How incredibly refreshing it would be to have a First Lady who was nothing but the wife of the President. Who wasn’t out campaigning for him for four years. Who didn’t have “a cause”—always something “for the children.” Who didn’t have a social secretary because she made no speeches and appearances.
Blame Jackie Kennedy and her amphetamines for the hyper-active First Ladies we’ve had to endure for fifty years.

True, but Eleanor Roosevelt wasn’t exactly a shrinking violet and everyone ‘knew’ Bess Truman and Mamie Eisenhower but Jack and Jackie were comparatively young, photogenic and the press gobbled them up....having the pre school kids in the WH also kept the press at the gates.

AMEN!!!!! And we women also would not have to endure such put-downs as Hillary spewed ...remember the “I didn’t just stay home baking cookies” line .... a total afront to all the American women who had simply made different choices ...
We don’t elect these women, yet they and their beliefs are shoved down our throats for four years. I’m tired of the “causes” and the silly media attention. It’s just repetitive and boring at this point ... watching Michelle Obama rave about her “fake” garden ....nauseating.
How about just a nice, classy wife who goes about her life, supports the president, and just stays neutral and professional ...wouldn’t it be refreshing?
