Please vote for your favorite First Lady
 
Margret Trudeau, a woman I would take my keks off for:)
 
Nancy Reagan is not on the list:(
 
Abagail Adams or Dolly Madision. Both were women ahead of the time, both of who had an impact on their husband's Presidency and the country at larger, in a time when women had far less power than they do, today.

I tried to pick the 10 most recent ones, but I left Nancy Reagan out!
 
Well done Captain Courtesy!
 
I can't decide between Laura Bush and Rosalind Carter.
 
Amongst the ones on the list? Betty Ford followed by Hillary Clinton.
 
Betty Ford was pretty cool, I agree.
 
I liked her clinic, I still have the outpatients T shirt somewhere:)
 
You really went to her clinic? Are you down in Palm Springs area?
 
I think I'll vote for Betty. She seems like the most real. She and Gerald seemed like a well-suited couple. I think it was great the way she shared her struggles and turned it into a positive.

She made it OK and not shameful to get help for one's addication/mental health issues. It has helped change the way some look at this. A very brave woman.
 
Damn, I wish Hillary had won.

Bill would have definitely got my vote, now its a tough choice.

I agree. She really helped make a breakthrough in the American consciousness about that.

pfft.. that's the job title.. it would be rather sexist to change it just because he didn't have the same plumbing as the rest of the people who held that title.

Really? I used to live in Joshua Tree for 11 or 12 years or so. I went to school down in Palm Desert.
