Michelle Obama's performance as first lady is getting high marks from her predecessor, Laura Bush.
Speaking to The Associated Press after a change of command ceremony for the USS Texas submarine in Connecticut, Bush says she's watched the current first lady from afar and is impressed.
Bush says "she's doing a great job," and says being first lady is like being a member of a club that very few people get to be part of.
Bush says leaving the White House was not a sad experience, and that it's "been great to be back home."
Bush says she's enjoying private life and spends a lot of time taking walks. She says she's been working on a book and is busy helping put together President Bush's presidential library.
