Bush: Clinton understands White House pressure

Ooohh, those dynasties:

In an exclusive interview with Charlie Gibson airing Tuesday on World News, President Bush and first lady Laura Bush said that Sen. Hillary Clinton’s experience as first lady has prepared her to handle the “pressure” of a presidential race and the White House.

“No question, there is no question that Sen. Clinton understands pressure better than any of the candidates, you know, in the race,” the president told ABC News’ Charlie Gibson Tuesday afternoon at the presidential retreat at Camp David.

The president emphasized, “I do believe our candidate will beat her, if she happens to be the nominee,” although he refused to speculate on the Republican presidential field, calling it a “wide-open” race.

Bush, whose father was defeated for re-election by Bill Clinton in 1992, called the former first lady a “very formidable candidate,” saying repeatedly that she and the former president “understand the klieg lights.”

Cue the Bilderberger enthusiasts: “They’re laying the ground for Laura to run in 2016!”
