(Newser) – President Bush’s daughters are excited to see their father take a load off, People reports. “He's been under a lot of stress, so we're ready for him to go back to Texas and be warmly received,” says Jenna Hager. The twins agree their parents hadn’t changed during their White House tenure, and “have the same characteristics and ethics that they had all their life,” says Barbara.

The 27-year-old sisters also weigh in on the new First Family. “They're a lot younger than we are, cuter than we are—all younger and cuter,” Jenna says of Sasha and Malia Obama. “We're old news.” Barbara goes one step further: “Even the puppy is going to be cuter.”
