In 1963 Laura Bush, then known as Laura Welch and only 17 years old at the time, was driving her [[Chevrolet]] sedan on a clear night shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 6, 1963. She ran a [[stop sign]] at an intersection and struck a Corvair sedan driven by 17 year old Michael Douglas. Douglas was killed. This is recorded in a two-page accident report released by the city of Midland, Texas. No charges were filled.<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/e1698.htm 1963 accident]</ref>  Although Mrs. Bush has historically blamed for the accident, recent scholarship has suggested that there may have been little she could do to avoid it.  Douglas was driving a first generation Chevrolet Corvair, notorious for its unpredictable handling at high speeds.  The possibility that Douglas lost control of the vehicle can not be discounted.

Since becoming a First Lady, Laura [[Bush]] has been attacked by left wing [[liberals]] on her stand towards [[African Americans]]. Her comment on the origins of black people on NBC during the 2004 elections caused a massive media whiplash and created much controversy.
