Palin has been active in election campaigns, acknowledged she is looking at the possibility of a 2012 presidential bid and plans a promotion tour for her own book due out next week, "America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag."
On the Tea Party, the one-term president said "they're all right" and some of their ideas make sense, but he's a bit confused by what the Tea Party really is or how members fit in "to get Republicans in Congress to do something."
The couple praised their son's book, "Decision Point," by former President George W. Bush. Barbara Bush said it is not a biography but how it is in the White House.
