Daughter of George W Bush comments on Barack Obama being a ‘bad influence’ after a lip reader reveals inauguration exchange

The inauguration of President Donald Trump was attended by the likes
of Bill and Hillary Clinton, George W Bush and Laura Bush, and Barack
Obama, who attended the event without his wife.At
one point, former President George W Bush stole the attention with his
antics, which his daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, jokes warns him about.Speaking on Today, she discussed with her co-workers the clip of her father at Trump’s inauguration that has since gone viral.

“He goes viral for basically anything, he didn’t do anything!” Hager
told co-host Scarlett Johansson laughingly about the video of Bush
raising his eyebrows in a cheeky way. “I mean, that’s what his face
looks like.”

“You all already guessed what moment has been blowing up our family group chat,” she added.But as Hager said, we shouldn’t only blame her dad because he “was also seated next to a bad influence,” referring to Obama.

Of course, she was just joking, trying to highlight the friendship between the two former presidents.“Take
a look at what former President Barack Obama had to say,” Hager said
before a video of the exchange between Barack Obama and George W Bush
was played. “I just love how when they’re together, they become unusual
friends,” she added.

 

Previously, lip-reader Jackie G, who is deaf, shared on Instagram what she thought Bush and Obama said to each other at the inauguration.

“Good to see you,” Obama said, and then added with a smile: “How can we stop what’s happening?”

Jackie G wrote that “Lip reading is not a reliable form of communication, all statements are alleged.” She captioned her post: “Obama ‘just barely’ behaving.”
