Jackie wasn't 1st lady in MY lifetime, so I can't vote for her anyway.

Jackie was revered around the world. When the Kennedys traveled she was the one most admired. Or I should say made the biggest splash. Not to spite Nancy but in that sense not even close.

As far as looks, it's safe to say that Jackie was and remains the hottest 1st Lady to date.

Elanor Roosevelt easily edges out Barbara Bush, who looked like 41's mom, even back in '88.

Until recently I don't recall hate being directed at a first lady. Bush two caught a lot of shit but his wife had high grades regardless. It's getting stupid.

I agree. 'Hate' for the spouse of a President does seem petty.

Unless the spouse is a real shrew of a woman... well, we all know who fits THAT description.

I am betting you mean shrewd. The one I know best fits that description is Nancy Reagan although I am not sure that's fair. She had her husbands back more than anyone I've heard of, and many behind the scene guilty or not felt her wrath. Even her own kids had big problems with her and Ronald. They actually didn't like them much at all.

SO what criteria are you basing this subjective piece of rubbish thread on. Are you judging this women on their clothes and hairstyle? On their support of their husband? On the projects they supported?

What makes a good President's wife? Why should you even care?

Leader's partners are not given much attention here, I wonder why you guys do it. Smacks of neo monarchism to me.

Quite the opposite I think. You see our first ladies are more than just wall flowers.

So what is the purpose of an unelected spouse of an elected leader?

Here in this country they pick something that is dear to them and try and effect change. They are front and center in representing our country and do a very good job of it.

Perhaps the most important thing is bring down the hate level of people who disagree with there spouses politics. For instance when Bush two was giving fits to those who disagreed with him Mrs. Bush had a very high rating. She presented a sanity within the family that gave heart to the country. I don't know if you get what I am saying but it was really important at the time.

With Mrs. Obama it is quite the different story. She is under fire constantly and is not deserving of it. Some of the things said about her are terribly hateful. I have seen it in these threads. Their called bigots. This for me is a first. I don't ever recall this being the case before. Except with Hillary Clinton because she tried to fix the health care system while first lady. Boy did she get it. Then she ran for and became a Senator in New York and earned even the Republicans respect.

Ah yes, your choice of words as with your choice of plays betrays your not so hidden views. Women who are not subjegated to their husbands whims should be tamed, I suppose. A first lady who is a demure wallflower is preferable to one with opinions and a career.

You got em. Yep ya did. The sad thing is he does not nor will he ever get it. His defense is he did not start the thread as though it is the thread and not his comments that are the problem.

Because there's nothing TO get. I didn't start this thread. Tis true. Nor did I even convey it was a good idea. I specifically stated otherwise.

My comments are a problem ?

Which comments ?

What problem do they pose ?

The imagined conclusions cast on me by others are NOT my concern. I will not answer to lies and distortions about what I say.

Honestly, I didn't even realize that any of them were there TBH.

I thought the only point in the First Lady was to provide irrefutable proof that the man your voting for doesn't meet up with George Michael at some glory hole in the middle of the forest preserve on his off time.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
