Subject: RE: BS: A Prediction
Her plan wasn't too hot. Of course, no one offered a counter-proposal. My point was that they were complaining about it before they even knew what it was.

Heck, they were complaining about her before she even hit the White House! Nancy Reagan was far more active in the government than Hillary was, yet no one ever made "Who Elected Nancy" bumoper stickers. Rosalynn rewrote Jimmy's speeches and sat in Cabinet meetings. Edith Wilson ran the west wing while Woodrow was laid up with a stroke, helped negotiate the League of Nations Treaty, and was praised in the media as a capable 'President.' Lady Bird Johnson pissed off people everywhere by trying to get women included in the Civil Rights Act, way ahead of her time. Eleanor, of course, is the started by which all First Ladies are judged.

The difference? Nancy dressed in those little suits and always acted so demure. Hillary never made any bones about her capabilities or intelligence or education, and folks *hated* her for it.

Hmmm... I'd vote for Nancy as President :)
