Oh, now I remember. Nancy Reagan had a free ride, no scrutiny, wonderful press coverage. Oh, and Melania. She had way more covers on slobbering magazines. Oh, wait . . .

Laura and Barbara Bush weren't exactly treated well either. I remember Laura Bush being attacked as a "stepford wife" multiple times over the course of her tenture. Just did a search and this thread from right here was just one of many results attacking her as such: Letter Writer Calls Laura Bush "Stepford Wife"

Also don't recall her getting numerous magazine covers.

Michelle Obama was treated lavishly by the press and pop culture publications...no other first lady in recent memory was given such lavish treatment.
