WASHINGTON – Soon after the funeral of his father, George H.W. Bush, former President George W. Bush took no time to start planning what mouth-watering piece of candy he would cutely hand former First Lady Michelle Obama during the next funeral they may attend together.
“It doesn’t matter who the funeral is for,” Bush said. “I have to be ready with the best darn piece of candy. Michelle is counting on me.” For Senator John McCain’s funeral, Bush had charmingly given Michelle Obama a mint. For his dad’s funeral, he presented her a butterscotch candy. But the president stated that he was not quite sure yet on what he would like to give Obama for the next funeral.
“All I can promise is that it’s going to be a doozy of a piece of candy.” When asked what kind of candy he was leaning towards, Bush answered, “Right now, I’d say nougat. But if I get an urge and start feeling a little more mischievous, then maybe cinnamon.”
While he may not be certain what delicious treat he will be handing Michelle Obama, one thing is for certain: We will all be waiting anxiously for the next politician to pass so we can witness another magical moment between these two American treasures.
