Interview of the First Lady by ABC News, "Good Morning America"

Business Wire, Sept 1, 2008

Q You have an audience here, Mrs. Bush. What's your message? You've got the GMA audience.

MRS. BUSH: That's right. I was going to talk a lot about Senator McCain and talk about Cindy McCain, who is so accomplished and has already done so many things. She was just recently in Tbilisi, Georgia, with the World Food Program, delivering supplies there. And I admire her very, very much. I was also, of course, going to talk about my husband. This is the eighth Republican Convention I've been to. Obviously, I wanted to make just a few rebuttals to some things that were said at the last convention that I think are important.

So I'm going to still visit with delegations today and get to see people who are here. The Republicans, obviously, have to meet. They have business that they have to take care of, legal business, to make the nomination a fact.

Q Still work to be done. Mrs. Bush, if we don't get a chance to speak before you leave office, thank you for the service that you have done. We really do appreciate you.

MRS. BUSH: Thank you so much, Robin.

Q You take care.
