The even-keeled Laura Bush told her through the media that "everything you say is looked at and in many cases misconstrued." The first lady also said Michelle Obama must have meant she was "more proud" of her country than before, not proud for the first time.

"That's what I like about Laura Bush," Michelle Obama said in response. "There's a reason why people like her. It's because she doesn't, sort of, you know, fuel the fire."

She wrote a thank you note to "Dear madam first lady" and made clear she'd learned a thing or two from Laura Bush. "I'm taking some cues."

Regardless of what people think Michelle meant with her words, Kudos to her for taking the time to write and thank Mrs. Bush. Of course, Kudos to Laura for stepping to the plate in her defense as well.
