I agree with you. I think both Jackie and Melania were/are very lovely, elegant women and both seem to me to be a bit shy in public. I recall GW saying that Laura did not want to give speeches (Laura ended up doing a lot of speeches and some very good ones).
I see Laura somewhat along the same as Jackie and Melania in some respects, but not quite as “elegant” in a certain way, if that makes sense - nothing against Laura, I always liked her and got to meet her once - she was very nice and very charming. I think the difference is that Laura grew up in small towns in Texas (not that it’s a bad thing - love Texas and love small towns), there is just a difference with Jackie and Melania - perhaps it’s that they were more traveled and it’s just a different kind of poise and elegance - not saying it’s right or wrong.
Regardless, Jackie, Melania and Laura - all classy ladies in their own right and in different ways. They all totally beat Moochelle and Hillary in regards to elegance, class and poise.
Jackie Kennedy I believe spoke fluent French. Charles De Gaulle really liked her. I believe he visited the White House wanting to look her over. Jackie was the talk back then.
When Kennedy was killed Charles De Gaulle asked someone what will become of Jackie now? He then relied himself, “She will end up on a yacht of an arms dealer.” Strange thing for him to say. But then, she did end up on a yacht of a Greek shipping magnate. Aristotle Anassis
agree.. Laura is a Texas gal and both Jackie and Melania have the European elegancy
All three.. great gals.. and first lady material
