Bush, 41st President of the United States, and served as our First Lady '89 to '93. They had six children together including George W. Bush, the 43rd President, and Jeb Bush, the 43rd Governor of Florida. While in the White House she founded the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. "You do meet all sorts of people on the campaign trail. As George and I stood in receiving line after receiving line, having pictures taken with supporters, I often though about Rosalynn Carter, who once innocently had her picture taken with Jim Jones, the man who led the cult to Guyana and forced them to drink poisoned Kool-Aid. As I shook people's hands, I would think, Is this a good guy? Is he a mass murderer? I could happen." (p 157).
