence...E, that is a hard one! Okay: Our dad has given us an amazing
life full of love and support and he never even batted an eye that time
we needed bail money down in Mexico. He was pretty cool about it. And
also, our dad knows where the WMDs are, but he's not going to say right
now because people are always saying he's being too political and stuff.
Oh, wait, that was totally more than one sentence. Sorry.
OL from San
Antonio:
Hi Barbara and Jenna! Are you guys currently working on anything to encourage
the younger voters to go out and vote for President Bush?
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Hey, O - thanks for writing us. We love Texas and we're sure you do, too.
Don't mess with Texas! We love Texas so much Jenna even went to college
there. Texas is the best. Remember the Alamo! Did you ever watch that
show Dallas? It's on the Soap Opera Network and we watch it every
day. It isn't very realistic, but we love JR. He's so mean. We just saw
the episode when Bobby Ewing was in the shower because everything from
the last season was a dream. Could you imagine if Al Gore was in the shower
in the White House because our daddy winning the election was all a dream?
That would be so weird. Wow. What was the question again?
MH from Los
Angeles:
Hey girls, I think you two are so talented. And so brave! How did you
handle it when one of you had to go away and get treated for anorexia?
That must have been so hard because you two are so close. How did you
get through that?
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Uh, are you sure that was us? That doesn't sound familiar. There was this
one time Jenna had to go in and get treated for alcohol poisoning, but
that was totally bogus because she'd had, like, three drinks that night
and our secret service guy blew it all out of proportion just because
she decided to take a nap at the Waffle House.
SK from Holly
Springs:
As young women who embody the future of our nation, how important do you
believe character to be when choosing a candidate and how does your dad
stack up?
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Well, S, to us character is the most vital part of being an excellent
leader. While we may be a little biased because he is our dad, we think
- well, we KNOW -- that our Dad is a man of strong and principled character.
If he says he is going to do something, he will do it. When we were kids,
if dad said he was going to come to one of our soccer games, he would
be there! And now even his critics can't argue that he is a steadfast
leader who means what he says and acts with resolve. At the same time,
he always treats everyone he meets with dignity and respect
MC from Boston:
That was a very well-thought-out and coherent answer, girls. Are you sure
it was you and not Karl Rove answering that one?
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
No, M, that was all us. 100% completely all-American young women Barbara
and Jenna Bush.
MC from Boston:
So if I wanted to let Karl Rove know I can't make our 3 o'clock tomorrow,
I can't say that here?
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Nope, because we're not Karl. We're Barbara and Jenna. And we can just
reschedule for 4:30. How's that fit into your schedule?
MC from Boston:
That's fine. Thanks Karl.
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
No problem, M. See you then.
LN from Humble:
What character trait - as a father - do you appreciate most about your
Dad and how do you see that trait manifest itself in him as President?
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Hey there. It is really difficult to choose only one characteristic about
our father because we think he has many incredible qualities. One thing
that we love about him is his open-mindedness. When we were in college,
he totally understood if we got busted for underage drinking or skipping
class or even copying our homework from older, more experienced classmates.
He's totally the coolest about all that stuff. He told us the most important
lesson we could ever learn is that nothing counts until you turn 40. Isn't
that the greatest advice ever?
SL from Pittsburgh:
Hey girls, I think it's just amazing how you two managed to swap in and
out of the house without any of your houseguests figuring it out. That
shot of Jase when the twist was revealed was priceless! He's totally screwed
and he knows it. Love you two. Good luck for the rest of the game!
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Uh, aren't you in the wrong chat? You probably want the Big Brother
chat, right? When we were younger we used to switch places all the time
to fool daddy until finally when we were 13 mom explained to him that
we don't really look alike. After that we could only fool him sometimes.
GB from Washington:

Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Daddy? Is that you?
BC from Chappaqua:
Hey girls, I was just wondering if you plan to do any campaigning in the
New York area. I've got an office in the city, and I'd love it if you
dropped by. The office is kind of uptown, but I could send a car for you.
I'd love for you to see this little back room the office has. It's the
coolest. Very, very private
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
B, that sounds great! We could hang out in the office and talk all about
daddy's campaign.
BC from Chappaqua:
There's nothing I like better than hearing the word "daddy"
in that room, girls. You have no idea.
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Cool! We'll just check our schedule and--
HC from Chappaqua:
The hell you will! B, get away from the computer before I come home and
throw it out!
BC from Chappaqua:
Okay, okay! Fine, I'll get off the computer. Just don't come home, okay?
Don't come home!
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
That's so funny. It totally reminds us of this time when we were little
girls and daddy came home late one night. He was talking in his "party
voice," the one he used after he had to work overtime. This one time,
daddy had been working overtime for three nights in a row and he came
home and--
Moderator:
And that's all the time we have for this chat. Thanks to everyone for
participating.
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Well, looks like our time is up! We really appreciate everyone joining
us online today! Don't forget to vote for our Dad in November!
MC from Boston:
Good night, Karl.
Barbara and
Jenna Bush:
Good night.
