I was a grade schooler when Kennedy was in office, and literally revered the President and the First Lady almost like royalty (I was just a kid, ok?)

For that day and time, Jackie Kennedy was about as close to perfect as anyone could want for a First Lady. Even decades after Camelot had come crashing down, she remained the standard.

I saw the magazine cover you’re referring to in the grocery store the other day, and the same thought occurred to me. How far Americans’ standards have fallen. Moo-chelle can’t hold a candle to Jackie on her very best day. She has shamed the honorable station she holds, since the day she moved into the White House.

What a fitting companion for the worst president of all time.

I,too, was a grade schooler when Kennedy was in office, etc.... I agree with you. I found LIFE MAGAZINE online w/pics of Jackie through-out her years.

what a travesty as FLOTUS we have in the WH now.
I think Mrs. Laura Bush was also elegant in her manners and dress; downplaying , always showing grace.

Jackie had taste and style. She knew how to dress well and knew how to behave in public....But she also came from the upper class, not as rich as some, but traveled in those elite circles....I don't think she ever let the country down when she traveled with the president....had one big problem when she and her sister took a cruise on Ari's ship and the president has to call her home cause it was starting to cause a scandle....She did end up marrying him after kennedys death...she did love money and what it could buy her, but didn't flaunt it or act dumb by exiting Airforce one in tacky shorts and a tacky shirt like our present first lasy does....

Some people just don't have good taste in clothes (I am one also) but she should at least have someone on her staff that can clue her in, unless she doesn't take advice from others....
