Bushes headline Dallas first ladies conference

The George W. Bush Center held its First Ladies Conference on the campus at Southern Methodist University, where the Center is currently under construction.

DALLAS — Laura Bush and her mother-in-law, Barbara, talked about life in the White House — from the joys of having their own chefs to making the landmark their home — and briefly dipped into current politics at a conference on first ladies on Monday.

Barbara Bush told about 300 people attending the conference hosted by the George W. Bush Presidential Center that the current campaign is the worst she's seen.
 
"I hate the fact that people think compromise is a dirty word. It is not a dirty word," she said.
