The First Ladies of my lifetime have been Bess Truman, Mamie Eisenhower, Jackie Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon, Betty Ford, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, and Michelle Obama.
I like Hillary the best, of course, and Jackie Kennedy second, but my other favorites might surprise my friends.
I have a high regard for Pat Nixon and Nancy Reagan. Pat Nixon put up with more than any woman should have to, and she did it with grace and class. Nancy Reagan was an astute politician who put the interests of her husband over ideology.
Laura Bush seems like a nice person, but I never cared for her mother-in-law.
