She wanted to see out, but didn’t want you to see in. Her prerogative.
We all admire her. I bet you she was concerned for her husband’s welfare, and her family’s.
She knows, more intimately than we do, what it would be like to be Jackie O. She was just arming herself emotionally.
My take. Don’t hold it against her.
She may be a little skittish about returning to White House life. Lord knows, she was treated shamefully the first time by the press.
I think she’ll be treated better this time but it may take a few months for her to warm back up.
Exactly. And don’t forget, she was having to look at the people who wanted to kill her husband. Having a mysterious air prevented them from making assumptions about her attitude. Her hat did the work of protecting her from prying eyes. As someone else remarked, it was like having sunglasses on without having sunglasses on. She could see them, but they couldn’t see her.
