The first gentleman won't be married to a woman. I don't see our country ever electing a woman as president.


You mean you think a gay man will be elected sooner than a straight woman?

I mean, yes, but her accomplishments are mostly linked to her celebrity from having been first lady.


Definitely true, but DCUM posters are damp over Yale Law School + the marrying well + her constant self promotion.

Jackie O was definitely the most accomplished. Well bred, nothing to prove, married well twice, impeccable taste in clothing and interior design, attentive mother, supportive wife.


Absolutely not. Jackie O married well. Did not accomplish anything.


As first lady, which was her profession at the time, she was sublime. Was she a shrill and tedious self-promoter before and after? No.


It is not a profession. Getting a role because of you husband is not a profession.


Helping your spouse get to the White House sure is a bigger accomplishment than teaching political science in community college.


If that's the measure of success, then Barbara Bush should win some sort of prize for getting her spouse and her son to the White House.

It may be possible that Michelle Obama gave up the highest salary to become first lady, and maybe wins the "most accomplished at the time of becoming first lady"


+100

A senator, Secretary of State and democratic Presidential nominee.

Without a doubt- Hillary

For those not familiar, this was a very popular game show in the 1950s that had a segment where a celebrity, usually a popular actor or singer, would come on and a blindfolded panel had to guess their identity. They would sign their name on a chalkboard when they walked on stage. So one night in 1953, out walked Eleanor Roosevelt:

That was fun to watch. Thanks for posting it. You must be a history buff, like I am!

And back to Abigail Adams on this one, too!

Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to ever run for President and was grossly overqualified for an unpaid fluff job of first lady.

The least qualified and laziest FLOTUS is Melania Trump.

She married young, moved around as expat with her husband, raised four kids, list fifth to leukemia and had Graves' disease, considering all that, she didn't have many opportunities and times were different too but she was pretty successful as a spouse, a mother and a First Lady. She had her causes she worked on.

What a nice speech, probably written by a speech writer like any other commencement speaker but delivered with such warmth and authenticity.

Abigail Adam- she did a lot to support the family farm while John was away, rallied behind many war causes, and raised a President.

MO was so so not for politics at first and hated that O was even in the Illinois Senate instead of working a more lucrative job and helping the family load more since she was the. breadwinner and raising the girls.

If it were up to her, they would’ve remained in Chicago to this day, but she said she would’ve never lived with herself by not agreeing or supporting his dream so she decided to put her own fears behind and get with the program.
