Yea, a Bush with some brains!!!!!  Huh...maybe the apple did fall far from the tree  Wow Bush has an intelligent daughter. WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT!  It seems that ALL of the Bush women, starting with Barbara Bush, are pretty descent women. They have all made statements that are contradictory to their menfolk's political psitions. I think if we had their women as president, instead of the Bush men, we might have been better off as a country and not so devided.  Isn't it interesting that Ms. Bush stands to benefit financially from Mr. Obama's health care disaster? She has her hand out too just like all the other phoney RHINO's in the beltway Republican and Democrat establishments. Shame on her! Principle before personal gain? Not here. Shame on the Bush Family for what they did to the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln!  The core law of Health Care Reform, that everyone has to get private insurance, was a Republican idea until Obama tried to pass it.  Glad to see someone can see the truth.  Another example of youth making demands of government that their parents must pay for. The youth of this country have not gotten to the point where THEY are the taxpayer heavily responsible for the spending of government. They will have a rude awakening soon that will shake the very foundation of their beliefs. I can only hope that it will not be too late to do something to reverse the permissive government they demand.  A Republican with a heart. Yay.  I'm so glad that she understands things that most Republicans. I'm retired and have health ins., but there are so many who go with out just the basic health care that is so unnecessary in this great country of ours. You go girl!!!  Glad to see a Republican can actually be an independent thinker!  so what? does that mean we all should jump on the bandwagon? It's a bad idea, especially when it demands that we all lose our right to choose whether or not we want health insurance. And don't give me that line about mandatory auto insurance because that is only if you choose to drive an auto.  The bill should be repealed.  I don't just "guess" I'm disappointed the bill passed, I KNOW I'm disappointed.  Oh my God, what an idea, healthcare for everyone!!!  ...but wait a minute, that is such a Socialist idea, so it must be evil and bad. Only rich people should have healthcare, and they should also be able to have the rest of us sprawl on the floor so they can walk on us too.  Good for Barbara, always liked her for some reason, now I know why, she actually has a soul.  Though she better watch out for Barbara (Mrs GHW Bush), there will be vengeance for these comments and that woman is capable of drinking the blood of babies.  Barbara has a social conscience that her father seemed to lack as he served big business at "main street's" expense! Good for her for speaking out.  I think a yacht should be a right for everyone. It is not fair that some people have yachts, and others do not. This is a horrible injustice and the Government should level the playing field by funding yachts for everyone. Having a yacht provided by the government is a right.  A Bush with a brain. Weird.  Started with his wife, now a kid. His own family opposed the W administration.  I always knew there was a reason I liked her.  Good for you Barbara!! You could possibly convert the NO PARTY to something a lot more democratic.  I am glad you were not thinking like your father. It is humane of you to think for the people with lower incomes who cannot afford health coverage like the rich or the privileged. The health of our nation should not differentiate rich/ poor and this country belongs to all of us and should be treated the same way.  She must be adopted no natural born Busch is that intelligent.  The Next Unofficial Wonder Of The World – a Bush with an intellect.  A Bush with brains? Probably not REALLY his daughter.....  So she's smarter than her daddy.  Good for her, you know her mom Laura was a Democrat before hooking up with "W", so I guess she has some Liberal blood in her, which I think is fantastic  She sounds like a smart girl!  A previous article about Ms Bush got a lot of sour comments from liberals, just because of her family. Don't you fools know that she isn't responsible for her family's deeds? Judge this lady on her own actions; maybe her work isn't what you would choose, but this is her life, not yours.  It takes brains and heart to start this endeavor. And it takes guts to go off in your own direction, as Barbara Bush is doing. She has my respect.  Maybe maniacal psychosis skips at least one in a generation, even in a family so overwhelmingly evil as the Bushes. But I wouldn't count on it.  Good for you, Barbara. You are one young lady with a lot of class and honesty.  Even the Bush family has some good eggs!  Ms. Bush deserves credit for voicing her opinion despite its lack of popularity.  Stupidity must have a genetic component.  YEA for Barbara and her care for others.! Medical care should be a right for everyone not a profit for a few!  "Not like Father, like daughter".  She makes a good point. Just because you have a low salary shouldn't mean you don't get the same standard as someone on a high salary. We need everyone in an economy from brick layers, to fund managers, dentists to teachers, to plumbers. These people all earn different salaries but are all equally needed.  One thing you can say about the W family is that they have good international health credentials (i.e. Bush in Africa / on AIDS).  "Health should be a right for everyone."  Really? If that's the case, then certainly food should be a right for everyone, too. What's more important to a person's health than nutrition?  While we're at it, shelter is also very important to your health. Perhaps we should pass a housing bill so that all Americans can get a federally funded house.  Proper clothing is also critical to your health. Especially in colder climates.  Why is it that people who have higer incomes have nicer houses, and better food, and better clothing? This injustice needs to be corrected. Only the federal government can get it done.  Finally a Bush with a brain...I am sure the right wing and teanutter groups will rip her apart....  There is a Bush with a brain. Pass it on to the other GOP's and maybe just maybe this country will be back on track.  Glad to see this generation of Bush's are more enlightened.  could not agree with her more.  We like this Bush daughter  "Why do, basically, people with money have good health care and why do people who live on lower salaries not have good health care?" the 28-year old said. "Health should be a right for everyone." ______________________________________________________ In the scope of what she says here I agree with her. But there are many ways to get there. ObamaCare happens to be one of the worst. It ends up raising the cost of health care without improving the quality. It's not paid for and it just dumps some serious financial problems on future generations of Americans.  Even young Republicans are becoming idiots (this one and McCains daughter too... it is the memtality of youth today..... everyone owes them something and they should get everything for free.  A progressive, whether they be Republican (GWB was a Repub progrssive) or Democrat (BHO is a Dem Prog), ant his is all about govermental control over every aspect of our lives.  Someone who thinks for herself. Good for you  Well, that's refreshing. Truth and intelligence from one of the Bush family members.  Wow! A Republican who thinks poor people are Human Beings not slaves or machines- guess we'll spare her when the revolution comes. Way ta go, Barb!!!  The health care bill was not for Obama. It was for the people of America that need access to health care.  It is time that we stop making everything political; and address issues based on the public good, instead of who occupies the White House.  Its funny how we as Americans are so ready to kill and fight wars.. but when it comes to helping each other (aka... health care) we refuse! Until we change our mentality from everyone for themselves.. to helping your fellow citizen.. we will continue to fall short on any progress as a nation!  Good for her. She's obviously more compassionate than the hard line GOPers who can't see past the party lines on this issue.  She seems to be a very bright and intelligent young lady. Thank God someone in the Bush family has brains!☺  Time for the right wing media machine to start tearing down Barbara the same way they tried to tear down Meghan McCain for her opinions.  Fox news, slap on their face.  Good For Barbara! It goes to show you no matter what your politics are, SPEAK OUT!  I like what Barbara Bush said, but why did she get coverage?  Oh yeah, she was on Fox, and CNN covers whatever Republican families say on Fox. That's why we hear Liz Cheney spout her family's vicious insanity and why we never hear from Chelsea Clinton.  This just shows there is a disconnect from reality with the younger generations. I am disappointed with Barbara Bush's comments. Evidently she does not realize that she and her generation will be the ones bearing the brunt of Obamacare's cost. No one who lives in the US is entitled to free healthcare....the Constitution does not guarantee that to any citizen.  What the younger generations needs to realize is that all of the freebies that Obama is giving to them will need to be paid for starting in 2014....after the re-election in 2012. There is nothing in life that is free. We all will have to pay more taxes for this stupid law. Plus our healthcare will not get better, only worse. All you have to do is hold a conversation with someone from Canada, and you will learn the truth about what is coming for American healthcare, thanks to Obama.  So Barbara, WAKE UP and Keep your mouth shut. Especially, when you do not understand what you are speaking about.  "Health should be a right for everyone."  If she really said that, it situates her on the far left end of the IQ bell curve.  As for "global health equity," drastic population reduction would be the quickest path to that goal.  Wow!!!!! I feel like Gomer Pyle. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!!!!  obviously, the young lady's headis well screwed on her neck and that is why she can see far beyond what people born into fabulous riches can see. God bless her and Meghan McCain!.  To hear a Bush say something truthful is so shocking I will be needing therapy to deal with it. BB just went up a notch in my book. That puts her at notch 1.  I'm glad she stood up for her principles. Of course, now she'll be shunned by the rest of the GOP because she didn't follow party lines and *dared* to think for herself.  Hey Rush Limbaugh, did you hear that? HA!  It's obvious that Miss Bush has a higher intellect and more empathy for the common American citizen than her father or her father's Republican party has.  Daddy has probably already called her and told her to shut up.  This Barbara is a nice girl, not like all the other republicans who want health care only for the rich.  somewhere, Dick Cheney is having another heart attack  Wow! So somebody that doesn't know nothing about healthcare thinks it should have passed. Impressive. Especially since she doesn't have to pay for any of it. Hey my kid said that I should be a brain surgeon because being one is a good idea and people have a right to brain surgey.  Shows she doesn't just think about herself.  Finally a Bush being honest.  Wow, a Bush with a brain. Good for her. Between her and Meghan McCain, perhaps Republicans ARE actually capable of spawning bright compassionate people. Of course, there are those who think folks on "lower salaries" shouldn't have health care.....if you're poor and have a chronic illness, just take an aspirin.  Unlike Sara Palin,the Bush daughter is sensible.  Since he retired, we are finding more evidence that George Bush might be the least intelligent member of his immediate family.  W's daughter speaks the truth. Good for her.  Well at least the final bill didn't have a public option or those back-room favors for a handful of states. Obama learned the same lesson Clinton had to learn when he was first elected. Just because you're in the White House doesn't mean you're going to dictate how legislation will come down, even with a supermajority. I know it's hard for conservatives to see it, but they won some important victories along the way that kept the bill from being a lot more expensive.  This is America–we have freedom to express our thoughts & beliefs no matter where our party allegiance is. Kudos to Barbara!  Obviously, Barbara Bush is better educated and smarter than her dimwit dad and the morons in the GOP.  I love Barbara Bush Jr.!  Thank you, Barbara. You are a wonderful example of how someone doesn't have to tow the party line and can actually CARE about another human being.  "Why do, basically, people with money have good health care and why do people who live on lower salaries not have good health care?" the 28-year old said. "Health should be a right for everyone."  Why don't we ask the Greeks on how that kind of thinking is working? Heck, let's all ask the Euros how that type of thinking is working.  This idea of "healthcare is a right" is the biggest bunch of Wilsonian pap that has ever existed. Healthcare is a right is not Madisonian, which is the only correct way to look at this.  Really, Barbs, you simply don't get it.  Maybe now liberals will stop putting Bush in the conservative column. He was the darling of the Texas Democrat party because he was a progressive. He was just better at convincing people he cared about us, but his politics were not much different than Obama's.  He was a better actor.  The majority of the people didn't want it because now we will be taxed on what the cost is to my company.  More taxes on the people who souldn't have to pay for people that don't want it.  This will add more than a trillion dolas to our already high debt now.  This is another case of our government that thinks they know what is best for us. They can't even balance a budget they just print more money.  Our leadership has just lost their minds and you will see in 2010 and 2012 the changes that will be made.  Enjoy now Obama you will not be there for 2012 if you do win It' will be time to close up and get out of th US. We will just be another third world country.  Come on, CNN, you can do a better job than this. First, your only description of the health insurance reform legislation calling it a "massive spending measure." That it may be, but it is also far more than that, and if you are going to call it a "massive spending measure," then you should also discuss the estimated cost savings, and benefits to those currently uninsured. Second,"what she though about the president's health care initiative?" Doesn't anyone proof read this stuff?  I don't even want to hear the GOP response to this  I just want to smile and enjoy that she said it  I hope she won't pull a Fiorna and say "I'm just quoting my friend"  She has the correct opinion,  I'm curious .. why does this raise eye brows ? Just because she is Bush's daughter .. why does she have to agree with all things REP. ? and why don't you folks at CNN think REP. want health care ... They do want health care .. just not Obamacare ... Obama is going to help destroy health care in the USA. Read stories from around the world to what is happening to other countries gov run health care. Look at MA. and how it is running. Under Bush they had pilot programs in Oregon to see how it would work... If CNN actually reported news and didn't "cheerlead" this adm. maybe we could have some ethics in the media .. and report the truth. AND Hey celebs of hollywood were is the anger about what is happening in the gulf .. after Katrina you were all over the news saying Bush doesn't care... Well Obama doesn't care now .... He took twice as long as Bush to respond  At least one member of the Bush family shows a degree of intelligence!  Spoken like a true "limosine liberal" who has never had to work in their life, no money woes, and has no glimpse of reality! The US should listen to this egghead!  Well, he must have done something right.  WOW!! A Bush with a heart, a conscience and a moral backbone!!!!! Who would have thought???  She is absolutely right – the rich has access to the best health care in the world – and many amonng the poor has the second-best (Medficare and Medicaid) and the middle class is lucky to have any at all!  Yet the Republican Party has been able to inspire the very people who have free socialist government health care to stand up against allowing the struggling middle class to get it....  I wonder, what would Jesus say? After all, He was a socialist who gave free health care to all who came asking for it; He said that He would take from the rich and give to the poor. He and His disciples took a little boy's 5 fishes and re-distributed this wealth among the thousands gathered there that day...and worst but bot least – He and His disciples owned everything collectively, and not individually. Was he a Communist, too????  OK barb likes it that it passed,so get out her check book and write a check to pay for it. That will solve the entire problem, I do believe that 60+% of people were again it. If she pays for it Obama can refund all that moey he spent ,that is if he can get all his washington firends to return it to Tax payer. .I don't want one single goverment agency to touch it. it seems every time they do ,the money disappears. There would be no Social security probems today if some Deomcrat ,had kept sticky fingers out of the Till. That money was not theres it belonged to the everyday hard working American.I started work at 14 in bowling Alley settting pins. I consider that money stolen ,and some o0ne should be in jail for it .  This is what happens when petty politics comes out of people's thinking.  The Democrat's message on healthcare insurance reform is strong on the merits .... everything from this Administration is.  I'd much rather have a President that focuses on the substance over the sizzle. I'm impressed that the daughters of our last President also share this preference.  And why should she "follow" the party line or her father's ideology – good for you Barbara. Nice to see young people with their own minds in political families  At least she is honest. Dems would go to their graves blaming Bush for everything from WW! to Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill!  One smart Bush!! How about that!!  Looks like daughter inherited Dad's spending ability..... Why is it a prerequisite for political office to be math-challenged? Only a Democrat and an alcoholic 28-year old could believe we can afford the Health Care bill....  They (The Bushes) raised their children to think for themselves, job well done George and Laura!  Daughters of GOP politicians seem so much nicer and smarter than their fathers.  Can this be a seed to "United we stand" There is so much we can disagree on but good Health Care should unite us. A healthy society will benefit all rich and poor togeter will make advancements beyond our dreams.  Wow....now that's a pleasant surprise!  Finally, a Republican who tells the truth. I for one am proud of this Bush.  Finally a Bush that said something smart. Not since the last Barbara Bush have I heard such sense.  "Health (care) should be a right for everyone."  THIS IS A KEY STATEMENT  i'm not big on entitlements, not even remotely so, but this one, i think, is important.  At least she speaks her own mind, which is a good thing  Finally, an intelligent, soulful comment by a Bush! Welcome to the human family, Barbara; we are proud of you. Those genes must have come from Laura.  Barbara Bush basically follows her mother Laura's political bent, which is Democratic. This doesn't surprise me.  Doesn't sound like she has read it. I am not republican or democrat but this health bill is not right. Its only for the dead beats. I am not talking about people who lost their jobs, handicap or children. Only about the ones that are not legal in country and those who sit around and do nothing except get everything free.  If she ever changes her mind about running, I will consider the impossible in terms of looking seriously at voting for a Bush.  Wow! a pragmatic republican. She should run for office. With more like her, I might decide to return to the party.  WOW a Bush with a brain. Did you see on 20/20 that our Military Computer system was hacked and a foreign government was in our sysem for days. But Bush never told the public. It would reflect bad on his administration. Is that what you all want in November?  Healthcare is NOT a right. It is a SERVICE. It's the same thing as saying everyone has a right to a job. It's not the governments job to give you things you should get on your own. If you stay in school, study hard, get a job, you will have healthcare insurance. It's the governments job to create an environment that allows for personal success. Society, not the government is messing things up. Lack of morality, lack of honesty, lack of character, lack of disipline, lack of family, lack of religion, lack of a conscience are the reasons why people do not succeed. The government can not provide all those things, you need to learn them and keep them yourself.  Well obviously, she like most of the rest of humanity, including Obama, did not read the bill. I amazes me how these people can make a comment on something they have no knowledge of. I guess that's why they call them Democrats.  Finally a Bush with some common sense. It is refreshing to see that all republicans are not sticking to the same old talking points! Good for your Barbara Bush!  The idiot didn't fall far from the idiot tree.  Someone with the last name Bush and has that DNA in her veins has common sense?  The same question was asked about education many many years ago.  Hmmm...the lunacy stopped with her dad then. Thank goodness.  This is President Obama base – the young Republicans and Democrates. They do not think like their parents and are move compassion toward the poor. President Obama needs to keep the young happen and he will win in 2012.  Let's see, Barbara likes healthcare for everyone, her Mom says Gay people should have the same marriage rights as other Americans.  Hmmm, maybe if Republicans acted a little more like human beings and Americans who stick up for each other and not just tow the party line the GOP might not be in so much trouble. But I don't think we have to worry about that happening.  Good for her! Shows she has a mind of her own and can stand up for what she believes iin.  The girl's got a heart ! She must take after George H.W.'s side of the family. After all, he did yearn for a Kinder, Gentler Nation;and was promptly considered a "wimp" by GOP power guys, even though he was a WWII volunteer fighter; unlike many of them.  "Health should be a right for everyone."  Yeah, everyone does have a "right" to health, a right complimented by everyone's own personal responsibility to maintain it. But no one has a "right" to raid the public treasury–i.e., their neighbour's wallets–to pay their own medical bills.  "Why do, basically, people with money have good health care and why do people who live on lower salaries not have good health care?"  Because people with more money can afford better stuff. People with more money can afford nicer cars and bigger houses–and better medical care.  Good for her. Did GW Bush actually do something well and raise independent, intelligent daughters?  WOW! the only smart Bush in the bunch. Maybe she's Adopted?  I'm hardcore dem, but I gotta say, W. can't be that bad of a guy given his wife and daughters. (And for the record, I've always liked Laura & the girls, long before they began sharing their support for Kagan and health care).  Come on now. I saw the entire interview. CNN is making it sound like Barbarba Bush endorsed the Obama Health care bill, but she DID NOT. She merely said it was good that a bill was passed. GHEESH, CNN!!!  FINALLY a Bush with a brain and a heart. Wow....probably disowned by now.  With thinking like this perhaps she should have DNA done to see if she is really a Bush.  Well, when I found out she was working for teh Global Health Corps I knew, if she had an open mind, she would see the inequity in healthcare. She obviously has gotten around and seen the real world. Anyone who has a brain can see how unfair our health care system is and that we needed to do something.  i can't tell you how much i abhor your headlines. CNN is the one trying to "raise eyebrows." let's stick to the news and keep editorialization where it belongs  I never thought I'd see the day when someone with Jarge Bush's DNA in their veins that has has a brain. Even though Jarge Bush will always remain the dumbest humanoi to walk on Earth, his Bush daughter somehow managed to escape the evolutionary chain of destruction her father was responsible for.  Sounds like the children of GOP leaders have their own mind and don'tnecessarily follow their parents. First it was Megan McCain, now Barbara Bush. Bravo for them. I'm sure it is hard to tow the same line as your parents did. Also note the sons of Ronald Reagan. They are on differerent sides of the aisle as well.  One thing to note on the kids of Bush and McCain, they are part of the newer generation who see things quite differently than their parents did.  A Bush who can actually think outside of the lines drawn by party ideology. Now that is refreshing!  The Bush daughters and Mrs. Bush just reinforce in our minds what we already knew, that they are classic RHINOS and are as responsible for the mess this country is in ast like Mr. Obama and his liberal and leftist friends. This is what the political class and establishment of both parties have brought us, debt, taxes, refusal to face reality and poliical arrogance! You go, Sarah! Save us from this cast of disreputable phonies!  It's nice to see that someone in that family has (1) a heart and (2) brains. Maybe it was the milkman or the cable guy instead of George...  very interesting given the way she was raised. If she is serious, I admire her for it. If she lives like a wealthy person then I think her statements would be curious. Basically, wealthier people world wide have better access to food, housing, entertainment, clothes and healthcare and even water! In this country, if someone works 40 hours per week, they should have access to reasonable food, housing and healthcare. If someone is working 40 hours per week and really can't afford this stuff, then we should help them. What we need to get away from is people who are lazy, retire early, fake disability or minimal disability not working and thinking that they have a right to free healthcare.  Though I was deeply opposed to most of George W. Bush's policies are president, I respect how his family members have minds of their own. It shows that the former president is open to opposing views...even in his own family.  I have alot of respect for her for expressing that view on Fox News. I also have a growing respect for her dad, who has shown a great deal of integrity in not criticizing our President the way that Dick and Liz Cheney have. Kudos to the Bush family.  She's too young and naive to understand why, the bill was a bad bill. She will learn, later.  The girl gets her brains from her mother's side of the family.  It is time now to vote for the best family. The Bush family is impressing me each day which goes by. This young lady understands well, that life is serious enough, not to take side and follow her fellow Republicans!  thank you barbra bush. any well rounded american wants health care for all americans. only the 'hate our black president an never agree with anything he says or does' that think this black man is out to get them,are the poor lost souls that want only for themselves and to hell with the other man.the younger generation will bring positive change to america ,as the bigeted older whites die out, america will see the coming together of one nation under god. i am a white grandmother and i hope i live to see that day happen. i pray for our president everyday. i can not stand to listen to racists like Fox news ,sarah palin, glen beck,limbaugh,an hannity is a disgrace to man, because they do not speak for the average voter, they are the problem in this country.sadly the uneducated are being preached this hatred and dis-respect from these fringe right low-class bigots pretending to be journelists. barbra bush is the beginning of this new era that will hopefully bring the change america needs.  Smart woman. Looks like her apple fell from the mother's tree.  Finally, someone with practical common sense from the Bush clan who can speak their mind. Yes, Barbara seems to be of the same intellectual and idealogical mold as her mother; perhaps even her father and gramp, but they may be speaking for the party rather than their own beliefs. One suspects it is the latter, and I do not see her speaking out without her father knowing about it and agreeing with her likely statements (even if that was not clear before the Faux Noise interview. Note also that the interviewer is not exactly Ayles' favourite person on the channel; not in the same way as Insanity Homes or Prof. Glum Buck.  I'm glad she has the guts to say what she believes.  Wait until she pays taxes for 20 years in order to "keep up"democratic parasites of the lazy and worthless,she will grow up and see the light.When too lazy to work-BE A DEMOCRAT AND HAVE THE GOVERNMENT KEEP YOU UP.  It's plain to see that this woman has been brainwashed. Just wait until the true facts on this bill especially the parts for senior citizens come out and see if she still thinks it's a good bill.  good for her. its good to know that one BUSH has a good head on her shoulders.
