My condolences.

I don't really know much about her... so I thought I'd just put it out there.


In your mind who was the best 1st lady?  What makes a good 1st lady?
(Please refrain from making this a Hilary bashing session)

For me, it would have to be Eleanor Roosevelt...

If you mentioned FDR, when my Grandpa was alive, all hell broke loose.

elanor roosevelt was an elitist and a communist two things that just don't seem to work well together or be complimentary and yet there you have it.

Kinda funny. The people who tend to pick Elanor Roosevelt (who was a great person BTW) will also tend to bash Hillary. Both were roundly critisized in their day for getting TOO involved.

Ladybird. She was a fine southern woman.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

My grandfather, who was the Sgt Major of the island of Tongareva during World War II, met Eleanor Roosevelt when her plane landed to refuel.  He said that he had about an hour long conversation with her.  I'm not sure what Mrs. Roosevelt was doing all the way out in the Pacific during a war (though Tongareva was considered in-the-rear), but my grandfather had nothing but good things to say about her.
